==Deprecation and removal of the WikiForum & Chat== | |||
As these two features have seen less & less traffic in the recent years, we have taken the decision of retiring them fully. | |||
They will no longer be available. As part of this process, we are also merging the selected/featured tags for languages that the community & we particularly much like.

==Massive site upgrades== | |||
The Linguifex site has had its backend systems upgraded to run on a newer operating system, homogenized HTTP stack (backend & TLS frontend now use the same) and was updated to version 1.30. | |||
Linguifex will be updated to 1.32 as soon as possible | |||

==Sound files== | |||
We now have sound file upload supported (.ogg format). Just add them to your article using <nowiki>[[File:Whatevername.ogg]]</nowiki>. Please don't upload gigantic files though. I'd rather not have to limit it unnecessarily. | |||
==IRC== | ==IRC== | ||
We now have an IRC channel on the freenode network. IRC stands for ''Internet Relay Chat'' and allows instantaneous chatting (live!) with other people on Linguifex. | We now have an IRC channel on the freenode network.
