[IPS News] 4.5: Everything else

[NewsBot]

We have announced a lot of new things coming soon with Invision Community 4.5. Most of these are pretty big new features worth a blog on their own.

However, we've made a lot of smaller changes that may not deserve their own blog but still have a significant impact.

Let's run through some of those.

Performance Improvements
For every major release, we take some time to run through the code and look at ways to make Invision Community run more efficiently.

For Invision Community 4.5, we've made node forms, sitemaps and commonly run SQL queries more efficient, which is excellent news for you and your users who get reduced server load and a snappier community.

TikTok Embed
Although it confuses me greatly, TikTok has taken the internet by storm. We have added it to the embed list so pasting a TikTok share link automatically shows the video ready to play in the comment.

Upload Chunking
Uploading large files can be tricky. Typically trying to push a large file to a server results in timeouts, memory issues and eventually frustration. We have added chunked uploading when using S3. Put simply; this uploads part of the file at a time to prevent memory issues and the server timing out waiting for the upload to finish.

View Members by Rank
Very recently, we were asked how you can view all members in the ACP of a specific rank. It turned out you couldn't. This quick change was added into Invision Community 4.5.

Download Statistics
While Invision Community 4.5 has new and improved statistic displays, a common request was to be able to download the raw data. This is now possible.

Downloads
In Invision Community 4.5, when you require approval of new versions of files submitted to Downloads, the original version will no longer be hidden from view. We've added a new flow for moderators to approve these new versions.

Live Meta Tag Editor
Invision Community 4.5 seemed like a great time to run through this feature and tweak the functionality to make it more useful. Now it's possible to remove default meta tags, and it's easier to remove custom tags.

Closed Tag Autocomplete
When using the closed tag system where a user can select from one of your preset tags, we have added a search box to make it easier to find a single tag from a list of potentially hundreds.

EU Tax Support in Commerce
Tax doesn't have to be taxing! But it generally is. Countries within the EU often have complex tax rates. Commerce now supports multiple tax rates for consumers, businesses and EU VAT-registered businesses.

That concludes our mini round-up of all the things we've not talked about yet. Let me know which one you're looking forward to most!

Jak dla mnie to te mniejsze rzeczy są lepsze niże te niektóre większe. No może oprócz tiktoka.

Wszystko pięknie ładnie, a wiadomo mniej więcej kiedy premiera IPS 4.5. Ponieważ Alpha już jest dostępna. Poniżej dowód - https://invisioncommunity.com/services/migrate/

Jest dostępny podgląd online, ale nie pliki do pobrania.

Tam pewnie "zasysa" nazwę z ich wewnętrznego systemu gdzie pewnie jest dostępna. Dla pracowników.
