Summary of changes from April 1, 2015 to April 25, 2015.
Communication
=======
- Going forward, the changelog is moving to weekly updates. This is primarily to synchronize it with weekly upgrades to the Phacility cluster. This will be the last monthly changelog.
- A new [[ Starmap ]] document is available, describing some of our long-term goals.
- A new [[ Prioritization ]] document is available, describing how you can pay us to get features you're interested in built sooner.
General
=======
- Inline comments in Differential now port forward and backward across diff updates, so you can see older inlines when looking at a newer diff.
- Mail commands (like `!claim` for tasks) have been rewritten to be more powerful. See "Email Commands" in the Help menu to learn about supported commands in each application.
- Conpherence is undergoing significant ongoing changes to support rooms, see T7565 for details and discussion.
- Typeaheads now have a "Browse" mode, accessible by clicking the button on the right side of the typeahead.
- Many typeaheads now support selector functions, like `viewer()`, which offer more powerful ways to write queries.
- Global search now has a "scope selector" which allows you to choose which types of documents to search.
Upgrading

Security
========
