- [Feature] New "Newly Registered Users" group for assigning permissions to newly registered users. They will be removed from this group once they reach a defineable amount of posts.

- [Feature] Ability to define if the "Newly Registered Users" group will be assigned as the default group to newly registered users.

As a coincidence also Bug #46535 got fixed.
Additionally the error message displayed with trigger_error() if accessing the private message tab in the ucp is now displayed inline in addition to a slightly different message for newly registered users to let them know that access permissions may be lifted over time.
