@linc, I'm going to do a blog about the release and these seem like interesting points to harp on. I have a couple of questions:
- What does community managers mean in this context? Couldn't admins always turn particular reactions on and off?
- Could you give an example of a way that a client might want to use this?
- I'm not sure what this means
Thanks a lot for the help!

- "Garden.Community.Manage" is now a permission; yes, admins would already have it too.
- See Adrian's blog post about the promoted content module. This data is now accessible as JSON data (essentially, via API). The Smarty parameters are simply used as GET parameters instead. Adrian should be able to walk you thru this.
- Flagging addon simply wasn't enabled on mobile. This is different than the Reporting2 addon. Most cloud clients aren't using Flagging anyway afaik. I'd skip that one.
Personally I think "full Unicode support for usernames & mentions" is big news.

Thanks!

@linc, how about this for a blog post:
Spring is here, and with it a new update to our cloud service. If you're a cloud customer you don't need to fret, you'll be updated to the new version automatically. A complete change-log is at the end of the post, but here are some highlights:
Full Unicode Support in Usernames and @Mentions
With this change, your users now have more options than ever before when they sign up. Unicode contains over 110,000 characters and can fulfil the requirements of even the most esoteric communities. This support also extends to the Mentions system, so it will still be simple for your users to talk directly to each other within your community.
Pockets now has an "ad-free" functionality
Our Pockets plugin is now able to serve users with an ad-free experience based on their user role. This is great for those of you with paid tiers to your community, you can now offer your VIP users the option of skipping whatever ads you have on your site.
Granular Permissions for Reactions
Previously, only administrators were able to add or remove Reactions from a community. We've added a permission that allows you to give this to any user group. This is great for communities where moderators take an active hand in the gamification mechanics. You could even add a new usergroup with access to this permission for forum events and games.
Hundreds of Other Fixes and Improvements
The complete change-log is here:
Added YouTube embed for playlists & mobile URLs.
Approved posts now increment user post count.
Added full Unicode support for usernames & mentions.
New discussion form now defaults category to "Select a category" rather than being blank.
Added Atom feed support.
Fixed miscellaneous tutorial & doc links in the Dashboard.
Community Managers can now turn particular Reactions on and off.
Wall (profile activity) posts now send notifications.
Wall posts and status updates now bump when comments are added.
Fixed the notifications view for wall comment and post notifications.
Fixed scenario where Pockets could break a category's RSS feed.
Fixed "Troll" posts being viewable via their profile.
Removed file upload option from signature editing & wall posts.
Added endpoints for Promoted Content module.

Fixed VanillaPop private message replies working inconsistently.
Fixed unanswered discussion counter in Q&A addon.
Fixed notifications sometimes failing when comments were added via API.

Flagging addon now mobile-compatible.
74 more performance, security, compatibility, and under-the-hood enhancements.
We're committed to constantly improving and iterating our software to bring you the best possible performance for our cloud software.0 -
Looks good!
For Unicode, the big thing is that non-Latin alphabets can now have proper names. Background: https://modelviewculture.com/pieces/i-can-text-you-a-pile-of-poo-but-i-cant-write-my-name Unicode kinda sucks, but before we literally couldn't handle any names in 80% of the world.

Yet another request (from Hobsons) about being more transparent in release notes. Others who like to know exactly what's going on include Electronic Arts and Zenimax.
"74 more performance, security, compatibility and under-the-hood enhancements" may sound good, but all these people are going to do is wonder "what did they change that I don't know how to test against?"
If we can err on the side of being too detailed rather than not detailed enough, I'm sure this will help many of our clients to test these improvements and will show them that we're listening to their requests for more detailed patch notes.

My solution then will be to eliminate that line from future release notes. Summarizing those 74 pull requests to a third-party would be a full-time job and not provide any additional value to their QA teams.
0 -
In 7 months of development work, Hobsons found ONE change (breadcrumb structure) that they didn't notice on staging during that time and for that sin would like me to add days of work to every monthly release to convey things like "Added optimization to the speed of
Anchor()" and "Added event to Signatures" and "Validates keywords are strings". It's worthless, and just not happening.0 -

For:
"Granted non-admin permission granting to Community Manager permission."
Maybe replace with this? Longer, but maybe more clear:
"Roles with Community Manager permissions may now add and edit permissions for other roles. (This does not include administrator permissions, but does include other Community Manager permissions.)"
