Christmas has come early. 5.0.14 Beta 1 is now available!

This is our monthly updates and improvements release. You can see the full changelog here.

Along with the usual bug fixes and improvements, we've also got the following new functionality:

Iframely Integration

Iframely is a uniform delivery service for rich media embeds. It has over 1900 different services it is compatible with, and allows many services to be delivered easily as an embed inside a post editor when pasting a link.

While Invision Community works well with oEmbed providers, there are some services that do not use this protocol or put it behind a complicated application process, as Meta does for Facebook and Instagram.

Now, IFramely removes that complication and allows you to embed Facebook and Instagram content without the need to create a Meta app and get through an approval process.

There is a generous free tier, and all you need to do is create an account and paste in the API key hash provided.

Assignment Updates ☁️

Our assignments feature gets two new useful features: auto-closing after X days, and a daily reminder notification on open assignments.

These are two popular requests, and we're pleased to get these into the December release.

Let us know how you get on!

Not a good thing. Less revenue for 3rd party developers to make money. Now it’s a waste of time and effort.

That’s true, but you want to see it from the perspective of the client. 😉

To be honest, when that customer pointed out that new members see everything as unread and it made no sense, we all wondered how no one else had pointed that out in 20 years because it makes more sense from a new member's point of view to have everything read and then you can track what you care about instead of every single thing in the community demanding attention right away.

5.0.14 Beta 2 is here!

Changes in this beta:

#6140 Fix alignment of tooltips and dropdowns in RTL
#6152 Minor fix for some oEmbed URLs and load auto-sizing JS

iFramely integration is really cool because members can finally embed Instagram posts again. Unfortunately my community surpassed the free tier of 1000 hits in less than 24 hours lol.

Unfortunately our bug with warning users and disabled date fields was not fixed.

On the other side no complains after upgrade. 👍

There are several fixes to the warning form in 5.0.15

We have released a patch to address the following:

• An issue with some forms not saving changes.

• An issue with the Warning form where a date was not selectable for the warning duration.

You can apply this patch from your AdminCP on the support page. If you do not see any patches available, that means you already have the latest version.

Security Update.

We have released a patch to fix an important security issue in Invision Community 5.

To obtain the patch, please go to System > Support and apply the patch from the top left box.

This patch is included in any new downloads of the Invision Community, and all affected Cloud customers have been automatically patched.
