Today I’m releasing an update to bring compatibility with [the _fantastic_ new Glimmer Topic List system](https://meta.discourse.org/t/upcoming-topic-list-changes-how-to-prepare-themes-and-plugins/343404), modernisation and a host of other improvements and compatibility changes.

**You must be on latest and enable Glimmer Topic Lists.**

If you think Locations is awesome and I did a great job, you can [buy me a coffee](https://github.com/sponsors/merefield/sponsorships?sponsor=merefield&tier_id=464896&preview=false) ☕, and if Locations is important to your business or organisation, please consider [sponsoring me on one of the higher tiers](https://github.com/sponsors/merefield?frequency=recurring&sponsor=merefield)🏅 . This will all help to guarantee timely updates to Locations and its future.

# Release 6.8.0

- FEATURE: you can now click on a Topic location on the Topic List and it will bring up a map in a modal showing the location. 🗺 🚀
- FEATURE: new setting `location_short_names` removes the address from the location display for Topics, allow you to tailor what is shown.
- COMPATIBILITY: resolves a host of deprecations to maintain compatibility with core:
  - Topic List front end API changes
  - Fontawesome icon name changes
  - New Topic Draft system.

- FIX: Topic Locations: when setting a Topic Location via selector (not Input Fields), this resulted in a blank Location being displayed.
- FIX: formatting of Location Selector is much much nicer.
