Modern Theme
SocialEngine Self-Hosted 4.5 includes a new default them named “Modern”. We hope you guys think it’s nicer and more contemporary than the previous default theme, but let us know.
Performance Improvements
We know performance is an absolute priority for some of you so we’ve done our best to identify and improve on the bottlenecks we’ve found without creating any compatibility issues for third-party addons. Some of you should see page load speed improvements with SE Self-Hosted 4.5, depending on your server config, resource limits and usage levels. We’ll continue to focus on performance improvements with our next SE Self-Hosted release. Remember – if you’re having speed issues, please be sure that your site is in Production Mode (you can enable it from your admin panel homepage).
Let us know what you think about SE Self-Hosted 4.5. Happy community building!
