🪵 March Changelog Rollup 🌯

#changelog #product

And we are back, Forem Creators!

As before, this changelog rollup is split into functional sections, which we hope will help you easily identify the relevancy of each change. If you'd like to see them presented differently, we'd love to hear from you in the comments below!

Accessibility Improvements

Last month we made some changes to the way GIFs play in posts, and then we noticed that the pause button disappears after pausing. We fixed it ✨
We continued with out a11y improvements by implementing an accessible color picker for user-selected colors

Bugs

Our team fixed a bug with admin/customization/config > Onboarding where changes wouldn't save without uploading an onboarding background image
DEV users noticed that posts with various "blank" characters break headers and affect page width - both issues should now have been addressed, along with some quirks of the post editor and feed
User names with apostrophes were throwing off the follow button, so we fixed that
@miguelnietoa pushed a fix for a bug that rendered the Analytics Infinity view lines as extra thick 🙌

Embeds

@msarit has been hard at work continuing to refine the new embeds tool, including:
Post and comment embeds on DEV and forem.dev
Instagram embeds
Adding the option for GitHub embeds with no-readme or noreadme after the URL per old-style Liquid tags
Enriched error messaging for failed embeds 🙏

Listings

Read more about Listings moving into an Extension in @amyatforem's post here
As part of this move, we gave Listings a toggle under Extensions
And, highlighted by the move, we updated Listings tag selection to new autocomplete

Member Management

Most of the items in this list were components of the big change to the Member Management area of the Admin Panel shared by @jennieocken's here
Change the nav item from "People" to "Members
Style the heading and the tabs of the Member Index View
Implement Copy Changes for the Admin Member Detail View
Remove Duplicate "Verify Email Address" Button from Admin Member Detail View (@ildi, just for you: this button is here to allow members to verify their identity as the account owner prior to self-deleting their account. It's intended as an extra security precaution that helps secure accounts against being deleted by someone other than their registered user.)

Dependencies

We keep our technical dependencies up to date as a policy, so we updated to Rails 7 and updated yarn to 1.22.18 (the latest 1.x version) (a belated shout-out to @tnir for this! Thank you!)
