• Correctly display mixed RTL and LTR text in profiles, PR#3328 by @nikclayton
  • Profile text that contained a mix of right-to-left and left-to-right writing directions would display incorrectly.
• Stop showing duplicates of edited posts in threads, PR#3377 by @Tak
  • Editing a post in thread view would show the old and new version of the post in the thread.
• Correct post length calculation, PR#3392 by @nikclayton
  • In a post that mentioned a user (e.g., @[email protected]) Tusky was incorrectly including the @mastodon.social part when calculating the post's length, leading to incorrect "This post is too long" errors.
