24 July: Iterating, improving, fixing

We’ve made some small (but mighty) quality-of-life improvements with our latest releases

We’ve been hard at work making improvements under the hood so GitBook works even better in your day-to-day.

Improved

  • Added an API endpoint to list all the change requests in a space.

  • Added support for favicons on iOS, so you can now see the favicon if you add a GitBook page in your home screen.

  • Top-level blocks now have a plus button on the left to quickly create new blocks above or below it.

  • We disabled the option to merge a change request when Git sync is already running both on the API and in the editor. This prevents conflicts during merges.

  • Google Translate will no longer translate code blocks when you use it on a page.

  • The formatting toolbar got a fresh coat of paint. It now features new icons, plus we made it a little larger and added a hover animation to make it easier to select the tool you need.

🔧 Fixed

  • Fixed whitespace added at the bottom of the document when an expandable block is collapsed.

  • Fixed a bug where duplicating a Space would carry over previous git metadata in its revision files.

  • Fixed some small issues with the sidebar styling for comments and page options.

  • Fixed PDF rendering in quote and hint blocks.

  • Fixed an issue where GitHub authentication was failing and preventing users from signing in.

  • Fixed an issue where inline images wouldn’t always render in published spaces.

  • Fixed an issue where larger code blocks would have incorrect styling for line numbers.

  • Fixed the broken link at the bottom of the in-app integrations modal. It now directs to our developer documentation.
