So I've been holding off for a little while on features whilst working on feature compatibility with our forthcoming platform upgrade. Happy to say that the day is getting closer.
Not many visual changes with this upgrade but lots of under the hood stuff in no particular order:
Not many visual changes with this upgrade but lots of under the hood stuff in no particular order:
- Native push notifications on supported devices/browsers - if you use a recent Android device or supported modern browser you will have the opportunity to receive near real time push notifications for alerts (so the things you get emails for today may also be pushed to your browser). You no longer need the CCF app for this however the current implementation does not support nor will it ever support Apple devices due to restrictions on their end (sorry).
- Editor buttons - we will re-organize our editor a little to make more used buttons higher priority
- Enhanced editor integration and advanced BB code option syntax
- Markdown support - techie term, if you know what it is you will have it, if you don't, no worries
- Tables - you can create and insert tables now in posts (bet you didn't know you couldn't do that)
- Reactions - our reaction system is getting an overhaul
- URL unfurling - hmmm.... basically when you insert a link to an external website we will attempt to unfurl or create a short preview of the content (so you know if it's worth clicking)
- Emoji enhancements including an improved smilie menu with easy emoji access
- Video uploads
- Performance improvements
- Content bookmarking and sharing
- BB code and rich text editing for profile posts and comments
