code push happening sometime this week

[karzilla]

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.

Ha, I've already seen an error that reads:

( Error: Irreparable invalid markup in entry. Raw contents behind the cut. )

Not sure if it's somehow related.

I don't think we made any changes this round that would affect what's considered invalid markup... that's the error that gets displayed when someone has posted an entry that can't be rendered by our HTML cleaner.

You must be right. I thought I should mention it as I turned on canary for a time, but that doesn't seem to effect the issue. I haven't seen anything else, so it looks like it should be a good push. [ fingers crossed ]

[kareila]

Thanks for helping to test things out! :)

[thistleingrey]

Yay, thank you all very much!

Ooooh really excited!! Can't wait to see the changes to the beta new entry page, that seems like a big deal.

It's mostly bringing it up to feature parity with the old one, so we can nuke the old one and then work on improving the new one instead of having to support changes across both (like the old RTE is awful but not having any RTE in the new page is why it's been in beta for literal years now)

[vriddy]

That was my understanding, so it's super cool to see this happening!! Good luck and thanks for all the good work :D

[karzilla]

I've passed that along! Thanks for the feedback :)
