Clovera Chat patch notes

Arrange Clovera your way

Drag your menus, the phone's bottom bar and your panels into the order you like. Community owners can now arrange their home pages too. The KittenAI chat and notifications have been redone.

Where: Settings → Appearance → Interface workshop

• New Interface workshop — Open it from the "Interface workshop" card under Settings → Appearance. On a small model of the app you can reorder the main menu, hide what you don't use and sort your Communities, Groups and DM lists. Put the sidebar and the channel list on the left or the right, and make the sidebar smart, always wide or always slim. Nothing changes until you save.
• New Your bottom bar on the phone — In the workshop's phone view you choose 3 to 5 tabs for the bottom bar, including search, your profile and KittenAI. The menu button always stays, because it opens the drawer.
• New Six ready-made layouts — If you don't want to tinker, the workshop has ready-made layouts: Classic, Chat first, Community hub, Plain, Mirror and Explorer. Tap one, the model rearranges itself, then change whatever you like.
• New Community home editor — Members who can manage a server get an "Arrange home page" button on the community home. Channels, events, forum topics and newest members move between two columns or hide, the side column goes left or right, and the numbers line and member faces can be switched off. There are five ready-made layouts: Classic, Event stage, Forum square, Channel guide and Neighbourhood.
• New Pick your ringtone — Choose it from the "Call ringtone" list under Settings → Preferences → Notifications & privacy. The Piano ringtone now has a Violin version of the same tune next to it. Listen to each one with the button beside it, then Save the one you like. It plays everywhere when someone calls you.
• Improved A new KittenAI chat — The boxes are gone and answers read as plain, comfortable text. A line above the message field tells you what KittenAI can see right now. It changes when you attach a conversation, and KittenAI cannot see any message you have not attached.
• Improved New notifications — Notifications are grouped into Today, Yesterday and earlier dates. Ones from people show their avatar with the kind of notification on its corner, and unread ones carry a dot. Actions such as open, accept and reject sit right in the row.
• Improved Everything shows what it means — The coloured stripes on the edges of cards are gone, replaced by marks that mean something. Pending friend requests get a dashed ring, live events a beating dot, quotes corner brackets and blog posts a folded page corner. The Tab name plate is now shaped like a luggage tag.
• Fixed Fixes — Older KittenAI messages now show their time in your own time zone. The "Remove" button no longer shows when no conversation is attached. Reply quotes in channels sit right above the message instead of in a dashed box in the middle.

More to wear

Profile items grow by twenty. The long stretches between levels with nothing new to unlock are gone, and some items can now only be earned by doing something, not by levelling.

• New Rewards all the way up — Five new name plates and five new textures fill the gaps between levels 4 and 46, and the Apogee ring waits at level 48. Name plates and textures used to stop at level 24 and 32; now there is still something to unlock past level 42.
• New Items you earn by doing — Seven items open with an achievement instead of a level: Warden (Guardian), Gearwork (Puppetmaster), Margin (Wordsmith), Tenure (Veteran), Murmur (Chatterbox), Bastion (Founder) and Weave (Social Butterfly). The wardrobe tells you which achievement opens each one, and they are yours the moment you earn it, whatever your level.
• New Two more free picks — The Tab name plate and the Pinhole texture are open to everyone from day one.

Catch Up tells you what you missed

“Catch me up” no longer lists who wrote to you. It tells you what was said, what is waiting for your answer and what actually matters.

• Fixed Catch Up reads the messages themselves — Communities and notifications only reached it as numbers, so the summary could say little more than “you have messages here and there”. It now reads your unread channel messages, and your group and private messages in the order they were sent, and tells you what was discussed, planned and decided.
• Improved What is waiting for you comes first — Questions put to you, messages that mention you, friend requests and changes to events lead the summary, and greetings and small talk are left out. A comment on your post or a moved event is no longer a count either, but a sentence saying what happened.

