## New features in 3.1.0.beta7
### New Discourse Lightbox using Glimmer
Discourse “lightboxes” uploaded images into a nice overlay that contains the full-size image and in this version, we begin to [transition from the old Magnific popup library](https://meta.discourse.org/t/migrating-away-from-magnific-popup/251505) to an implementation based on [Glimmer](https://guides.emberjs.com/release/upgrading/current-edition/glimmer-components/). To try out the improved system, check the `enable experimental lightbox` setting,
### New JSON Editor for theme and component settings
To help admins import / export / edit settings easily, we now offer a native JSON editor. For themes and components that allow further configuration, click the
 button to open the editor.
### Toggle public channels in Discourse Chat
The new `enable_public_channels` site setting allows site admins to decide if public channels are available or not. If disabled, users will only be able to use Personal Chats but not channels.
