¶ Important highlights from this release
- Added UGX Reactions. You can view the documentation of it here: UGX Reactions (in short it works similar to other websites / apps)
- Added BrowserUpdate.org notifications for outdated / insecure browsers
-
Improvements
- Improved registration step 5 (Optional Profile Information) and improved the error and labels for the Website URL and title.
- Replaced native scrollbars with nicer custome ones for reaction, emote and emoji picker
- First (of many) improvements for better page loading. (Many scripts will be loaded after page load now)
- More meaningful errors for users when they try to access a topic which does not exist anymore or is placed in Land of Spam.
- Improved service worker update and caching - you should have a better experience now (faster page loads) and a better update process.
- Improved CKEditor usability with quotes. Forum quotes are readonly now and it's easier to add a new line above or below a quote only text.
- Offline page (if there is no internet connection available) will show a reload button and tries to reload itself on connection again
- Changed visual style of login and register buttons of 3rd party providers
-
Fixes
- Fixed over 20 reported errors (through automated reporting by sentry)
-
Development Improvements
- Heavily improved deployment with automation script and also automated an dependency upgrade.
