Week in Review: November 06 - November 13
I know it’s Friday the 13th and all, but I promise you this review won’t have any bad news! (Unless you have a different interpretation of “bad news”, in which case I don’t think there’s anything we can do about that.)
Bug Fixes
- AccessKit v1.1.8: The OpenDyslexic font used to load from the old XKit servers, but gets blocked because of permissions or something. Which is really weird! Now it gets loaded from a super-fast and stable source so that you can get the font you need to read the stuff you want.
- Editable Reblogs v3.0.3: Editable Reblogs has been misbehaving recently. We’ve taken it upon ourselves to make sure that your read mores are actually read mores and not horizontal lines, that Editable Reblogs doesn’t flail its arms wildly when it encounters images, that click handler madness doesn’t happen, and that we perform the same logic on links that we do on asks instead of crapping out. Believe me, there’s more disciplining on the way.
- Reblog Display Options v1.1.4: Hotfixes! Hotfixes! Get them right here! Fixed a couple of display issues, like titles on broken posts.
- XKit Updates v2.0.2: Extension. Extensions. Person. People. Goose. Geese. Ox. Oxen. Plankter. Plankton? English is weird, man.
New Features
- Messaging Tweaks v1.1.0: As it says on the tin, this provides a variety of tweaks to your messaging experience! You can hide the chat bubbles completely, move your own messages to the right, minimize the chat by clicking on the title, and change the colors to customize your chat to perfection. Now featuring Tumbley the Tumblr! Speaking of which, we don’t have a mascot yet…
- Tweaks v5.1.0: Do you remember when the photo dimensions used to be 500/245/160px? We brought that back for old times’ sake.
Changes in Review
- Editable Reblogs v3.0.4: We’ve heard you loud and clear, so we’re restoring the dropdown buttons so you can schedule your posts. We knew we were releasing something a little broken while we worked on some better stuff, but we underestimated how big of an impact this would have, so we apologize. For the future, we’re considering a beta release channel so you can test the latest and greatest XKit extensions and we can get a wider opinion on upcoming changes.
- Messaging Tweaks v1.2.0: Chat notifications! Sound notifications! Desktop notifications! Notificationtarianism!
- Tag Tracking+ v1.6.3: If you ever wanted to have the tag counts and the [new] indicator back in the search bar, this fix has ‘em. This also restores the maximum new posts per tag to 10.
- XWidgets v0.3.1: Tumblr be hidin’ our stuff behind the header! Rude.
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.
