Changelog

Kialo’s comprehensive release history.

Release Notes #618

  • Pressing a claim link on touch devices will show a preview of the claim. Clicking on the preview will navigate to the claim.
  • Due to the latest Safari release changing the way it treats embeds, embedded Kialo discussions are currently not working properly with Safari anymore. Safari users will instead see a message to open the embedded discussion in a new tab. This will be reverted when we have found a good solution for the underlying Safari problem.
