2.28.2 Release Notes

July 13, 2022

Summary

The 2.28.2 maintenance release includes a number of fixes and minor enhancements that were originally introduced in 2.28.1 including the ability to now delete custom groups that are no longer needed. The delete process provides the opportunity to re-assign users to another group or to simply remove them from the group being deleted. Users who were only a member of the group being deleted will be re-assigned to the 'user' group if no other group is specified.

New Analytics Features

The analytics dashboards have been updated to add additional timescale selectors for "year" and "all time" to provide easy one click comparisons with "day", "week", and "month" options. The dashboard on the admin home page now includes the ability to select the time ranges; it was previously static and reflected the status of the last 7 days (week).

The user engagement panel on the main, user, and site dashboards has been enhanced to more fully depict user account status so community managers can easily understand for the selected time period, how many users were contributing, signed in and passively reading the site, did not log in (inactive), were suspended or had their accounts deactivated.

  • Updated recently released outdated content feature so that the UI link on all posts to report outdated is shown for all users that have permission to report content.
