🌟 New
- In the beta post editor on web, pasting or writing a single paragraph that exceeds the text block character limit will now split into multiple text blocks. We are still working to make the text editing process in the new editor more seamless for long-form writing, thanks for the continued feedback!
- An “Open in Dashboard” button has been added in the Tumblr blog header for opening blogs and posts in your dashboard on web.
- On web, you can now also hold “e” and click the reblog button to Fast Reblog; we’re trying to move away from using Alt, as it conflicts with browser shortcuts.
- There is now a “Goth Rave” palette available on web, inspired by the new app icon for Tumblr on iOS.
🛠 Fixed
- The post snake has returned in the latest Tumblr on Android. If you don’t know what the “post snake” is, try dragging the floating posting button around!
- Fast reblogging on web (by holding “e” and clicking the reblog button) should no longer copy the post’s date or tags.
- Images that are larger than 300px by 600px will be stretched to fill the full post view on web (formerly it was any image less than 300px wide, regardless of height).
- Sharing posts to Twitter was broken for a short period of time yesterday (March 4th), but it should be resolved now.
- Tumblr was generally unstable for a brief period of time yesterday (March 4th), but those issues should also be resolved now.
- Fixed an issue where using an emoji before a mention in a reply would break the mention.
🚧 Ongoing
- The Top Tags data for most blogs on Tumblr is missing and currently being regenerated; they should return to all blogs over the next day or so.
