🐘Wildlife Conservation Day bugfixes

December 4th is Wildlife Conservation Day, so if you're looking for some belated Giving Tuesday charities, consider supporting a wildlife conservation organization! (We are a bit partial to Birds of Prey, because they help a lot of owls, but there are many amazing organizations out there 😉.)

We've been working on some larger efforts, but in the meantime, we recently released fixes for these issues:

  • Some of our early adopters of Article Favorites had some authors and readers who were getting 500 errors when trying to view the Favorites list. The underlying cause of these was us not retroactively handling a use case after we fixed a bug with favorites. But we've now fixed that so no one should be having any 500 errors when viewing Favorites!
  • API users: For those of you using the API to make PUT or POST calls that touch date fields, this change is for you! Previously, we required that you pass date/time stamps in using the Y-m-d H:i:s format ("2023-10-05 18:48:00"). We've updated our API so that it will also handle Unix timestamp format. So it's now your choice which format you'd like to use in your calls.
