#### Highlights
- Added support for Ubuntu 24.04. Dropped support for Ubuntu 20.04.
- Added a configurable "Zulip updates" system that sends automated
messages describing changes to Zulip that are relevant to end
users. See the upgrade notes for details.
- Streams have been renamed to Channels. The functionality remains
exactly the same, and bots do not need to be updated.
- The All messages view has been renamed to Combined feed, and
its internals have been reworked, fixing many subtle bugs.
- To make reading more comfortable, Zulip has been redesigned with a
larger font size and line spacing. The previous configuration is
available via the "Compact mode" setting.
- The main message feed search feature has been redesigned with
user-friendly pills for search operators.
- When you paste content into the compose box, Zulip will now do its
best to preserve the formatting, including links, bulleted lists,
bold, italics, and more. Pasting as plain text remains an
alternative option, and the plain-text form is also placed into
browser undo history for convenient access.
- Clicking a channel in the left sidebar now, by default, navigates
you to the most recent topic in the channel, rather than the
interleaved channel feed view. This behavior is controlled by a new
setting.
- Added support for Ubuntu 24.04, and dropped support for Ubuntu 20.04.
- To make it easier to discover whats new in Zulip, important product changes
are now announced via automated messages, which are shipped with the Zulip
server version that includes the new feature. See the upgrade notes for
details.
- To better match terminology familiar from other apps, “streams” have been
renamed to “channels” across the app in this release. The functionality
remains exactly the same, and integrations do not need to be updated for this
transition.
- For clarity and consistency, three key message views that show multiple
conversations at once are now labeled “Combined feed” (previously “All
messages”), “Channel feed”, and “Direct message feed”.
- To make reading more comfortable, Zulip has been redesigned with a larger font
size and line spacing. Because personal preferences vary, the previous design
remains available via the compact mode setting.
- Redesigned the main search with pills for search filters, making it easier to
use.
- When you paste content into the compose box, Zulip will now do its best to
preserve the formatting, including links, bulleted lists, bold, italics, and
more. If you dont need the formatting, you can undo it with `Ctrl+Z`, or
paste as plain text.
- To make it easier to read your messages topic-by-topic, channel links in the
left sidebar now take you directly to the top topic in the channel. You can
configure them to go to the channel feed instead (previously the only option).
- To quote and reply to part of a message, you can now select the part
that you want to quote.
- The right sidebar has been redesigned to highlight users in the
current channel or direct message conversation. You can also now
hide the channel/user lists in the sidebars to reduce distraction.
- When you start composing, the most recently edited draft for the
conversation you are composing to now automatically appears in the
compose box. You can always save a draft and start a new message
using the send options menu next to the Send button.
- Added a new top-level view to show reactions to your messages, as
well as new search operators to search followed topics or messages
with emoji reactions.
- When you start composing, the most recently edited draft for the conversation
you are composing to now automatically appears in the compose box. You can
always save a draft for later and start a new message.
- Added a Reactions view to show how others have responded to your messages with
emoji reactions. You can also search all messages with reactions.
- If you'd prefer not to see notifications when others type, you can
now disable them.
- Topics and messages now load much faster when you open the web or

images, and image previews of third-party links, continue to
directly use the original image).
- Zulip's new-user and new-organization onboarding experiences have
been completely reworked.
- Redesigned all popovers with a more modern visual style, better
icons, and improved accessibility for screen readers.

when they first become relevant.

reader accessibility.

resolved. This operator is not used in 9.0, but likely will be used
