Release Notes – 2023.07.20

July 20, 2023

Highlights

  • Additional updates to recently added JSON-LD format structured data
    In the previous release, we added additional metadata for many page types in a format that Google prefers in an effort to improve indexing results. This release we’ve fixed some issues in the initial implementation, and added support for more page types. (Some of this was e-released during the last cycle, but more is included in this release.)
  • Cleanup and improvements to the new activation process
    Overall the rollout of the new activation process in the last release was a great success, and we’re excited to have new options and better maintainability for the system moving forward. There were a few small issues to clean up as well as some improvements and clarifications that presented themselves once the system was in wider use. Here too some of those fixes came via e-release, but more are included in this release cycle.
  • Improved Mailchimp email campaign error handling and reporting
    Managing our integration with Mailchimp is always tricky, and after a recent cluster of issues with email campaigns not sending as expected we’ve taken some time to improve error handing and add additional reporting on such errors to hopefully help improve our understanding of these issues and better address their root causes.
