Honeypot Trap 🐝
When your site starts attracting users, it attracts spammers! With the honeypot trap technique that is included in this release, it helps curb spam rates by up to 90% (We have run some tests on several sites).
New Twitch TV Integrations
As Twitch has introduced a new set of APIs, you will no longer be able to embed Twitch videos on your site unless you create an app on Twitch
Sidebar Placements
With this release, you can now configure the placement of the sidebar (either left or right) for the dashboard and profile pages.
PWA Theme Color (Progressive Web App)
At the back-end, you may now configure the theme color for your Progressive Web App for Android devices.
Search Filters
Prior to this release, filtering has been very useful when you only have a couple of dropdown items but when you have a whole list of filters to choose from, it becomes really tedious to search for a filter. In this release, we have simplified the operation by allowing you to search for a filter. 🙌

Apps Updated
Updating to EasySocial 3.2.14
Updating EasySocial is a pretty straight-forward procedure. You can update EasySocial using the single click updater in Joomla or the back end of EasySocial. Alternatively, you can also download the latest version from your dashboard and install it just like how you normally install any extension.