Quieter, faster, safer

Nothing new to learn. v6.1 closes a gap that let a hidden channel be read, stops every message from buzzing every member, finishes threads, and opens long conversations at once.

• Fixed Hidden channels stay hidden — A member hidden from a channel, or still waiting at a community's welcome gate, could follow it live and read every message as it was sent. The live connection now asks for the same permission the channel page does.
• Improved Notifications only where you can look — A message in a channel used to notify every member of the community, including people who could not even open that channel. Now only members who can see the channel hear about it, an @name only reaches people who are in it, and one message never sends you more than one notification.
• New Choose how much a community tells you — Every community has a Notifications choice at the bottom of its channel list: every message, mentions only, or nothing. Mentions only is the new default, so a busy community no longer rings your phone all day.
• Fixed Do Not Disturb means it — Do Not Disturb said notifications were paused and paused nothing. They now still land in your inbox, but your phone stays silent and nothing pops up until you change your status.
• Improved Phone notifications that make sense — They arrive in your language, say which group or channel they came from, no longer replace one another, and open the exact message, thread or post they are about. Nothing pops up for the conversation you already have open.
• New Threads, finished — The thread page now has reactions, editing, deleting, polls and attachments, and it updates live without reloading. Opening a thread clears its notifications, a mention inside a thread finally reaches the person, and Reply in a thread is there on phones and in the long-press menu.
• Improved Long conversations open at once — A DM, group or channel now opens on its latest fifty messages instead of its whole history. Scroll to the top for earlier ones and you stay where you were reading. A link to an older message loads back until it gets there, and pinned messages and reply quotes stay in place.
• Fixed The offline outbox belongs to you — A message written offline is tied to your account and is never sent under another one on the same device. If your session has expired or the server is busy, it is kept and tried again instead of being lost, and you are told if one is refused.
• Fixed Badges you can clear — Unread badges no longer count thread replies, your own messages or channels you cannot open, so a badge you have read always goes away.

Search, Communities, Offline & Live Captions

The largest release Clovera has had. It can find what you have already read, it keeps working with the connection gone, communities got a door, a mirror and somewhere for a side conversation to go, and the voice room finally speaks every language sitting in it.

• New Search — One box over everything you can already open: community and group messages, forum threads, public posts and blogs, people, communities and channels. A channel a role hides stays hidden here too. Direct messages are searched without ever being indexed — they are decrypted for your search alone, while you search.
• New Discover, ranked — Communities are no longer listed newest-first. They are ranked on activity, members, how fast they are growing, how new they are, how many of their members read Clovera in your language, and how many of your contacts are already inside. Communities carry up to five tags now, and Discover has a tag bar built from what they actually use.
• New It works offline — Pages you have opened stay readable when the connection goes, and a message you write while offline waits in an outbox and sends itself when you are back, instead of vanishing from the box.
• New Cameras in voice rooms — Up to eight people can turn on a camera at once, each in its own tile, carried on the same relay as the voice. Who may switch one on is a room setting of its own: everyone, moderators only, or nobody.
• Improved The interface, in your language — Eight of the ten languages were missing roughly a third of the interface and falling back to English. That gap is being closed, and a new check makes a release fail rather than widen it again.
• New A welcome gate — A community can hold new members at a welcome screen: read the rules, agree to them, then pick your own tags from a grid instead of waiting for an admin to hand them out. Owners can ask for a minimum account age or activity level, and those are checked at the door rather than after. The rules are written once in your language and every member reads them in theirs.
• New An insights panel — Owners can finally see their own community: who arrived and who left day by day, how many of this month's newcomers are still here, which channels are alive and which have been silent for a fortnight, what hours the place is awake, and which invite links bring people who stay rather than people who click. KittenAI will read the figures back to you in a few sentences, and it is given nothing but the figures.
• New Threads — Any message in a text or announcement channel can open a thread. The side conversation lives in the thread instead of flooding the channel, carries its own unread mark, and is searchable, moderated and translated like everything else.
• New Live captions in voice rooms — What is said in a voice room is written down and appears in the room, and everyone reads it in their own language: someone speaks Turkish, the member from Osaka reads Japanese. The transcript sits under the room like an interview page — the speaker's name in the margin, the newest line the bright one — and when a line was translated for you, the language it was spoken in is written beside the name. If you arrive halfway through you can read what you missed.
• New Off until the room turns it on — Captions are off in every room until someone who can configure it switches them on, because turning them on means speech is sent to be written down, and the room is told so plainly. Turning them off again deletes what the room said. Nothing is kept beyond six hours, a held seat is as silent in the captions as it is on the microphone, and erasing your account takes your lines with it.
• Improved The room is captioned once, not once per person — The transcript and every language the room needs come back from a single request, and the room is only asked for the languages actually in it. A ten-person room costs what a two-person room costs.

