Changelog

Release notes for the Inkstead Writer 2.3 series, newest first.

2.3.2

Editor support for the site configuration

inkstead-writer.json now has a published JSON Schema at https://inkstead.app/writer/schema/inkstead-writer.json. New sites start with a $schema key pointing at it, and editors that understand JSON Schema (VS Code and most others) use it to flag mistakes and suggest keys as you type. See site configuration.

Nothing needs to change by hand: migrate adds the $schema key to an existing site, and a file without it keeps working as before.

2.3.1

Buffer syndication fix

Syndicating through Buffer could fail with an error mentioning $organizationId: Inkstead Writer was asking Buffer's API for the channel list in a form it doesn't accept. It now asks in the form Buffer expects.

An expired Buffer key also fails with a message that says what to do (create a new key and reconnect Buffer in Inkstead, or update the BUFFER_API_KEY secret) instead of a raw API error. Buffer keys last a year at most, so this is worth knowing about.

Nothing needs to change in an existing site: updating is the fix.

2.3.0

Buffer syndication

Posts can now syndicate through Buffer, which reaches X, LinkedIn, Threads, Facebook, Instagram and Pinterest from one account. Set BUFFER_API_KEY and add targets that name the network, such as buffer:x. See the Buffer guide.

Nothing needs to change in an existing site. Targets that name only a provider keep working as before, and Buffer results are recorded nested under buffer so other providers' entries are untouched.
