+- Behat now supports email content verification using Mailpit.
+  You can check the contents of an email using the step `Then the email to "user@example.com" with subject containing "subject" should contain "content".`
+  To use this feature:
+  1. Ensure that Mailpit is running
+  2. Define the following constants in your `config.php`:
+      - `TEST_EMAILCATCHER_MAIL_SERVER` - The Mailpit server address (e.g. `0.0.0.0:1025`)
+      - `TEST_EMAILCATCHER_API_SERVER` - The Mailpit API server (qe.g. `http://localhost:8025`)
+
+  3. Ensure that the email catcher is set up using the step `Given an email catcher server is configured`.

 - A new core\ip_utils::normalize_internet_address() method is created to sanitize an IP address, a range of IP addresses, a domain name or a wildcard domain matching pattern.
 
   Moodle previously allowed entries such as 192.168. or .moodle.org for certain variables (eg: $CFG->proxybypass). Since MDL-74289, these formats are no longer allowed. This method converts this informations into an authorized format. For example, 192.168. becomes 192.168.0.0/16 and .moodle.org becomes *.moodle.org.