Voice rooms you can rely on

A shared screen no longer turns black, a voice you could not hear now comes through, and muting someone leaves the room looking right.

• Fixed The shared screen is never black again — The picture used to travel straight from the presenter to each viewer, which needed a route through your network that often was not there, and the viewer was left staring at a black frame. It now goes through the same server your voice already goes through, so it works on any network, shows up within a couple of seconds, and its sound comes with it. Deafening silences the screen along with everyone else.
• Fixed A screen stays smooth while its presenter talks — Speaking while sharing slowed the picture to about one frame a second, and switching to the window you were sharing slowed it again. Both are gone: the screen keeps its full rate whether you are talking, quiet, or looking at another window.
• Fixed A voice you could not hear — The first moments of someone's speech were dropped while the room was still setting up, a tab left in the background quietly lost its connection, and a microphone the system had silenced looked fine while sending nothing. The first frames are now kept, a background tab keeps its seat and its connection, a silent microphone is picked up again on its own, and the key that turns audio on appears the moment it is needed.
• Fixed Muting someone no longer disturbs the room — The seats were redrawn every few seconds, which pulled the mute key out from under your pointer just as you reached it. Seats now change only where something changed, the mute key is always there on a phone, a double tap cannot send the same mute twice, and undeafening gives you back the microphone state you had before.
• Fixed A fix reaches every browser at once — The voice room's scripts could stay cached for up to twelve hours after a release, so for a while some people ran the new version and some the old one, and the room behaved differently from one person to the next. Every release now reaches every browser on the next page load.

Blogs that remember

KittenAI can now rewrite your post — with your approval — every save is kept as a version you can go back to, and a draft no longer dies with the tab.

• New KittenAI rewrites, you approve — Ask it to shorten your intro, fix the spelling or change the title and it hands back the rewritten post instead of describing it. You see the new title and a line-by-line diff of the body first; nothing reaches your draft until you press Apply, and discarding leaves it exactly as it was.
• New Versions — Every save keeps the text it replaced. The blog page has a Versions panel with the last ten, each showing when it was saved, whether the body was written by you or by KittenAI, and what going back would bring. Restoring keeps the current text as a version too, so it is undoable.
• New Your draft waits for you — The new post page keeps what you type on your own device as you write. Close the tab, lose the browser, come back tomorrow — it offers the draft back with the time you left it. Nothing is sent anywhere and nothing is restored unless you ask.
• Fixed A rejected post no longer takes your writing with it — A title one character too long used to send you back to an empty editor and delete everything you had written under it. The page now comes back with your text still in it.

Communities come alive

A community can now say when it is meeting, spell things in its own pictures, and show a screen in a voice room.

