Redesigned messages, multilingual search & a fresh look
🆕 New: Direct messages have a brand-new two-pane layout — your conversation list sits beside the open chat, with a polished mobile view that switches between the two.
🆕 New: A new Categories view for the forum home, alongside Feed and Grid — browse the community as a tidy directory of categories.
🆕 New: Optional Typesense search: a bundled extension that plugs into a Typesense engine for faster, typo-tolerant results, with an automatic fall-back to the built-in search.
✨ Improved: Search now understands languages that don’t put spaces between words (Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Thai and more).
✨ Improved: The theme editor can now set a forum-wide background image and recolour the sidebar widget headers.
✨ Improved: Grid view can show a default cover image for topics that don’t have their own.
✨ Improved: Categories can be reordered by drag-and-drop in the admin panel.
✨ Improved: The AI assistant’s auto-answer can now be limited to specific categories with a simple click-to-choose list.
