Video Embedding
When an end user pastes a link to a video from a known video source (e.g., YouTube or Vimeo) within a post, the video will automatically be embedded. Previously, these would only provide a link to the video. Known sources include all the types supported by the video BBCode. This change is not retroactive and will only apply to new content.Video Tab
A Videos tab has been added to the Channel Display module. This tab will display all posts with the Video/Link Content type. This will make these posts easier to discover. This tab will appear automatically on channels with unmodified module settings. Administrators can also control the appearance of this tab by editing the Channel Display module using Site Builder.Trending Topics Digest
End users can subscribe to an email digest of trending topics on their notifications tab. The appearance of this email is similar to the pre-existing daily and weekly email digests. Administrators can specify the number of posts included in this digest in the AdminCP under Settings → Options → Message Searching. Update the Trending Digest Size option.Email Subscribers
When sending bulk email to users from the AdminCP, Administrators can now search for Paid Subscriptions and their status. You can filter based on a specific subscription, all subscriptions, active subscriptions, or completed subscriptions.Legacy Calendar Tables Removed
The legacy Calendar and Event tables from vBulletin 3.X and 4.X will be removed from your database on upgrade. If you feel this older data may be important, you will need to create backups of it. This data is considered deprecated, and the functionality has been superseded by the Event content type, Holiday Manager, and Calendar modules in vBulletin 6.Other Issues