• New Events — Schedule what your community is doing and when, point it at a voice channel or anywhere else, and see who is coming. Times are stored once and shown in every member's own clock.
• New I'm going — One tap says you'll be there, or that you're interested. Everyone who answers gets a reminder fifteen minutes before it starts, and is told if it moves or is called off.
• New Community emoji — Upload up to 30 pictures your members can type by name. Written as :name:, they appear in that community's channels and in the picker beside the Clojis.
• New Screen sharing — Show your screen in a voice channel. Voice still goes through Clovera; the screen goes straight from you to the people watching, one presenter at a time.
• Improved Manage events — A new role permission, so a community can hand the calendar to someone without handing over the whole server.
• Fixed Notifications that arrive when Clovera is closed — Push notifications never actually left the server: the key they are signed with was stored in a format the sending library cannot read, so every one of them failed in the key parser before it reached anyone. That is fixed, the key no longer changes when the server restarts, a device whose subscription went stale repairs itself the next time you open Clovera, and Settings has a button that sends you a real notification so you can see for yourself.
• Improved Notifications that name the sender — A notification used to say "New notification" and open your inbox. It now says who it was from and what they did, carries their avatar, and opens the conversation itself. The Windows app gets the most out of this: it sits in your tray and receives messages the moment they arrive, so it never needed browser push — and the same message is no longer announced twice when Clovera is open in a browser tab.
• New Notifications on from the start, and news when there is some — You no longer have to go and find a switch: Clovera asks once and turns notifications on there and then. And when a new version ships, you get told — the release lands in your notifications with a link straight to what changed.

You can see it land

Badges and levels no longer arrive in silence: every unlock is celebrated on screen.

• New Badge fanfare — A new badge or achievement opens a glowing card in the middle of the screen: turning rays, sparks, the badge's name and how you earned it. Tap the card to send it away, or let it go on its own.
• New The level-up card — Levelling up shows the same card with the level you reached, plus a link straight to the theme picker when that level unlocked one. Unlocks that land together are played one after another.
• Improved Milestones only, not every move — Plain XP stays quiet — it arrives on nearly every action, so celebrating it would fill the screen. The card is reserved for badges, achievements and levels, and it no longer waits for a page reload. With reduced motion on, the animations fall back to a plain card.

Twenty rings

The ring slot doubles: eight rings open to everyone, eleven more to earn, and no long stretch of levels without one in sight.

• New Eight free rings — Dusk, Frost, Clay and Lattice join Halo, Dawn, Tide and Stipple — one free ring per base theme, so a brand-new account can already put a look together.
• New Six more level rewards — Kindle at level 1, Quill at 5, Coral at 12, Nocturne at 21, Solaris at 31 and Zenith at 42. Zenith sits at the top of the ladder and is the only ring that moves.
• Improved A ladder with no dead stretches — Rings now arrive at least every six levels, all the way to 42 — the old gaps between 16 and 36 are gone. Every ring you already own keeps its place, and nothing you are wearing changes.

Your profile, your way

The biggest profile update Clovera has shipped: collectable items to wear, a living Kampfire ember, a layout you arrange block by block, and sections you write yourself.

• New Profile items — A wardrobe of rings, nameplates and textures. Some are open to everyone, the rest unlock as your activity level climbs — and whatever you equip follows you everywhere on Clovera.
• New Kampfire ember — With no ring equipped, a living ember glows around your avatar instead. It brightens as you take part and cools when you go quiet — nobody can buy it, grant it, or fake it.
• New Profile layout editor — Arrange your page: two columns, block order, banner height, avatar position — and every block can be hidden, narrowed, aligned, or pinned at a tilt. With a live preview while you edit.
• New Profile blocks — Write your own sections: a free-text panel, a list of links, or a pinned post. Everything passes KittenMOD, the same moderation every post passes.
• Improved Items travel with you — Avatars across chats, feeds, forums and member lists now carry their owner's ring and nameplate — your look is yours on every screen, not just your profile.

Themes

Clovera comes in eighteen looks now — eight open to everyone, ten more you unlock by staying active.

