v2.9.8

What's new

Read-only channels — admins can now mark any text channel as read-only. Members without the new Read-Only Override role permission can still read and react, but the message input is hidden. Great for announcement channels. (#5231)

Read-Only Override role permission — grants specific roles the ability to post in read-only channels.

Server-relayed mic illumination — the speaking indicator now reflects what the server actually received rather than local mic detection. If your audio isn't reaching the server, the indicator won't light up.

Role permission row highlight — checking a permission in the role editor now lights up the entire row, making it easier to see which permissions are active at a glance.
