## New diagrams in 8.4
With version 8.4 class diagrams have got some new features, bug fixes and documentation. Another new feature in 8.4 is the new diagram type, state diagrams.
![Image show the two new diagram types](.docs/img/new-diagrams.png)
## Special note regarding version 8.2
In version 8.2 a security improvement was introduced. A securityLevel configuration was introduced which sets the level of trust to be used on the parsed diagrams.
- **true**: (default) tags in text are encoded, click functionality is disabled
- false: tags in text are allowed, click functionality is enabled
Closed issues:
⚠️ **Note** : This changes the default behaviour of mermaid so that after upgrade to 8.2, if the securityLevel is not configured, tags in flowcharts are encoded as tags and clicking is prohibited.
If your application is taking resposibility for the diagram source security you can set the securityLevel accordingly. By doing this clicks and tags are again allowed.
```javascript
mermaidAPI.initialize({
securityLevel: 'loose'
});
```
