• Introducing an advanced feature for Newspages: now you can select publications to exclude from the default Newspage listing based on labels, such as labels for upcoming features. To access this feature, click on "Newspage" in the left navigation menu, scroll to the bottom of the page, and select "Advanced options".

• Add a confirmation dialog to acknowledge the deletion of a featured image from a publication.

• Add AutoSubmitted and Precedence headers when appropriate for emails sent by Noticeable to better manage email behavior.

• Fixed a bug that occurred when duplicating a publication with a featured image; the copy was using the reference to the same featured image instead of creating a copy. Now, a duplicated publication no longer has any featured image.

• Resolved a problem where the drag-and-drop functionality for files was not operating correctly on file input fields.

• Addressed a glitch affecting widget loading and synchronization, which occasionally led to inaccurate view count metrics.

• When a publication configured to open widgets automatically opens a widget, this is counted as a widget view.

• Introduced a convenient refresh shortcut for project analytics, located at the top-right corner, enabling users to update analytics data without reloading the entire dashboard.

  

• Added a smooth animation when changing from an activity period to another on analytics page:

  

We have introduced a technical enhancement that elevates speed, security and the ease of configuring custom domains for your Newspages.

Previously, if you wanted to use a custom domain like updates.acme.com for your Noticeable Newspage, you were required to set up two DNS records: a TXT record to verify domain ownership and another to link to Noticeable's servers.

As of now, Noticeable utilizes Cloudflare's extensive global infrastructure for managing custom domains, simplifying the process. The need for a TXT DNS record for domain verification is eliminated. If you've previously set up a TXT record beginning with _noticeable, it's now safe to remove it. You'll only need a single CNAME record pointing to custom.noticeable.news, which you likely already have if you've configured a custom domain before.

Leveraging Cloudflare's infrastructure enhances the speed of HTTPS certificate issuance for your custom domain and reduces network latency with its presence in over 250 regions worldwide. Additionally, loading times get a boost from early hints support, and security is strengthened with the enforcement of at least TLS 1.2 and support for TLS 1.3.

It's important to note that Cloudflare employs the Google Trust Services certificate authority for signing TLS certificates. If you encounter an ERR_SSL_VERSION_OR_CIPHER_MISMATCH error with your custom domain, it might be due to CAA DNS records that don't include pki.goog on your parent domain. Adding pki.goog to your CAA records and initiating a custom domain verification through the Noticeable dashboard should resolve the issue:

1. Open the Noticeable Dashboard.

2. Navigate to “Newspage” in the left menu.

3. Under “Basic & Custom Domain”, and click on “Verify Domain”.

Happy publishing!

We're delighted to unveil our automatic translation feature for publications.

The "Duplicate" option you see alongside each publication in the listings has now evolved into "Copy to". Within this, you'll find a fresh option to instantly translate the title and content into the language of your choice.

If you're announcing in multiple languages, this is your new best friend. With our suggestion to create a distinct project for each language to ensure granular control over settings, transferring a publication to a different project with auto-translation has never been easier. A couple of clicks, a swift review, and it's all set for publishing!

We’re excited to introduce end user authentication with Noticeable widgets.

End user authentication is a feature you can optionally integrate to verify the identities of your end users. This ensures that when end users engage with widgets, such as commenting, their identity is confirmed and secure from impersonation.

How does it function?

Noticeable employs Single Sign-On (SSO) tokens for this authentication process:

1. On your server(s) side, you create an SSO token for each end user (using a secret we share).

2. You pass this SSO token with our Javascript SDK before rendering any widget.

3. Voilà! Your end user's identity is now securely authenticated with Noticeable widgets.

Note: While it's still possible to pass end user traits using our Javascript SDK as outlined in our various identification methods, this approach is no longer recommended.
