## Discourse 2.8.11 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:

- Prevent email from being nil in InviteRedeemer [CVE-2022-39385](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/security/advisories/GHSA-gh5r-j595-qx48)
- Correctly render link title in draft preview [CVE-2022-46148](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/security/advisories/GHSA-c5h6-6gg5-84fh)
