Discourse 2.2.0.beta10 Release Notes

New features in 2.2.0.beta10

Theme improvements

Beta10 continues our work to improve themes and theme components. Take advantage of different font size settings per device, so you can pick a large font on your High DPI desktop while keeping the normal size font on mobile. Also, import and export themes in a common .tar.gz format, quickly see which theme components are unused, and we’ve added support for additional metadata in the theme about.json.

2.2 release coming soon

With the 2.2 release just around the corner, we’ve spent extra time these last few weeks ironing out those pesky bugs, and a little less time on new features. Once the 2.2 release hits, expect another quiet week or two while we let the release settle, and then we’ll be right back to work with version 2.3.
