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

[personal profile] 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.

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)
