Hearts
Hearts on comments and game reviews now update live for everyone on the page. A new heart flashes the button red and floats a little heart off it.
You now get a notification when someone hearts your comment or game review. More hearts while it's unread fold into one notification with some new tech, "Fluxflashor and 3 others hearted your comment".
Turn it off or on under Account Management -> Notifications -> Hearts. It's on for the site by default and off for push.
Mobile
On mobile devices, the header now has Messages, Notifications, and Account buttons. Each one opens a drawer from the bottom of the screen with your recent conversations, your latest notifications, or your account links. Swipe down or tap outside to close it.
Realms
The Join button in realm headers is fixed. The member count now updates as soon as you join or leave, and the button works on every page with a realm header.
At the bottom of a thread, clicking the Join the Conversation box now opens the reply box right there, ready to type. You no longer have to scroll up to find it.
Gifts
The gifts page now lists the newest gifts first.
Claim Gift on the gifts page now gives you the gift right away, the same as on the homepage.
Shop
Items you can buy more than once now have a "How many" picker, so you can buy several in one go. The price updates to show the total.
Pop-up Messages
The old bright yellow and green message boxes are gone. Every pop-up message now uses the site's newer toast, which stays in the corner of your screen (along the bottom on phones) instead of hilariously showing up at the bottom of the page. Oops.
The same message no longer stacks up twice, and trick-or-treating can't knock on the same door twice from one tap.
Toasts also can now show an icon, like the item's art when you sell something in Sidequest. =)
Achievements
Getting Started can be earned again. One of its criteria needed a forum signature, which you can't set anymore so that criteria was removed.
Hearthstone
Black Empire class deck guides are live, with top streamer decks from launch week.
Our card renderer no longer requires myself to run so patch imports are even faster now!
And it's a lot easier for us to re-render cards that are broken or missing things.
The deck builder no longer offers placeholder cards once their set is out.
Sidequest
Health and Energy Bars are now taller on the Micro Menu to provide room for larger text.
There is now a currency row on the Micro Menu.
Workshops can now be picked from the Professions Micro Menu.
More details on the dedicated Sidequest Update thread.