• New Themes for everyone — Eight looks are open to every account from day one: Clovera, Fern, Amber, Orchid, Vela, Myrrh, Quartz and Noct. Each one repaints the whole app — background, surfaces, text, borders and buttons. Pick yours under Settings.
• New Level rewards — Ten more themes unlock as your activity level climbs, from Slate at level 2 through to Vesper at 42. Locked ones stay visible in the picker so you can see what's coming and how much XP is left.
• Improved Level-up notice — The level-up toast now names any theme you just earned and links straight to the picker.

Bots & KittenAI

Communities get their own helpers: build no-code bots in Clovera Creator, and let KittenAI answer right where you mention it.

• New Clovera Creator — A dedicated space to build your own bots with no code — pick a trigger (a member joins, a keyword, a command, a mention, a schedule or a reaction) and chain up to five actions like sending messages, DMs or handing out roles. Each bot is its own account with its own avatar.
• New KittenAI mentions — Mention @kittenai in a post comment, blog comment, server channel or group chat and it replies inline; open a direct chat with it and it answers every message. Server owners can toggle it per community.
• New Channel reactions — React to channel messages with quick emoji — and bots can respond when a reaction is added.
• New Puppetmaster — A new achievement for bringing your first bot to life in Clovera Creator.
• Improved Fairer limits — Every account can own up to 10 communities and create up to 2 bots for now.

Communities & Roles

The biggest community update yet — a real role hierarchy, per-channel permissions, categories, richer mentions, and stronger moderation so a whole community can move in and feel at home.

• New Role hierarchy — Drag roles up or down to set who outranks whom. Members can only manage roles and moderate members below their own top role.
• New Multiple roles per member — A member can now hold any number of roles; their permissions stack, and each role can carry its own colour, icon, hoist, and @-mention setting.
• New Channel categories — Group channels into named, collapsible sections in the sidebar to keep busy servers tidy.
• New Channel permissions — Override per role who can view a channel, send messages, or open threads — hidden channels simply disappear for those without access.
• New Role, @everyone & @here mentions — Ping an entire role, @everyone, or the online @here to reach members instantly, with permission checks so only the right people can broadcast.
• New Auto-roles & timed timeouts — Give new members a role automatically the moment they join, and mute with a timer that lifts itself when it expires.
• Improved KittenMOD — Content moderation is now KittenMOD, with a new community word filter that blocks unwanted words alongside the existing AI checks.

Catch-Up & Kampfire

Open the app and know everything in ten seconds — and see at a glance which conversations are burning hot.

• New Catch-Up — One tap on the feed and KittenAI tells you what you missed across DMs, groups, and servers — questions aimed at you first.
• New Kampfire — Active servers, channels, and groups now carry a flame that grows with the conversation and dies out after 24 quiet hours.
• New Why Clovera, in One Sentence — The home page now answers the only question that matters: encrypted messages, no language barrier, and AI that keeps you caught up.

Live Translation — chat without language barriers

Everyone writes in their own language, everyone reads in their own. Clovera now translates conversations for you, live.

• New Live Translation — Turn it on once and incoming DM, group, and channel messages are automatically translated into your language by KittenAI.
• New Original Always in Reach — Every translated message keeps its original text one tap away, so nothing is ever lost in translation.
• New Private by Design — Translations are cached with the same application-layer encryption as your messages and are never re-sent to the AI once stored.

Photos & Videos in Posts

Bring your posts to life — you can now attach photos and video clips to what you share in the feed, with or without text.

• New Photo Posts — Attach a photo (PNG, JPG, GIF, or WebP) to any feed post, right from the composer — with or without a caption.
• New Video Posts — Share short video clips (MP4, WebM, or MOV) up to 20 MB. They play right in the feed with built-in controls.
• New Smart Photo Moderation — KittenAI reviews attached photos and only blocks clearly unsafe images — anything ambiguous is allowed through.

Moderation, Messaging & Achievements

A major update packed with moderation tools, messaging upgrades, and achievement badges — giving communities more control, better organisation, and new ways to engage.

