 - We completed the rebranding of `bibtexkey` as `citationkey` which was started in JabRef 5.1.
 - JabRef no longer opens the entry editor with the first entry on startup [#6855](https://github.com/JabRef/jabref/issues/6855)
 - Fetch by ID: (long) "SAO/NASA Astrophysics Data System" replaced by (short) "SAO/NASA ADS" [#6876](https://github.com/JabRef/jabref/pull/6876)
+- We changed the default preference option "Search and store files relative to library file location" to on, as this seems to be a more intuitive behaviour. [#6863](https://github.com/JabRef/jabref/issues/6863)
