Discourse 2.7, codenamed “Strowger” after the invention of the telephone, has been released. The update introduces several key features, including a new dashboard feature alert highlighting recent improvements, a revamped login and signup experience, and a completely overhauled invite system to support Discourse for Teams. Other enhancements include the ability to pause animated GIFs, improved accessibility, and a simplified one-click upgrade process for hosted instances. The release also includes important security fixes, with a public exploit bounty program in place. The community celebrates the release, with users particularly excited about the GIF pausing feature tobias eigen. A discussion arises about the share functionality, with codinghorror confirming the Web Share API is used on mobile, while Justin_Vega questions its absence on desktop Justin_Vega.
Today we release Discourse 2.7, building on Discourse 2.6 from last November. For post 2.0 releases we’ve chosen a new set of codenames based on the history of human communication; this release is Strowger and represents the invention of the telephone.
Wow! We’ve achieved so much with this release. Nice work, everyone! 
I am excited about all the new features, but my favorite by far is the ability to pause gifs. Now if only it were possible to pause my cat.
Is that simply just used as a fallback? I thought Discourse uses the Web Share API.
Yes, on mobile I believe that is true!
Oh, why doesn’t it happen on desktop?