• New Kick — Remove a member from the community instantly. They can rejoin if the community is public or with an invite.
• New Ban — Permanently block a member from the community. Banned members cannot rejoin even with an invite link. Moderators can revoke bans at any time from the Bans tab.
• New Mute — Silence a member — they can still read channels but cannot send messages. Unmute them at any time from the Members tab.
• New Pinned Messages — Pin important messages in DMs, group chats, and community channels so they stay easy to find.
• New Scheduled Messages — Write a message now, send it later. Schedule DMs, group chats, and channel messages up to weeks in advance.
• New Message Forwarding — Forward any message to a direct message or community channel with one click.
• New Unread Badges — See unread message counts on channels and communities so you never miss a conversation.
• New Channel Slow Mode — Moderators can set a cooldown on channels so members must wait before sending the next message.
• New Server Audit Log — A full record of moderation actions — kicks, bans, mutes, channel changes — visible to server admins.
• New Achievement Badges — Earn milestone badges on your profile — first message, 100 messages, server founder, moderator, 30-day veteran, and more.

Activity Rewards & Profile Badges

Get rewarded for being active on Clovera — your posts, messages and reactions earn levels, and reaching new levels unlocks badges shown on your profile.

• New Activity badges — Earn XP from posts, blogs, channel/DM/group messages and reactions; your total XP sets your activity level. Seven tiers from Spark to Diamond — each with its own colour and effects — unlock on your account and appear on your profile alongside a level progress bar.
• New Level-up cue — When you reach a new level, a subtle, tasteful notification slides in with your newly unlocked badge — understated, without turning the platform into a game.
• Improved Fair progression — A daily XP cap, no XP for reacting to your own content, and levels always derived from earned XP keep badges something you genuinely earn. Higher tiers are deliberately harder to reach.

Blog Editing, Comments & Markdown

Blogs grew up — edit published posts, let readers comment, and write with Markdown formatting and a live preview.

• New Edit your posts — Revise a blog post's title, content, and topic at any time from an inline editor on the post page. Edited posts show a subtle "edited" label.
• New Reader comments — Readers can leave comments on published blog posts. You can moderate the discussion on your own posts, and admins can remove any comment.
• Improved Markdown & live preview — Write posts with Markdown — headings, lists, quotes, code blocks and tables — and switch to a Preview tab to see exactly how it will look before saving.

Replies & Polls

Quote and reply to any message, and gather opinions with interactive polls in groups and channels.

• New Message replies — Reply to any direct, group, or channel message. The original is quoted above your reply and links straight back to it, so conversations are easy to follow.
• New Polls — Create polls in group chats and server channels. Vote with a tap, watch results update live, allow single or multiple choices, and close the poll whenever you're done.

Mobile Usability Improvements

Clovera is much smoother on phones now: a bottom navigation bar, a long-press message menu, and a smarter composer.

• New Mobile bottom navigation bar — A fixed tab bar at the bottom of the screen on phones — Feed, Communities, Notifications, Profile and a menu, all reachable one-handed. The active tab is highlighted and unread notifications show live on the badge.
• New Long-press message menu — Long-press a message (mobile) or right-click it (desktop) to react, copy, edit or delete. Actions that used to need a mouse hover are now usable on touch devices too.
• Improved Smarter composer — The message box auto-grows as you type; Enter sends, Shift+Enter adds a new line. On notched phones the keyboard and input no longer overlap.

Message Reactions & Typing Indicator

React to direct messages with Clovera's own Cloji emoji set and see when the other person is typing.

• New Cloji message reactions — React to any direct message with one of Clovera's branded Cloji emojis — heart, laugh, fire, and more. Reactions update live for both sides.
• New Typing indicator — See a live “is typing…” indicator in direct messages so you know when the other person is replying.

Group Chats

Clovera now supports encrypted group conversations. Create a group from your contacts and chat, share files, and send voice messages together.

