## Discourse 2.7.1 Stable Release

Discourse strongly recommends that all sites follow the default tests-passed branch of Discourse. The “stable” branch is more focused on _lack of change_ than _lack of bugs_ - all releases, including those on tests-passed and beta are production ready.

### Changes

#### Security

Do not allow unauthorized access to category edit UI

#### Bug Fix:

- Disable lightboxing of animated images
- Close hyperlink modal on ESC key
