v9.0.0

v9.0.0

🚨 This version updates a major dependency and action is required to maintain developer workflows. This is not a breaking change for app functionality, builds, or deploys.

v9.0.0 replaces npm with pnpm to speed up CI and resolve some long-standing issues with package installation. Developers need to follow these steps to update local workflows:

• Run npm install -g pnpm@8.14.3
• Clear node_modules by running sh scripts/clear-node_modules.sh
• Run sh scripts/pnpm-ci.sh to install from the new pnpm-lock.yaml. (This is equivalent to package-lock.json)

Updated commands

• Package installation is now run with sh pnpm-i.sh
• All commands previously using npm now use pnpm. Ex npm run watch is now pnpm run watch

Breaking changes

• Update to pnpm #4548

New functionality

• 🌱 New commenter badge #4571

v8.8.0

In-page notifications

We’ve added an optional new in-page notifications feature. The new in-page notifications feature is enabled by default and can be controlled by admins inside the Configure menu. 



It includes these features:

• A new Notifications tab at the top of the comment stream that will show users new notifications on their comments. As users scroll through comments, a floating notification button will remain on the page so they can see and easily access new notifications.

• The ability to receive in-page notifications on comment replies, featured comments, and pending comment reviews.

• The ability for users to set their in-page notifications preferences in their Preferences tab.

The branch for this work is #4492
