### Automatically expire unused API keys

For enhanced security, Discourse will automatically expire API keys that have not been used for long periods of time. Search for `expire_user_api_keys_days` in your admin console.

### Links are searchable

Thanks to @nbianca links inserted in posts are now indexed for searching. See how it works with [this example search](https://meta.discourse.org/search?q=https%3A%2F%2Fgithub.com%2Fdiscourse%2Fdiscourse%2Fblob%2Fmaster%2Fdocs%2FINSTALL.md%20).

### Emoji 11.0 added

We’ve added support for the new Unicode 11.0 emojis.

@gerhard wrote a new importer to migrate Telligent sites to Discourse. See [our list of importers](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/tree/master/script/import_scripts) to discover more.

### Add “Reset Bump Date” action

In the previous beta we added an [auto bump by category](https://meta.discourse.org/t/automatically-bumping-old-topics-on-a-category/92518) feature.

Now staff can choose to _reply_ to a topic without bumping it:

Staff can also change the topic’s last bump date to the last visible post in the topic.

More information available here:

> As a staff member you sometimes have the need to post a reply without bumping the topic to the top of the list. And now you can do exactly that. There’s a new “Toggle topic bump” in the composer’s reply selector. An anchor will appear at the top of the composer when bumping is disabled. Another new feature is the “Reset Bump Date” action in topic wrench menu. It changes the topic’s bump date to the date of the last visible post in the topic. That’s quite useful when the…
