Owlet Weekly Update (Week of November 9)

November 10th, 2020

Happy Tuesday, and welcome back to another Owlet Weekly Update! We’ve got some big news this week in the form of a hot new feature. Don't worry, it’s definitely the most important thing that’s happened in the last seven days. Read on to learn all about it, as well as a few other things we’ve been up to!

✨ New & Improved

  • One of the major projects we've been working on for a while now rolled out this week. That right, folks, staging is here! Staging is our coolest new feature for customers on our Enterprise plan who want more control over how and when their content goes live. This way, folks can make all the changes they want within a project, affecting things like content, appearance, or project settings, and they'll be immediately viewable to site admins. Once everything looks good, changes can be deployed and become visible on the actual documentation site. Indeed, customers on our Enterprise plan are now able to delete entire chunks of their site, save, and fix it without any actual impact on their docs. (Ok technically this might be true but don't try this. Really.) Check out this blog post for more info on what to do if you're interested in enabling this feature. :star2:

  • Also as a part of the staging release, we've given Enterprise customers more control over when they upgrade to the latest version of ReadMe. For those customers with staging, they can choose when to jump to the latest version. The only constraint is that they won't be able to make updates to their site until they do so, to ensure compatibility going forward! :panda-face:

🛠 Fixes & Updates

  • Folks can now use target=_blank in their Markdown to set a link to open in new tab:

    <a href="doc:getting-started" target="_blank">Getting Started</a>

  • A small security fix to make hackers’ jobs harder! 🧑‍💻

  • Straightening out our margins to make our changelog posts even prettier. :sparkles:

That's all for this week, folks! As always, stay safe, continue to exercise your voting rights in any upcoming runoff races and beyond, and thanks for being a part of the ReadMe community!
