Misago 0.13 has been released, bringing relatively hard to notice but welcome in the long run changes to ways that posts reads are tracked and handled by Misago's features. Beginning with Misago 0.13, forum's read tracker is post-accurate. This means that user mis-clicking "last" link will no longer erroneously flag all posts in thread as read. Instead, only last post will be marked as such, and all other posts will stay as unread, letting your users to keep better track of what they've read and what they've missed. This also provides more fair treatment for moderated messages, which will now show as unread to other users as they are approved by moderators.
Lastly post-level accuracy opens Misago for future improvements like marking posts as unread upon their edition or such.
