This article documents the development of the new HTML5 web. New features are also pointed out.

Version September 30, 2020
  • Groups:
    • New - App Sidebar:
      • We have added a sidebar app menu on the left side on groups. This allows you to quickly access certain apps or the app menu.
      • On smaller screens, the sidebar menu will show up above the chat.
    • App menu:
      • The design for the app menu has been improved.
      • An issue has been fixed where opening a group on a smaller screen would leave a large space at the top, requiring you to scroll down to get to the HTML5 chat. Now the chat is directly appearing at the top.
    • xatframe settings:
      • The system has been more efficient as the global xatframe setting will not override the current xatframe setting anymore.
      • After clicking “save” on the modal, it will now update the xatframe directly without having to refresh the page anymore.
      • Reminder: The settings are accessed from the top menu under the “group” tab.
    • xatframe clickable content:
    • Trade app:
      • When opening a private chat, switching pools and then opening the Trade app, the name and added values wouldn’t be shown. We have fixed this issue. Trading between pools is now possible.
      • A critical issue has been fixed where after completing a trade, the added values wouldn’t show when doing another trade right after.
      • System error 66 and 69 (login requirement) will give better information now.
  • Editgroup:
    • Tabs:
      • Using forbidden contents such as “embed” will now show an error.
    • Group powers:
      • Link - You can now simply add links with a built-in tool.
      • Gback - When adding a Gback on the Gscol, it will now automatically add a “#” at the beginning, if this is missing. “#” is required for Gback to work.
  • Events:
    • We added a way to quickly search events from other groups. To do so, simply add the group name in the field.
    • When clicking “search” or “old results” it will not automatically bring you to the first row of the table.
    • Special characters would be encoded into HTML characters, this issue has been fixed.
  • Create Group:
    • An issue has been fixed where if invalid characters were used, you wouldn’t receive an error.
  • xatframe library
    • xatframes with clickable content will be better pointed out now. To see them, simply click on the button at the right.
    • Top five xatframe submitters are now listed. The listing depends on the amount of submitted xatframes. If there’s an equal amount, it will randomly show a user per refresh.
  • Miscellaneous:
    • Improvements:
      • Buttons (login/register) on top menu have been improved.
      • The power banner design has been changed and you can now also hover over smilies to see the name.
    • Bug Fixes:
      • User personalized content on the homepage wouldn’t properly show for languages other than English, this has been fixed.
      • On top menu (groups), clicking on featured/popular/etc would bring you the old web page, this has been fixed.
      • An issue has been fixed where the “account” menu at the top right would show a large stripe of images if the avatar was animated.
