Code push happening tomorrow!

[karzilla]

We are planning to do a code push within the next 24 hours, around 7:30pm PDT / 10:30pm EDT. (timezones)

You can see what's new in the code tour that was posted earlier this week, 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 content embeds and username styling
• new color picker for the journal style customization page
• new CSS wrappers to allow styling of entry cut links

We'll update here once the new code is live!

It's on our list! We are short on frontend devs with UI/UX experience who can do that work, and their attentions have mostly been going to the modernization efforts we've been working on (in which we are trying to keep the new, modern versions of the page looking and behaving as much like the old version as possible) because that's a long-outstanding project that we need to finish first in order to accomplish most of our long-term goals for the site, but it is on our list.

Thank you for trying to keep the site looking/acting pretty much the same while updating its innards! I appreciate that a lot!

I am the person who used a chat client for something like 7 years past when it was announced
"end of life, no more updates" because I viscerally hated everything else, so I absolutely understand the "do NOT make it look different"! We're trying to be as thoughtful as possible in our updates to get the look and feel of the site into this century, heh.
