The site settings beginning with "topic views heat" and "topic post like
heat" are set to defaults when installing Discourse, but there has not
been a process or guidance for updating these values based on
community activity.
This feature will update them once a month. The low, medium, and
high settings will be based on the minimums of the 45th, 25th, and
10th percentile topics respectively, so that 45% of topics will have
some "heat".
Disable automatic changes with the automatic_topic_heat_values setting.
You can now add javascript files under `/javascripts/*` in a theme, and they will be loaded as if they were included in core, or a plugin. If you give something the same name as a core/plugin file, it will be overridden. Support file extensions are `.js.es6`, `.hbs` and `.raw.hbs`.

This feature allows end users to "defer" topics by marking them unread
The functionality is default disabled. This also introduces the new site
setting default_other_enable_defer: to enable this by default on new user
accounts.
The migration for the ToS signup field happend in 2014. Everyone who hasn't updated yet needs to live with the English text "Terms of Service". There's no need to keep these unused translations forever.
We were blocking user registrations with same username and password,
but allowing usernames to be changed to be same as password later.
Also disallow names to be the same as password.
This is a feature that used to be present in discourse-assign but is
much easier to implement in core. It also allows a topic to be assigned
without it claiming for review and vice versa and allows it to work with
category group reviewers.
We found score hard to understand. It is still there behind the scenes
for sorting purposes, but it is no longer shown.
You can now filter by minimum priority (low, med, high) instead of
score.
