Hello Interwebs!

It is time for a code tour again, and I'm the fool that volunteered to do it! (I'm pretty sure the devs would almost prefer I didn't, because I have to ask so many questions, but it's kind of fun anyway. Part of the time, I even learn things!)

Our amazing devs have been hard at work to make things better for everyone, here are some of the recent/upcoming changes for your perusal!

( so many fixes! )

58 total issues resolved
Contributors: alierak, kareila, momijizukamori, rahaeli, all of whom are awesome.

And warmest of welcomes to new contributor cmho!!! Thank you for the fixes!

code push happening sometime this week

We're not sure yet exactly when, but sometime in the next few days, we'll do a code push!

You can see what's new in the code tour that was posted earlier today, but here are the highlights:

• Google Analytics v4 support
• adding the legacy RTE to the beta Create Entries page
• adding draft autosave to the beta Create Entries page
• more UI improvements for the beta Inbox
• some more aggressive measures for discouraging SEO spam accounts
• miscellaneous modernization updates for various journal styles
• many newly added sites for profile links, content embeds, and username styling
• new color picker for the journal style customization page
• new CSS wrappers to allow styling of entry cut links

alierak just pushed these changes to the canary server if you want to get a head start on checking out what's new! Feel free to leave a comment here if anything looks weird, or chat with us on our Discord server.
