This beta includes a critical security fix. All sites are encouraged to update as soon as possible. This fix ensures that the period parameter for top topic routes is properly validated.
New Personal Message (PM) style
We’ve updated the personal message style to use bubbles, helping to better distinguish PMs from regular topics.
Outside of styles directly impacting the personal messages, there are some supporting additions:
Adds class .current-user-post to your own posts
Adds class .embedded-reply to embedded posts’ .topic-meta-data
Adds new --tertiary-very-low color
Reworks some styles for deleted posts
Improvements to the header search widget
We have added some user experience improvements to the header’s search widget. Mentions and categories can now be quickly invoked using @ and # and the search also suggests more powerful filters when typing in:, status: or order:. Here is a quick screencast showing the new functionality:
