✨ New Features and Changes

It's about time for a new release! Development on Flare will be ramping again as I'm beginning to find more free time. If anything is pressing, lmk!

This release fixes a couple known bugs as well as adds support for vanity URLs.

  • Vanity URLs are now supported. You can add a vanity URL to your account in the profile page.
  • No changes are required in existing screenshot profiles and updated instances should work with vanity URLs out of the box.
  • Admins can also change user's vanity URLs via the users admin page.
  • PDFs will now render at a proper width instead of feeling cramped on the preview page.
  • The footer will no longer block the action buttons on file routes on mobile.
  • Updates dependencies.
