  Looks like you last updated your forum about 2 weeks ago. The Discourse team merges new stuff often several times a day, so often you only use the truly latest version for a short time after updating.

  The smiley telling you that you are up to date doesn’t reference each single commit. Then it would be unhappy all the time. It checks the version number telling you to update each time that is increased. Security updates are usually merged right before that happens. It’s the time where you should update to get them and sort of a reminder to update once a month even if there were none.

  But if you want to test a brand new announced feature, you often need to update - even though the smiley is happy - because the version number hasn’t changed yet.

  These are all the commits that were merged since you updated your forum Changelog | Discourse releases | d55ea4fd0f → latest
  The upcoming change for unified new view is quite at the top of that list, so it’s brand new.
