I've just installed the latest security update and upgraded a few plugins as well.
I think my message on the things that are new/changed since early April disappeared as well. From the top of my head I remember telling that the changes weren't as big template-wise as I expected (so you shouldn't really see any new wonky things) but there were a few minor problems (the wiki tagging stopped working) that I need to look into and a few new features like
- a mobile version of the forum that is offered when you visit on a mobile device (you can choose to use the desktop version)
- user tagging (twitter-like, just add @ in front of a user name- THIS SENDS A NOTIFICATION TO THAT USER (a pm, and if they've enabled emails about pms, also an email) so please use it sparingly. Make sure there are no spaces, so @Mervi works while @ Mervi doesn't. Unfortunately if the username contains a space, tagging them doesn't work at the moment. If someone bothers you with these, you can either edit your pm/email settings and/or contact an admin.
- a couple of new spam prevention methods that you shouldn't really have to worry about once you've completed registration (these had been deactivated which explains the recent flood of spam. I'm still not sure if that was due to the server glitch as well or if there's been something more sinister going on)
I also started an archive that was lost and updated the user titles list... gone as well. *sigh*
Can't think of anything else right now.
//ETA
Oh, I also deleted the mytwitter thingy from profiles (that used to display your latest tweet). It had stopped working and wasn't being updated. There is still an option to display a link to your twitter account tho.
