19.5.0.2
Pre-release
🚨 This release has no attached .xcarchive 🚨
The reason for that is I created the tag manually because CI could not do it. Some Fastlane changes against the release branch broke the logic to trigger creating a release via Fastlane and, while d542ab7 addresses the issue, we can't create a GitHub release from this version because the process is conditional to the TestFlight upload succeeding. Unfortunately, I realized that the GitHub release creation needed work only once I saw no release despite a green build. We could trigger a new Buildkite build, but that would result in TestFlight rejecting the built binary because it already has one for 19.5.0.2.
All things considered, it seems safe enough to simply create the release manually but without attachments. This is after all an intermediate release, and one with no app feature changes.
We updated Comment Notifications with a spiffy new look and feel. (You might recognize it from My Site Comments!) The Quick Start design in your site menu and dashboard is rocking a new look, too.
When you’re creating a new site and entering the domain name, you should now see a more accurate error message if you try to use non-English characters that aren’t letters or numbers. We also tweaked the upload error text in media upload blocks.
Not sure if you’re looking at an image or a GIF in your Image block? No need to wonder anymore—animated GIFs now come with a GIF badge.
We also made a few bug fixes while we were under the hood.
- Good news for all those orphan comments out there—we squashed a bug where comment replies got lost after their parent comments were unapproved.
- When you switch between sites on an iPad, you won’t switch between sidebar nav items, too. You’ll be looking at the same menu item you left on the previous site.
- Block setting changes to ordered lists now appear in the editor, not just in Preview.
- We fixed a keyboard issue in the WP.com account creation process. If you start entering a magic link password and change your mind, you can dismiss the keyboard and move on with your day.
