ImageMagick, Apache, MySQL, and a bunch of other really small things were updated as well:

Since the update, I've not been able to see the drop down menu items using either Chrome, Firefox or MS Edge. Everything else seems to work.   It's like the menu items are white on white coloring because I can still click on the white space and select different menu items even though I can't see the choice. 

Something on my end?

No, I hadn't noticed those, but they should be a dark green now.

You may need to clear your browser cache, but probably not… the new CSS files are usually pretty good about being marked as new files here on the site.

Also, thank you for pointing that out.

They are working fine this morning 8/7.