• New Encrypted group chats — Start a group conversation with up to 10 people from your contacts. Messages, files, and voice recordings are protected with the same encryption used in direct messages.
• New Group management — Group owners can rename the group and add or remove members at any time. If the owner leaves, ownership is automatically handed to the longest-standing member.
• New Live updates & notifications — Groups appear in your sidebar with unread badges, update in real time, send push notifications, and KittenAI can summarize the conversation for you.

Correction: Since 14 September 2026 group messages are no longer encrypted at rest; they are stored in plain text so that a report about one can be acted on. Direct messages remain encrypted. This entry describes the release as it was at the time. See Section 8 of the Privacy Policy.

Push Notifications & AI Usage

You can now receive notifications outside the app, and track your daily KittenAI usage directly from Settings.

• New Browser push notifications — Enable browser notifications from Settings to get alerted about direct messages, mentions, and friend requests even when Clovera is not open.
• New KittenAI usage tracker — A new card in Settings shows how many of your 30 daily KittenAI requests you've used and when the quota resets.

Presence fixes & deeper customization

Your online status is now visible to everyone, plus new ways to personalize your profile and servers.

• Fixed Online status visibility — Fixed an issue where others saw you as offline even while you were active — presence now refreshes reliably for everyone.
• New Profile customization — Set pronouns, a custom status message, and a personal accent color.
• New Notification & privacy preferences — Toggle DM, mention, and server notifications, and control whether you send read receipts.
• New Server welcome & accent — Server managers can add a welcome message banner and choose an accent color for their server.

Privacy & Safety

More control over who can reach you, plus stronger defenses against spam and fake accounts.

• New Direct message privacy — You now decide who can start a conversation with you. In Settings, choose to receive direct messages from everyone, only people who follow you, or only friends. Blocked users stay blocked, and conversations you've already started keep working.
• Improved Stronger protection against fake accounts — We've tightened sign-ups to curb spam and accounts created in bulk, keeping the community more genuine.

Blog Posts

Users can now write long-form blog posts alongside their regular feed activity. Blogs live on your profile, appear in the Feed with a distinct card, and come with a built-in KittenAI writing assistant.

• New Blog posts on profiles — Write blog posts with a title, up to 5,000 characters of content, an optional topic, and draft or publish control. Access them from a new Blogs tab on every user profile.
• New Feed integration with view filter — Blog posts appear in the Feed alongside regular posts, marked with a Blog badge and a short excerpt. Switch between All, Posts, and Blogs using the new view selector. The filter is reflected in the URL and works alongside topic filters.
• New KittenAI blog writing assistant — A live chat panel sits beside the blog editor. Ask KittenAI for title ideas, paragraph improvements, or writing feedback. Your current draft is automatically shared as context with every message.

User Mentions

You can now tag other users with @ in posts, comments, and community channels.

• New @ Mention autocomplete — Type @ in any text field to see a live suggestion list. Use the arrow keys or mouse to select.
• New Mention notifications — Tagged users receive a notification linking back to the post or message.
• New Clickable @username links — @username mentions in posts, comments, channel messages, and forum threads are rendered as clickable profile links.

Patch Notes & What's New Section

This update introduces a publicly accessible Patch Notes page so every visitor — logged in or not — can follow Clovera's development.

• New Patch Notes page — Accessible at /patch-notes for all visitors. Browse the full release history in one place.
• New Patch Notes icon — A custom SVG icon drawn in Clovera's purple-gradient style, consistent with the rest of the icon set.
• New Footer & sidebar link — Quick access from every page via the footer and the mobile sidebar.

Custom Emojis

This update adds a set of 20 custom SVG emojis that bring personality to messages, channels, and posts.

• New 20 custom emojis — cat, clap, cool, crown, cry, eyes, fire, gem, ghost, heart, love, petal, rage, rocket, sleep, smile, star, think, wave, wink — all drawn in the Clovera style.
• New Emoji picker — Add emojis with one click in DMs, channel messages, and posts.
• New Inline emoji rendering — The :emoji_name: syntax is automatically converted to an SVG image.
