# Version History

All notable changes to the Zulip server are documented in this file.

### Unreleased

This section lists notable unreleased changes; it is generally updated
bursts.

Highlights:

- Added a new "incoming webhook" bot type, limited to only sending
  messages into Zulip, for better security.
- Dramatically improved the search typeahead experience when using
  multiple operators.
- Overhauled the emails sent by Zulip to be more consistent and
  readable.
- Added support for iOS mobile push notifications.
- Completely redesigned the /integrations and /apps pages to be
  more usable and more attractive.
- Redesigned several settings subpages to be visually cleaner.
- Redesigned the /help/ documentation site to have a nice sidebar
  index.
- Added support for outgoing webhooks.
- We're now recommending the new electron desktop app to everyone.
  Users should upgrade to the new desktop app; the legacy desktop app
  from 2014 doesn't support useful browser features like local
  storage and will be deprecated completely soon.
- Added a new API for fetching unread messages organized by topic to
  support the mobile apps.  The React Native app will likely start
  requiring Zulip 1.7 soon.  We don't intend to break app
  compatibility with older server versions often, but it makes sense
  in this case, since the new API is critical for providing a great
  mobile experience.

Release notes:

* There are some significant database migrations that will be in the
next release that can take several minutes to run.  These migrations
will be automatically run during the upgrade process, but before
user-facing downtime begins to avoid disruption.  However, if you'd
like to watch the downtime part of the upgrade process carefully, we
recommend
[running these migrations manually](expensive-migrations.html) before
starting the upgrade.
