New features in 3.6.0.beta1
Smoother color palette editing with a new interface
Building on our recent color palette management improvements , admins now have an even smoother way to customize their site’s colors. The new color palette interface seamlessly integrates with the overall admin design system, delivering a cohesive experience that makes palette management both powerful and approachable. Read more in the announcement .
Option to hide custom fields on sign up form
To make user fields more flexible and practical, showing them on sign up is now an option that can be switched off for individual fields. This means you can have a way for your members to provide their data without forcing them to provide it as they’re signing up. Existing fields have this option switched on by default, and it can be toggled as needed.
Themeable site settings more easily available
We recently announced themeable site settings as a way for theme developers to more tightly couple the user experience to their theme. As a subsequent improvement to this new way of managing settings like this, they are now readily available for admins to find in the standard settings pages. Themeable settings are displayed alongside other site settings with their default value and a link to the default theme’s edit page, where they can be modified as needed.
Support for Google’s new AI image model
Discourse’s AI tools now enable you and your members to generate images using Google’s top-rated new model right from your Discourse site. This model provides greater control over your image output, native image generation, more customization options, image blending, and much more—all available at your fingertips in Discourse.
More reliable saving of drafts with improved composer controls
The composer now includes clearer buttons for closing the window, while offering options for saving a draft or automatically saving your work as you close it. This provides greater assurance that your active drafts remain safely stored as you navigate around the site.
Security Updates
This release includes fixes for these security issues reported by our community and HackerOne .
