New Features & Enhancements
- NEW: Community Forums now ships with its own editor (based on TipTap) to replace the outdated CKEditor used in DNN; enabled by default on new installs; must be enabled after upgrading existing sites (https://github.com/DNNCommunity/Dnn.CommunityForums/wiki/editor-selection)
- ENHANCED: Community Forums posts (from publicly-readable forums) included in DNN Portal site map now use algorithmic ranking for priority and frequency based on recency of post and replies, number of likes, etc. (https://github.com/DNNCommunity/Dnn.CommunityForums/wiki/Site-Map)
- ENHANCED: The "URL Rewriter" module used for friendly URLs has been significantly overhauled to address maintainability, scalability, and performance issues (#1885)
- ENHANCED: "Filtered topics" pages now include "time frame" dropdown (i.e. see only unread topics for past month), options are now more dynamic (e.g., "announcements" and "most likes" are only shown if applicable) and have much better performance (#1888)
- ENHANCED: Content shown using the "What's New" module is now cached to improve performance (#1890)
