Features

• Added support for static AVIF images allowing for lightweight high-quality images.
  • Note: animated avif are not supported due to our library still not supporting it (and that one is also an upstream issue https://github.com/libvips/libvips/issues/3629)
• Site now supports semver 2.0 versions.
• Added "Like Date" sorting to mods in the liked mods page.
• Added a way to change whether to show time as relative in some places.
• Added the ability to ignore games and mods, making mods not appear on the home page.
• Added support for Boosty.to for donations.
• Added repository URL for mods.
• Added initial audit log for moderators.

Changes

• Search has been improved with full text search support, stemming, word distance and similarity, allowing you to find mods more easily.
• Comments on places that you don't control (not your thread/mod) can now be edited only for 30 minutes. This is done as a precaution against bots and rule breaks.
• Spam check for new users is now checked in additional places such as comments and mods as precaution against bots.
• Fixed appeal forum link on suspension notice.
• Update to the API:
  • https://api.modworkshop.net/mods/123/files/latest returns the latest non-beta file.
    If semver isn't used, it will return the latest file based on order and then based on the update date.
    It is recommended to use semver for consistency sake, otherwise use order as much as possible (The higher the order, the "newer" the file is).
    If you wish to get prereleases (only semver supported!) include the ?prerelease=1 param.
• Changed default sort to last updated.
• Some fixes for user color not properly working.
• Fixed center and spoiler block not working properly in some cases.
• Fixed primary download getting cleared sometimes.
• Fixed mini profile not showing up sometimes.
• Fixed odd permission issue where some game admins couldn't access admin page.
• Moved theme option to a new customize menu. Added the option also on footer near color and language selectors.
• Upgraded to Nuxt 4.

Design changes

• Changed the look of games to only display their mod count and thumbnail. Usually, the title is on the thumbnail itself / Game is recognizable.
• Multiple changes in game, mod, thread and user (report button is now tucked in a dropdown btw).
• Changed the look of grid mods a bit.
• Changed the look of list threads a bit.
• Tags are colored in both text and background, sorta like in GitHub issues. Making them a bit more readable.
• Added a slight shadow in some places.
