Bugs fixed: | ||
- Fixed Heap analytics integration after their breaking change | ||
**New features** | ||
- Added [example folders](https://blot.im/examples/folders) to the documentation. These are complete sites, combining a template with posts and pages. My favorite is [Sergey](https://blot.im/examples/folders/sergey), a photography site which presents color photographs of the Russian empire from the early twentieth century. | ||
- You can now specify [metadata](https://blot.im/how/posts/metadata) in [Google Docs](https://blot.im/how/posts/google-docs) and [org files](https://blot.im/how/posts/org). | ||
|
||
We are considering switching to blot.site as our primary domain | ||
- announce in spring newsletter, aim to switch in summer | ||
**Changes** | ||
- The thumbnail generator will no longer prioritize video embeds over embedded images within the same post. | ||
- *Slug* metadata is no longer an alias of *Link*, instead it is used as part of [your link format](https://blot.im/how/configure/link-format). | ||
- You can now include pages in your site's search index using [*Search* metadata](https://blot.im/how/posts/metadata#search). | ||
- We updated Blot’s dependencies to patch known security vulnerabilities and made changes to the dashboard and documentation, per tradition. | ||
|
||
**Bugs fixed** | ||
- Fixed [Heap analytics](https://blot.im/how/configure/analytics) integration | ||
- Images whose filename contains punctuation can now become thumbnails | ||
- The setting to use titlecase for your titles now works properly for titles which start with an emoji. The titlecase setting also now affects titles derived from filenames. | ||
|
||
**Questions** | ||
- [Is there a way to embed one text file within another one?](https://blot.im/questions/2256) | ||
- [Email subscriptions?](https://blot.im/questions/1353) | ||
- [What have you made with Blot?](https://blot.im/questions/1635) | ||
|
||
**Mistakes** | ||
- There were no major incidents this season. | ||
|
||
**Plans for this season** | ||
- We are considering switching the domain we use for the documentation and dashboard from *blot.im* to *blot.site*. I prefer the way *blot.site* looks and there is a security benefit to using a different domain for user-generated content. This would not affect your existing Blot subdomains. I would appreciate your thoughts – there's a part of me that believes I should simply patiently save for to purchase *blot.com*. | ||
