I tried looking around for a changelog but I couldn't find one anywhere (let me know if you know where it is, I know you can look at the commits/merged PRs on Codeberg but there's a lot to dig through).

Here's some of the changes I've noticed:

Profile picture next to username in top right
Comments can now be sorted by "top"
Larger image preview when uploading an image
Magazine stats are now localized (yay!!!)
kbin logo instead of stormtrooper in the "Create your own instance" box
Vote colors are brighter on dark mode
New theme: Tokyo Night

This is just what I've seen after using the site for a bit after the update, let me know if there's anything I've missed!

I think html now may work in our profiles. I have a referral link to my mastodon account in my profile and it's always just shown up as the text, now after the update the code actually is recognize and showing up as a link (albeit, broken lol).

Edit: Fixed, def works at least for embedding a link.
Edit 2: Full on html, got a marquee tag working too lol

This was a wonderful update! But I seem to have come across a bug while browsing kbin as a PWA using Firefox on Android. The button for expanding posts seem to be overlayed by the boost button. Whenever I click to expand, the post is getting boosted instead.

EDIT: The issue is with the 'kbin usability pack' userscript and not kbin itself. My bad. Sorry for the unnecessary ping Ernest.

Page navigation at bottom improved. Now a box around your current page.

For me the on iOS, the top banner works now. Before I would have to fiddle rotation until I got the hamburger menu and navigate from there.
