#### Highlights
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- New Inbox view shows all unread messages in a conveniently
|
||||||
|
browsable experience, similar to the mobile home screen.
|
||||||
|
- (Incomplete) Added support for following a topic, with configurable
|
||||||
|
notification settings for followed topics and flexible configuration
|
||||||
|
options to automatically follow topics when sending a message or
|
||||||
|
otherwise interacting with it.
|
||||||
|
- (Incomplete) New @topic mentions support mentioning only users who
|
||||||
|
have participated in a topic.
|
||||||
|
- (Incomplete) Typing notifications now support stream messages.
|
||||||
|
- Clicking on a message in search views now directly takes the user to
|
||||||
|
the target message, instead of starting a reply.
|
||||||
|
- Added new unread count display style setting, controlling in which
|
||||||
|
streams to display a numeric unread count or a simple dot unread
|
||||||
|
indicator. Defaults to numeric counts in normal streams, but a dot
|
||||||
|
indicator in muted streams.
|
||||||
|
- Added support for creating voice calls.
|
||||||
|
- Major visual design improvements in the message feed, search
|
||||||
|
area/navbar, and left sidebar.
|
||||||
|
- Added thumbnails and lightbox player support for video links and
|
||||||
|
video files uploaded directly in Zulip. Previously, Zulip only
|
||||||
|
supported this for videos hosted by third-party platforms that
|
||||||
|
provide an embedded player, like YouTube and Vimeo.
|
||||||
|
- (Incomplete) Pasting HTML into the compose box will now convert it
|
||||||
|
into corresponding Zulip markup. Improved pasting URLs with text
|
||||||
|
selected. New formatting buttons for bulleted and numbered lists.

||||||
