This is @sox's latest improvement to live comments. Now when you're viewing a thread comments will just appear rather than requiring you click to show. It's kind of like google docs for threads.

It does some really clever stuff to not cause the page shift around, but it might not do it perfectly in all situations. So please mention us when it pisses you off, so we can adjust it. It's a moderately novel thing, to have trees of content update like a chat, so we didn't want to make too many assumptions and will rely on feedback to minimize frustrations with it.

Expect further improvements to this too. Our plan is to reuse this code for DMs (tree-Ms) before too long.

There were also some other bug fixes that went live after the last release over the last few weeks, but nothing really of note.
