+# Lemmy v0.7.40 Pre-Release (2020-08-05)
+
+We've [added a lot](https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/compare/v0.7.40...v0.7.0) in this pre-release:
+
+- New post sorts `Active` (previously called hot), and `Hot`. Active shows posts with recent comments, hot shows highly ranked posts.
+- Customizeable site icon and banner, user icon and banner, and community icon and banner.
+- Added user preferred names / display names, bios, and cakedays.
+- User settings are now shared across browsers (a page refresh will pick up changes).
+- Visual / Audio captchas through the lemmy API.
+- Lots of UI prettiness.
+- Lots of bug fixes.
+- Lots of additional translations.
+- Lots of federation prepping / additions / refactors.
+
+This release removes the need for you to have a pictrs nginx route (the requests are now routed through lemmy directly). Follow the upgrade instructions below to replace your nginx with the new one.
