Here’s the blurb from the announcement:

> [@2.8.0.beta9: Tag Descriptions, Recent Searches, Sticky Avatars, and more](https://meta.discourse.org/t/2-8-0-beta9-tag-descriptions-recent-searches-sticky-avatars-and-more/210700/1):
>
> ### @here support
> 
> Users can now mention @here to notify 10 people who replied to the topic. Admins can manage permission to use the @here mention, and the number of users mentioned, via the `max_here_mentioned` and `min_trust_level_for_here_mention` site settings.
