✨ 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.
