The most notable change in the Hubzilla 3.6 release is probably the refactoring of the various activity filter/order options. Basically we got rid of the network tabs and replaced the functionality with two new widgets in left aside - activity_order and activity_filter. The order widget takes care of the various order possibilities - by commented date (default), by posted date, by date unthreaded. The selected order is saved in the config and thus persistent.
The new filter widget displays all enabled filter options (privacy groups, personal posts, starred posts, forums etc.) in one widget. A new filter by contactname feature has been added and the notifications for unseen forum posts are now displayed in the notification widget. The privacy group management has been moved to the the panel chanel menu (your profile photo in the panel) and the management tool has been refactored.
The tags/mentions have been refactored and you will notice that the appearence of autofilled @mentions in the post editor look better readable now @{somechannel@somehub.org} instead of @channelname+365 before the change.
The cart addon has received major updates and has now support for paypal payments with automated fulfillment options (add buyer as contact, add buyer to privacy group and for admins only - change service class). A new gallery addon has been introduced to provide visitors of your channel a possibility to comfortably browse through your photo albums.

Other notable changes:

Webpage menus are now editable by visitors with webpage write permissions

Improve new channel creation workflow

Implement reset button for the post editor

Provide a general purpose GDPR document

Implement messagefilter for pubstream and sourced messages

Add supported federation protocols to siteinfo

Implement admin delete of files, photos and posts

@Max Kostikov I read your post with a translator, cool. One observation about the comments: content of ordinary items in hubzilla's database is not encrypted. It was in the past, but this didn't add much security since the keys must also be stored in the database, and it was stopping search from working properly, and lowering performance, among other things. Some content however remains ecnrypted, like private messages and chat, if I remember right.

@Alexandre Hannud Abdo yes, you are right about posts and comments. It makes no a lot of sense to encrypt messages and comments in the database.
Anyway, thank you and @kris for your attention and lets hope that we will gain more hubzillians from #russian speaking part of Internet.
