AnsPress 4.1.2 is released with some exciting features and bug fixes.
We are thinking of improving the email notifications and adding push notifications but we needed an activity feed for that. So we have re-added activity feed which was removed from core because of performance issue. Now you can show activity feeds without sacrificing the site performance. At the moment, the activities given below are shown and more are coming soon.

From now on activities will not be stored in the ap_qameta table. In previous version of AnsPress, activity are stored in ap_qameta table as a serialized string and it was hard to search.
A modern and nice looking design was added for activities page. Screenshot of feed can be found below in screenshot section.
A new add-on was added to AnsPress for syntax highlighting. It will add a new button in the visual editor to add inline and block code. This add on uses a popular JS library for highlighting codes, visit project homepage for more information: SyntaxHighlighter.

As you may already know, AnsPress needed a WordPress page (base page) for rendering its content. Due to the complexity in customization, we have decided to use WP page for every AnsPress page.
Since its initial release, AnsPress was using a single page to present all its contents and which was producing many side-effects. Many third party plugins were not working well with the AnsPress. To fix this issue, we have decided to improve our template hierarchy.
In earlier versions of AnsPress, when there were too many comments, the user had to click the comment button repeatedly. In addition, the new comment form and editing form was not user friendly. In order to improve user experience we have moved comments to new modal interface. We have added PHP based comment form. Earlier it was generated using JS and people had issue overriding it. We added PHP based comment form. Earlier forms were generated using JS. While overriding people had to face problems. Apart from all this, we have significantly improved comment posting permissions.
