A3.27 Release Notes

This release was focused mainly on bug fixing and cleanup. There are few notable enhancements, however…

  • Safari support – we’re happy to announce that we’ve added Safari 3.0+ to our list of supported browsers. Truth be told, its been working for a few weeks now, but we now feel we’ve been able to test it thoroughly enough to call it good to go. Enjoy it on your iPhone!
  • Expert role permissions – domain experts can now modify the descriptions of types and their properties without having permissions to edit the rest of the schema. More on this here.
  • Discussions from schema editor – got an idea for a new property? We’ve reintroduced the link to the discussion system from schema editor. Posts made here will also be linked to the domain for easier tracking as well.
  • Add new input is inline when type has no topics – if you go to a sparsely populated type, you’ll now see a prominent place to add new topics.
