**Release day: 2024-05-16**

```

### Improvements

#### User Interface (UI)
- Upgraded Nodejs to v20.11.
- Pre-packaged Playbooks version [v1.39.3](https://github.com/mattermost/mattermost-plugin-playbooks/releases/tag/v1.39.3).
- Pre-packaged GitLab plugin version [v1.8.1](https://github.com/mattermost/mattermost-plugin-gitlab/releases/tag/v1.8.1).
- Pre-packaged Calls version [v0.26.2](https://github.com/mattermost/mattermost-plugin-calls/releases/tag/v0.26.2).
- Combined Desktop and Mobile notifications in the user settings modal.
- Added a **Don't Clear** option for Do Not Disturb.
- Enhanced the user interface for channel introductions.
- Added an ephemeral message for non-team member mentions in channels.
- Added emoji tooltips on hover in post message.
- Made the appearance of several tooltips more consistent.
- Updated theme colors for onboarding tour points.
- Updated the right-hand side Thread view to use relative timestamps to be more consistent with the global Threads view.
- Added a total reply count to the right-hand side thread view.
- Added Channel Bookmarks (disabled by default).

#### Administration
- Downloading a support packet is now extensible with plugins. If a plugin can add content to the support packet, it will be displayed in the commercial support modal. Administrators will have the option to include/exclude that from the support package.
- Added Channel Bookmarks permissions to the channel user role and to the channel moderation system.
- Added progress logs for attachments in bulk exports.
- Added a **System Console** option to rebuild Elasticsearch channels indexes.
- Obfuscated ``ReplicaLagSettings`` in the Support Packet.
- Improved license loading errors.
- Updated the keycloak docker configs and added a ``make`` command.
- Removed unused ``IsOAuth`` field from ``AppError``.
- ``bool`` is now used for ``license_is_tria``l in the Support Packet.
- Bulk export: added functionality to export roles and permissions schemes.
- A new flag (``extract-content``) was added to the mmctl import process that allows the server to skip content extraction during the import phase.

### API Changes
- Added a create channel bookmark endpoint at ``/api/v4/channels/{channel_id}/bookmarks``.
- Added additional query params to channel endpoints to include channel bookmarks.
- Added update channel bookmark endpoint at ``/api/v4/channels/{channel_id}/bookmarks/{bookmark_id}``.
- Added list channel bookmarks endpoint at ``/api/v4/channels/{channel_id}/bookmarks``.
- Added delete channel bookmark endpoint at ``/api/v4/channels/{channel_id}/bookmarks/{bookmark_id}``.
- Added update channel bookmark sort order endpoint at ``/api/v4/channels/{channel_id}/bookmarks/{bookmark_id}/sort_order``.
- Exposed a local-mode only API for reattaching plugins, primarily to facilitate mock-free unit testing.
- Exposed ``UpdateUserRoles`` in ``pluginapi``.
- Exposed ``pluginapi.ProfileImageBytes`` to simplify bot setup from a plugin.
- API Changes: For ``POST /channels``, added a validation for ``display_name`` to not pass validation if the display name is empty.

### Bug Fixes
- Fixed an issue with context cancellation for integration requests.
- Fixed an issue preventing the retrieval of SAML metadata.
- Fixed an issue causing an empty channel switcher after converting a Group Message to a private channel.
- Fixed an issue where System Admins were not allowed to LDAP sync SAML users when ``SamlSettings.EnableSyncWithLdap`` was true.
- Fixed an issue with markdown in the AD job status table.
- Fixed an issue with a control character in the group list modal.
- Fixed an issue where the auto-complete channels API returned archived channels in response.
- Fixed a crash issue in the **System Console**.
- Fixed an issue where links included in notifications were truncated and not clickable.
- Fixed using local requests instead of HTTP requests in the flow library.
- Fixed an issue where ``support_packet.yaml`` wasn’t generated even if an error occurred.
- Fixed an issue where outgoing webhooks did not trigger when using multiple callback URLs.
- Fixed an issue where it was not possible to clear plugin settings with a default value in the **System Console**.
- Fixed an issue where ``MaxUsersForStatistics`` wasn’t ignored when generating a Support Packet.
- Fixed an issue where the ``EnsureBot`` function did not recreate the bot if it had been manually deleted.
- Fixed an issue where users couldn't look up a user by their ID in the **System Console** anymore.
- Fixed an accessibility issue where the focus didn’t go back to the originating button when a modal was closed.
- Fixed an issue where end users were not allowed to fetch the group members list of groups that allow ``@-mentions``.

### config.json
A new setting option was added to ``config.json``. Below is a list of the addition and its default value on install. The setting can be modified in ``config.json``, or the System Console when available.

#### Changes to all plans:
- Under ``CloudSettings`` in ``config.json``:
- Added new config settings ``FileSettings.AmazonS3UploadPartSizeBytes`` and ``FileSettings.ExportAmazonS3UploadPartSizeBytes`` to control the part size used to upload files to an S3 store.
- Removed the ``UseNewSAMLLibrary`` experimental setting.
- Increased the default payload size limit (setting ``MaximumPayloadSizeBytes``) from 100 kB to 300 kB.
- Removed unused cluster settings: ``StreamingPort``, ``MaxIdleConns``, ``MaxIdleConnsPerHost``, ``IdleConnTimeoutMilliseconds``.

### Open Source Components
-

### Go Version
- v9.8 is built with Go ``v1.21.0``.

### Known Issues
- Status may sometimes get stuck as **Away** or **Offline** in High Availability mode with IP Hash turned off.
- Searching stop words in quotation marks with Elasticsearch enabled returns more than just the searched terms.
- Slack import through the CLI fails if email notifications are enabled.
- Push notifications don't always clear on iOS when running Mattermost in High Availability mode.
- The Playbooks left-hand sidebar doesn't update when a user is added to a run or playbook without a refresh.
- If a user isn't a member of a configured broadcast channel, posting a status update might fail without any error feedback. As a temporary workaround, join the configured broadcast channels, or remove those channels from the run configuration.
