Features

Post Locking

Frustrated when an update you just made to a post gets wiped out because someone else was editing at the same time? No more. Never have your changes overwritten with a smart post locking system that locks and unlocks multi-author posts during editing.

New in Nova 2.7

Word counting
Mission posts and personal logs will now count words in the content of the entry. This includes a counter on those fields as well as incorporating into sim stats for current and previous month as well as sim historical totals. You'll also notice reading time estimates when viewing a post or log.
Default skin refreshes
Nova's default skins (Pulsar and Titan) were starting to show their age and it was long-past time to give them a facelift. The goal was to make them feel more modern, but still retain their essence which has been around since Nova's first release.
PHP 8 compatability
With PHP 7 officially ending support recently, we've made big updates to ensure Nova 2 will work with PHP 8. This change also updates the minimum PHP version to 7.4 for version 2.7.
