  As per MongoDB Lifecycle Schedules (mongodb.com/support-policy/lifecycles) we're removing official support to MongoDB version 4.2 that is close to reach end of life (April 2023).

• Announcement banner link opening in the same page (#27554)

  Channel Announcements that contain links are opening on the same page instead of a new page/tab causing render issues, especially on the desktop client.

  The fix was simple to add a hook for the dompurify library to add the target and rel attributes to keep the _blank behavior.

  Also, it introduced some parsers settings to inlineWithoutBreaks variant to avoid breaking messages at Announcements and other places that uses this variant.

• Anonymous user buttons (#27551)

  When the server accepts an anonymous user to join and chat without login, two buttons appears: one for Login and the other to send messages without login.

  The component was rewritten to use the fuselage Design System and native hooks to perform actions.

Because of the reported issue, I removed some actions that redirect the user to other pages such as: "Reply in Direct Message"

• Marketplace app status initially disabled (#27330)

  Jira task: MKP-20

  Currently, the only apps engine statuses considered enabled in the UI are the auto-enabled and manually-enabled statuses, this causes a UX problem in which the app will be considered disabled for the first few seconds of its lifecycle, upon the first installation in a workspace, since it will have the apps engine status of initialized. This PR adds the initialized status to the appEnabledStatuses list and solves this problem.

  Jira task: MKP-166

  Removed an unnecessary check that verified if the app permissions list was an array and threw an error if it wasn't. This check has become unnecessary ever since the app permission review modal changed to show a default list of permissions in case the app happened to not have one and that's what caused those "random" undefined toasts that showed every once in a while.
