Owlet Weekly Update (Week of July 20)

- Welcome to the Owlet Weekly Update for the Week of July 13!
+ Welcome to the Owlet Weekly Update for the Week of July 20!

Another week, another weekly update! This week's release bore many small fruit, including diff language support in our code blocks (as demonstrated above), fixes to several glaring spelling and grammatical errors, and many other small improvements and fixes. Read on for the details! 🍓

✨ New & Improved

• As part of our *ahem* massive Search improvements, did you know that you can trigger the new Search modal on any page by pressing ⌘ + K on macOS or ^ + K on other platforms (e.g. Windows, Linux)? Well for those of you that fall in the latter category, that's been a bit confusing thus far since the search bar previously indicated that it was ⌘ + K for all platforms. Happy to report that we render the Command or Control key based your platform. 💻
• A couple of small design touch-ups, primarily to ensure our icon updates from last week are reflected everywhere. 💄
• Added support for diff syntax highlighting in our code blocks. 🎨
• Our rdme command line tool now takes advantage of our improved API error responses. 🚀
• Responsive polish in the guides and reference sections. 📱
• We gave the Owlbert emoji a new look! You can use it by typing :owlbert: into your docs. If you haven't already, check out our ReadMe Markdown docs for more info.

🛠 Fixes & Updates

• As you may have heard last week, we made some huge improvements to the ReadMe API, including a link to an API log in every error response! We noticed issues with how our API logs were constructing sample cURL for certain requests (as well as a few spelling errors in our API error poems). This release includes some major reliability improvements to our API logs, as well as some desperately-needed fixes to the spelling errors. 🖋️
• Fun fact: Log In is a verb, whereas Login is a noun. And turns out we've had that mixed up in some of our copy for... probably years. This was probably bugging many of you grammar nerds (including our very own Copy Queen, Shinae—thanks for the catch!). We appreciate your restraint and the lack of Twitter callouts. 🤓
• There was a tiny issue on certain pages in the Enterprise project dashboard where we were displaying black text on a black background. Turns out that severely limits one's ability to write Custom CSS and JavaScript. Please rejoice — this has been fixed and you can now view your own code! 🧑‍💻
• As part of our addition of diff syntax highlighting, we noticed a little quirk where switching between certain languages in the code editor may not actually update the code's syntax highlighting correctly. This release also includes a fix to that. 🔄
• Various small improvements in the API Explorer, including better support for default in the OpenAPI Responses object and minor fixes to how we handle x-www-form-urlencoded payloads. 📦
• Fixed a bug in the Manual API Editor where defining default values wouldn't be reflected in the API reference section. ✏️
• Several minor security fixes including to an issue where changes to a user's project permissions weren't immediately taking effect in their current session. 🔐
• Minor clean-up in the API error response objects that we updated last week. 🧹
