2016.5.19 — Change Log

Our blog has moved to our main website! Check us out on discord.com/blog to stay in the loop about future posts.

• Server Sorting is here by popular request. We thought the Where’s Waldo game was fun… but then decided it wasn’t. Simply drag & drop a server icon to reorder it.
• Voice Channel Limits for when you don’t want friends creeping on your strategies. Just limit your channel to five (or three, or ten, or ninety-nine) people and squelch the espionage before it starts. By popular request.
• Reduced Latency in Voice Activity Detection mode for desktop and mobile clients by 100ms. No more excuses for getting ganked by… oh shit waddup!
• Large Server member lists are now much faster and use substantially less CPU. Cheers, /r/Overwatch, this one’s for you!
• Find Yourself easily by clicking the channel name in the status indicator. Get whisked away to the server you’re talking in weeeeeee.
• Quickly Move people to a voice channel by right clicking on them anywhere in a server. Organization made easy.
• Server Settings are now available via the right click context menu.
• Accepted Instant Invite Links will bring you to the appropriate channel when you click on them a second, third, fourth, fifth, or sixth time. Not sure about seventh.
• Developer Mode for Developers. Because sometimes you really want a channel ID without doing any work when you’re making a Discord bot. Turn it on in User Settings and start right clicking stuff.
• Pro Tips are pro, so we added more for new Discord users. Get your learn on.
• Clicking a Windows notification will now bring you to the right spot… instead of the wrong spot.

• Sometimes after uploading a file Discord wouldn’t let you upload a second file. We asked nicely and Discord decided to change it’s mind.
• For some reason trying to upload the same file twice in a row wouldn’t work. Discord decided to change this too.
• Permissions ordering would sometimes be incorrect, which is very inconvenient. Now it works.
• To move a member to a channel, you need to have connect & move member permission on the target channel.
• Fix shrinking of “Now Playing” bar in the game settings.
• Fix member list sometimes not updating when a new user joins a server.
• Fix bug where friends would appear as idle even if they were actually present riding a unicycle.
• Voice connections should recover more often now when they end up “Disconnected.”
• [iOS] Fixed a very inconvenient crash bug when connected to voice on iOS devices.
• [iOS] The typing indicator now behaves properly — doesn’t show users who were typing in the previous channel you were in after switching.
• [Android] Fixed rare shiny bug that would prevent users from connecting in servers with invalid role colors.

• BRAZILIAN VOICE SERVERS OH MY GOD FINALLY. We’re also working on spinning up a bunch of new regions like Tokyo, Hong Kong, and Russia.
• The internet can be a dangerous place, so we’re rolling out Two Factor Authentication very soon.
• Communities have wanted to audit moderator activities for a while… the new Server Audit Logs feature will enable just that!
• Editing voice channel limits on desktop is cool. It’s coming to mobile soonish.
• Progress on the Linux client continues and it’s almost ready for prime time! If you want it now check Google. :-)
• Phase 2 of the friends list (1 on 1 and group calls/chat) is on deck.
• Sometimes you want to call out a message for everyone to see in a channel. Get your thumbtacks ready, because message Pinning is coming!
• Search your message history for keywords or to find previously uploaded files like Sherlock riding a water buffalo.
• Tell us what you want to see at http://feedback.discordapp.com
