Add December 2021 release notes
  • ## November 2021
  • - Flag escalation for moderators
  • - Admins can delete tags
  • - Only show profile field for SE account if the community has imported posts ([more info about these](https://meta.codidact.com/posts/284886))
  • - Tag descriptions on hover
  • ## October 2021
  • - [Reactions](https://meta.codidact.com/posts/284455)
  • - (probably other things)
  • ## August 2021
  • - [Vote summary](https://meta.codidact.com/posts/283610) (votes received, by day by post)
  • - Search now supports "user", "category", and "post_type" filters
  • - Threaded comments:
  • - notifications are less noisy
  • - more markdown support (code blocks in particular)
  • - auto-delete the thread if there are no more undeleted comments
  • - Small display improvements:
  • - length limits for posts/titles
  • - post list now shows author along with last-activity info
  • - sorting answers by activity now actually sorts by activity (not age) like it says on the tin
  • - Answer links didn't used to work right if the question had more than one page of answers and the answer wasn't on the first page. Now the link takes you to the answer (by displaying that answer first, out of order). Also improved the URL format for answer links (maintaining backward-compatibility).
