The ability to add styling and “open in new tab” behavior to links from the rich text editor

Visual changes 

Release 3.17.0 includes visual changes that may affect content on existing sites. These changes are described below, with before/after examples.

Hyperlinks with long link text now wrap within narrow displays 

This change affects sites using The Forty Acres theme or a sub-theme of Forty Acres. It is possible this change will affect how content stacks vertically, either when viewed on small screens or when the link is present in a narrow column on the page. In all instances, this change should improve readability of content and prevent an unusual horizontal scroll bar from appearing.

Pages with a parent in the main menu will show the parent as “active”

This change affects sites using The Forty Acres theme or a sub-theme of Forty Acres. Sites using other themes can leverage this underlying functionality by supplying CSS styling for the .active menu item class.
