# New features in 1.9.0.beta17 ### Full rebake of all old posts There have been a number of significant changes to post formatting over the last few major releases, but those changes only affect new/edited posts. To ensure the improved formatting is applied to all posts a scheduled rebake of all posts will occur. This rebake is limited to 100 posts rebaked per 15 minutes to avoid unnecessary stress on your server. ### User login/logout webhook Webhooks are a great way to be alerted when something happens in Discourse. Previously a webhook could be triggered when a user is created, approved or updated. Webhooks will now also be send when a user logs in or out. ### New post selection options Sometimes site staff need to select a large number of posts in a topic to delete or move. In addition to the existing ‘select all’ option, staff can now also select ‘select +below’ and ‘select +all replies’ for a more fine-tuned selection. ### New Translation Languages We added Serbian as a new language option in Discourse. To help translate Discourse to your language, visit [https://www.transifex.com/discourse](https://www.transifex.com/discourse). If your language is not yet supported, see [How to add a new language](https://meta.discourse.org/t/how-to-add-a-new-language/14970). ### Security Updates This beta includes 3 security fixes for issues reported by our community and [HackerOne](https://hackerone.com/discourse). - Don’t pass email backup token to sidekiq as a parameter. - Any group can be invited into a PM. - Prevent staged accounts from changing email. # Plugin improvements ### Onebox - Update audio onebox to accept opus files ### Patreon - Multiple bug fixes ### Chat Integration - Minor copyedit ### Voting - Show Voting on mobile topic list ### Mobile Apps - Update to React Native 0.21 - Support subfolder sites # Additional Features and Fixes > **Click to expand** > > ### New Features > > - Search log term details page > - Converting code tags to Markdown while pasting > - Keep supported HTML tags in HTML to Markdown conversion > - Upload images and fonts in themes via hijack > - HTML to Markdown conversion using native JavaScript ES6 classes > - Store twitter supplied email for auditing > > ### Bug Fixes > > - Stop forking regular backup jobs > - Don’t disable details when below truncate limit > - Refreshing Gravatar didn’t work > - External links in whisper ended up in a white page > - Clicking a link in a onebox wasn’t properly extracting the post\_id > - Load tracked/watched/muted categories on screen loading > - Prevent loading of invalid locales from plugins > - Data loss on update of single user\_field. > - Details tags broke excerpts > - Validates ‘ThemeField’ name when used in a SCSS variable > - Correct issue with search omitting words with multiple dots > - `moderators` group wasn’t being updated to be messagable by everyone. > - Properly omit inactive and silenced users from directory > - Publish presence to allowed groups as well > - Load the appropriate file for AlternativeReplyByEmailAddressesValidator > - IE syntax error in regular expression > - Add ‘SiteSetting.port’ to ‘Onebox.allowed\_ports’ in development mode > - Prevents global input width to impact input inside emoji picker filter > - Don’t count users as replying long after they are done typing > - Use hijack for emoji uploads > - IE compatability issue in clipboard files array > - Reset scroll position when switching tab in edit category modal > - Wasn’t able to recover a post > - Disable New Topic button if filtered to a tag and a category that you don’t have permission to post in > - Inline head tag html pasting > - Prevent 💥 when selecting replies to posts quoting themselves > - A topic should be visited when you’ve read everything and there’s deleted posts at the end > - Incorrect pending\_users\_reminder user count > - Do not onebox flagged post link > - Do not display used categories as selectable in categories notifications preferences > - Make sure scrollbar don’t appear > - Not permitted theme params when importing theme > - Constant lookup error when exporting theme > - Set a default color scheme when creating a new one > - `User#user_avatar` may be nil. > - Save whisper drafts > - Post.reply\_ids should also handle quotes > - Wasn’t redirected to group inbox > - Ensure we’re always changing 1 post ownership > - Rake task for updating posts received by email should not crash > - Empty uploads and blank filenames caused errors during validation > - Links with query params to external sites fail to load if ga universal auto link domains is used > - Make sure we don’t show scrollbars on toolbar-popup-menu > - Replace invitee\_name to inviter\_name in translation overrides > - Make sure new badges have a default type > - Correctly count participants when more than 24 > - Do not send mailing list emails to unapproved users > - Ensure staged accounts are always inactive > - Path whitelist for embedded comments didn’t work with non-ASCII chars > - Moderation History wasn’t working from timeline admin button > > ### UX Changes > > - Better centering in presence plugin > - Reducing number of overall font sizes > - Reducing number of font sizes used in mobile view > - Reducing number of different fonts used in Admin > - Allow for iPhone X in iOS Hacks > - Only publish presence when typing a message > - Removing px font defintions and replacing with em > - Don’t shown the ‘staff-counters’ div when there’s no counter > - Increasing line-height for headlines in all post content > > ### Performance > > - Add option to limit how many categories are processed in one call to CategoryFeaturedTopic.feature\_topics > - Better handling of headings in HTML inline pasting
