2 Weeks in Review: October 23 - November 06

We’re trying out something new with these Weeks in Review and are still working out the kinks in the formatting. Please bear with us.

Without further ado:

Bug Fixes

  • Alternative Timestamps v1.1.1: Long descriptions are boring! We’ve shortened the explanation so that you won’t have to spend as much time figuring out whether you want to install this extension. Oh, and we’ve added proper credit to the author of this extension.
  • Color Quotes v1.1.0: Color Quotes has been moved to Reblog Display Options. ‘nuff said.
  • Classic Search v1.0.4, v1.0.5: If you have a search bar on your blog and you want to do a search, it’ll now point you to the actual tag on Tumblr. Spiffy, huh?
  • Edible Reblogs v1.0.4: Unchecking the hell box in the settings will properly close the lid on Panera’s Pandora’s Box.
  • One-Click Postage v4.0.8: Auto Tagger used to be naughty and replaced your tags, but now it appends them. Bad Auto Tagger, bad. No treats for you.
  • Read Posts v0.2.2: Added proper credit to the author of this extension.
  • Shorten Posts v0.2.3: Don’t overlap with blog previews. That would be bad.
  • Tag Tracking+ v1.6.0, v1.6.1, v1.6.2: Clicking on the tags now brings you to the proper page, and the tracked tag counts are back. All’s right with the world.

New Features

  • Trick or Treat! We updated the XKit icon for Halloween! New XKit: now with 200% more spookiness! (Admittedly, Halloween is over and announcing this change now is a bit weird, but that’s what you get when you write these things afterward.)
  • No Recommended v2.2.0: If you want to hide recommended schmecommended posts on the Optica theme, now you can.
  • Old Sidebar v1.1.0: This is Estufar’s Sidebar Fix renamed and integrated into New XKit! Get the sidebar back. For good.
  • PostArchive v1.0.0: A ton of stuff happened here. Like, a lot. For example, we added a link to help import your archive from old XKit, allowed you to import directly from text files that you can drag and drop, added a fortune cookie thing that will tell which numbers to use for the lotter–what? What do you mean we didn’t do that?
  • Reblog Display Options v1.0.1, v1.1.0, v1.1.1, v1.1.2, v1.1.3: Good news: Tumblr’s HTML makes slightly more sense now! Bad news: it broke Reblog Display Options. Good news: we’ve fixed Reblog Display Options! More good news: we’ve moved Color Quotes to Reblog Display Options! Bad news: if you were looking forward to bad news, there isn’t any more.
  • Tweaks v5.0.3: We added an option to restore borders to asks. Now you can be cool and edgy again!

Changes in Review

  • Editable Reblogs v3.0.0: We expect this change to fix a majority of the problems you guys are having. Right now, we’re tidying up and putting on the finishing touches. The New XKit developers do their best now and are preparing. Please wait warmly until it is ready!

That’s it for this week! If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to join our live support chat or send an ask to @new-xkit-support or @new-xkit-discussion.
