History Overhaul
With Release Candidate 1, we have completely updated the look of the history tab to place more of an emphasis on the individual users who have contributed and to show more useful information about what they have changed in each version of a page.As before, the history tab details:
- how much longer or shorter the page is compared to the previous edit
- whether an individual section was edited
- the reason that the user gave for editing the page
However, the following information is now also given:
- whether the page's prefix or title has changed
- for attachments, whether the file type has changed
- for attachments, whether the file size has changed
- for images, whether the dimensions have changed
- for images, a thumbnail is shown
Each listed version is also color-coded to differentiate minor edits, deleted edits, and moderated edits from regular edits. More visual importance is given to the first edit and the current edit.
These changes also apply to the Special pages for Recent Changes and User Contributions.
Mobile Style (vBulletin 4)
VaultWiki 4 now works under the Mobile Style in vBulletin 4. Mobile users will once again be able to access many of the wiki features they were used to under the main site.Since vBulletin 4 simply showed a blank page whenever something was unavailable in the Mobile Style, this is a significant improvement that will almost immediately result in lower exit rates and higher user retention.
Release Notes
VaultWiki 4 RC 1 should be usable on vBulletin-based and XenForo-based production sites.VaultWiki 4 RC 1 is proposed as stable for community evaluation. Further significant bugs will delay a 4.0.0 release and result in further release candidates.
