Find out more... - SEO Improvements
General under the hood improvements. - More Robust Previews
All links within the previews, esp. for pagination, work now. - Spell Check Improvements
The spell check is performed by the browser now and works in-line. You should see little red zigzags underlining the misspelled words. If you "right click" on a PC or "control + click" on a mac, you can correct them. This is faster and more streamlined because the work is done locally in your browser rather than by a third party. - General Improvements and Bug Fixes
