Only if you have betas enabled. Check your constants.php file for use dev builds constant.

That is a cache bust key unique to you. Normal browsing would not see that but since you are doing something "odd" it is putting that in to ensure you are not seeing a cached page.

I would personally be wary to implement this. It is a security feature. I get those sorts of emails all the time from various sites I login to. Yes, they can be redundant but I would rather know the check is happening than not.

That's a genius approach. When your spouse is good you can be like "I recognize your achievement." I'm sure that will go over well for all!

Apparently photos add congeniality to me.

So 4.6 will be releasing tomorrow (thursday) ? 

The old ranks and such were merged into the new Reputation system.
If you want to maintain the ability for people to put some text below their name on the post bit, you can use custom profile fields to do the same thing.

We have had auto-save in the editor for a long time now. If I type this and accidentally hit back on browser, when I return to the editor it will have kept my content and shown me a message telling me.

Happy Hump Day, fam! 
Been receiving a lot of messages about 4.6 and Achievements. We're near the finish line (I know that's annoying to hear but we're close!).
Why the wait? We absorbed a ton of useful feedback from you and are implementing it 👏 Achievements is turning out even more epic than what we launched here a few weeks ago 😭. It'll be worth the wait (again, annoying I know, but sit tight).
Our talented team of Code Yodas™ (aka our developers) implemented some cool additions that'll make their red carpet debut in 4.6. 📸 
The ones we're highlighting today are the improved appearance of Notifications Settings and Top Files reporting in the ACP. Shout-out to YouTube Short URLs being fixed as well.

Improved appearance of Notifications Settings
You'll notice we're adding more flexibility to control what kinds of notifications show, and incorporating them with the Push notifications feature. 😍 . Thanks to @Rikki for hooking up the screen shot preview!
 

 
 
Most Downloaded files statistics in the ACP
And for the data junkies, we've also added statistics for the most downloaded files in the ACP. Shout-out to @Matt Finger for this implementation!




 
Our full list of changes made in the last week:
- Fixed an issue where changing table filters could cause the table to be stuck in loading state due to an underlying error.
- Fixed an issue where Stripe webhook events may fail in some circumstances.
- Account settings will no longer prompt for re-authentication if the account does not have a way of re-authenticating. Applies mostly to custom SSO integrations.
- Fixed an issue where Youtube Shorts URLs would not embed.
- Fixed an issue where API requests may cause an error if referencing transactions from deleted members.
- Improved the appearance of the Notification Settings screen.
- Added support for converting Markdown formatted posts in Vanilla.
- Fixed some issues when converting from Vanilla and your files used to be in S3.
- Added statistics pertaining to the most downloaded files

Lots of exciting things going on here. What's your favorite from the list? Sound off in the comments - we'd love to hear from you!

We always have a long internal list. Right now we want to review our new cache rules. They will greatly improve performance but, if not done right, could cause lots of odd behaviors. There is also going to be a bulletin going out to all AdminCPs soon to remind people about features deprecated in 4.5 that will actually be removed in 4.6. We announced those over a year ago but just need to remind people.
But right now the big thing is refining Achievements. Since this is only the second site that has any real content using it, we are working on both bug fixes and general improvements. That is coming together nicely now.

Thanks... we support our beta releases so please do use them as you can submit support requests with issues. Just be sure to have backups and a willingness to work around issues as they are still betas!

The process will be the same this time other than we did not do an alpha site and instead are doing the alpha on this site. We release several betas until we are no longer receiving any bug reports then do the full release. It is perfectly normal that the full release is quickly followed by maintenance updates. I cannot think of a single bit of software I use that is not followed by maintenance releases soon after the full release.
I encourage you to participate in the beta releases.

We always release betas for big releases. Have been doing so for years 🙂 

Aren't people who use IE11 used to most of the Internet not working correctly? I mean it's not like it's just us who have said no more to 2003 😉
Or maybe they don't realize most things either do not work right or are otherwise not 100% on IE11? Either way: we are moving forward not looking back and it's not really our responsibility to "warn" people that they are out of date.
