Hi all, just now, the software of this forum is upgraded to the latest Discourse 3.5 release (3.5.1). More information about the latest version is available on the Discourse blog. The product manager for Discourse highlights the following changes:
Some highlights from the release include:
A new visual composer
A new core theme
Improved colour management
Automatic content translation
Please let me know if there are any issues after this upgrade.
Well, there is this.
Your browser will soon be incompatible with this community. To keep participating here, please upgrade your browser or learn more.
While this shouldn’t be a problem with Iceweasel and derivative ports, I’m not sure what it means for other browsers available on Haiku.
What browser are you using?
The few browsers I tried on Haiku are not showing that message. It comes from a linux PC needing a distrib upgrade, so an old FF.
Same issue here,latest Basilisk version on FreeBSD.
It’s really a shame that even a forum software is so complicated and full of JS-bloat nowadays that it limits the compatible browsers that strictly.
On the technical side, the features we’ll be requiring including relative color syntax, subgrid, lookbehind regex and import maps, all of which will enable improved performance and user-experience for Discourse users.
Mostly CSS things, it doesn’t seem so ugly.
CSS alone wouldn’t break the whole site and make it fall back to the read-only HTML version.
I guess they’re adding some feature detection to intentionally lock out browsers that aren’t 100% supported again.
I already have to circumvent that in Basilisk in response to an earlier update.
With a few unsupported CSS features alone,you’d most likely get a few small design glitches,but have the site otherwise working as intended.
By the way,I’m not seeing any bug here currently due to the block I’ve been circumventing for months.
FWIW, links -g still seems to work fine (at least for reading while not logged in).
Yeah,that’s the HTML fallback version,which is read-only.
You can only read stuff with it,not log in and not create posts.
