New features in 3.5.0.beta1

Easy switching between light and dark mode

If you’re using a theme that has both dark and light modes, you now have the option of displaying a selector to your users for them to choose which mode they prefer. The selector can appear in the footer or the header, and allows users to select dark, light or auto, which will select the appropriate mode based on their system settings. This core feature replaces the now-deprecated theme component that provided this selector. Read the announcement here.

More useful information when flagging content

To help site admins remain compliant with evolving legislation, the flag modal now includes text providing a brief explanation of what happens when content is flagged and how it is reviewed. This text can be customised to include any necessary information, like the expected timeframe for reviews. Learn more about this in our documentation.

By default, this text reads:

All flags are received by moderators and will be reviewed as soon as possible.

Check out the feature documentation for how to edit that and add your own details to it.

Encouraging better conversations

In order to foster more interesting and valuable conversations, we now have a setting for not counting uploads when calculating the minimum length of a post. With the new prevent uploads only posts setting enabled, posts that contain only images or other uploads, will be blocked from publishing, encouraging users to offer more substantial and valuable input when engaging in conversations.
