We're pleased to announce the release of the WoltLab Suite 5.5, consisting of the powerful Core package and our 5 modular apps that enrich your community.
A new feature is the live update[1], which has been in use on woltlab.com for some time already and notifies about new notifications and posts in real time. Especially in popular threads you can read new posts without reloading the page and participate in the discussion immediately.
The new search function also offers significantly increased convenience and allows effortless refinement of the results through additional filters, even sharing the URL is now possible. Also worth mentioning is the new subscription feature for threads, which for the first time also allows ignoring threads.
