Versie 1.1 van Discourse is uitgekomen. Deze opensource-forumsoftware wordt ontwikkeld in javascript en Ruby on Rails, en onderscheidt zich van traditionele forumsoftware door features die hun oorsprong hebben in sociale media, waaronder infinite scrolling, live updates, expanding links en het kunnen toevoegen van attachments door middel van drag and drop. Discourse wordt onder meer gebruikt door BoingBoing, HowToGeek en Ubuntu. De aankondiging voor versie 1.1 kan hieronder worden gevonden.
Discourse 1.1!
The complete release notes have a detailed summary of the hundreds of fixes, UI improvements, feature tweaks, and new features in Discourse 1.1, but here are a few highlights:
Improved Search
Search now provides a lot more feedback, including dates, category, and bolded matches in context. There’s also finally a help link on search which describes all the custom operators and orders you can use, as well as providing general search tips.
Custom User Fields
You can specify custom boolean or text fields for user profiles, including fields that need to be captured at sign up time.
New User Cards
New user cards with customizable backgrounds and selectable badge images, if you hold a badge that has an eligible image associated. The user profile page also got some design updates.
1.1 is a polish release and reflects a stabler, faster, more secure Discourse. It’s what 1.0 should have been, but open source software is never “done”. Upgrade your instance today via our easy one click admin panel updater!
