⚠ v2026.3.0-latest.1 has 33 security fixes, is already 6 days old

TLDR I’d very much appreciate a return to seeing releases posted in the Announcements area.

Only 13 days after updating, I notice there’s been another release, which is already 6 days old, with loads of security fixes. I’m concerned that this appeared, to me, as a stealth release.

I didn’t notice it by a post on Announcements, because that doesn’t happen any more.

I didn’t notice it by email from my forum because that was broken for nearly a year.

I didn’t notice it by seeing any update on releases.discourse.org because I don’t poll that site looking for changes.

I didn’t notice any notification possibly because there wasn’t one and possibly because most recent notifications of updates on my dashboard have been spurious.

Probably I noticed it because I had reason to visit the Admin area of my forum and saw that there’s a new release.

I gather the missing email bug has been fixed.

I hope the spurious dashboard update notifications have been fixed.

I’d very much appreciate a return to seeing releases posted in the Announcements area.

(I’d quite like to know why 33 security fixes arrived all of a sudden but that’s incidental.)

Yeah, very sorry about that. It really shouldn’t have gone unnoticed for so long :grimacing:

Noted, thanks for the feedback. I’ve raised this with the rest of the team for discussion.

With the new release system, we are trying to reduce duplication of information/work as much as possible, so that’s why we’ve centralised on releases.discourse.org, which in turn pulls its information from GitHub and the ‘new features’ feed in Discourse core.

But I totally understand the desire to have pointers to that information on Meta. I’ll see what we can do.

I’d be interested to learn more about that. I’m not aware of any issues with the dashboard update UI :eyes:

huh, now there’s a thing, AI getting some credit wrt to security instead of a grumble about risk etc.
