New features in 2.9.0.beta11
Security Updates
This beta includes 3 security fixes for issues reported by our community and HackerOne .
Plugin Security Updates
Multiple plugins have also received security fixes. Be sure to update plugins in addition to Discourse.
General is the default category
For sites with the General category, it will now be automatically selected when a new topic is created.
New site setting: require change email confirmation
Weâve added a new site setting, require change email confirmation
. When enabled, all users will need to confirm both their current email, and new email when changing it. When disabled, only staff users will need to confirm their current email when changing it.
Hide welcome topic if it hasnât been edited
All Discourse sites come with a welcome topic that admins are suggested to edit when setting up their site. This topic is now hidden from non-admin users until an edit is made.
Sidebar: Allow user to set preferred list destination
Users can choose between Default
or new/unread
as the destination when clicking links in the sidebar.
Sidebar: Display link for admins when default categories/tags are not configured
We now add a link to the sidebar for admin users when they have not configured the default_sidebar_categories
or default_sidebar_tags
site settings
New user tips (experimental)
In the latest beta of Discourse, we introduced user tips explaining the most important features of Discourse (enabled by default; to disable it, navigate to your site setting and search for âenable user tipsâ).

At this moment, there are user tips for:
first notification
topic timeline
post menu
topic notification level
suggested topics
admin guide: getting started (shown to admins on new sites )

User status configurable via preferences
Custom users statuses can now be configured via account preferences, /my/preferences/account
in addition to the user menu. This change also allows site setting to edit and/or clear a custom status from a user as needed.
Dark mode option for category logos
Admins can now upload a second category logo which will be used for dark themes.
