- We discussed this, and figured we should get this behind the flag for
now, even though it's pulled
- This gives us the ability to do a fast revert if we have to later,
which is the point of having the labs "GA FEATURES" array
- Note this removes the labsEnabled variable in the tests to make it
clearer if the flag is off or on (it was off!)

- This is due to the locale being user-input - it can be set to any
string.
- In our email sending code we pass the string to luxon to format dates,
which errors if the locale is not valid according it Intl.
- This fix ensures that the locale is valid before passing it to luxon,
falling back to en-gb if the locale is not valid
no issue
This PR adds the ability to translate the strings that appear in the
newsletter as boilerplate text, using i18next.
Variables are in single mustaches ( `{date}` ) in the translation
strings (rather than `{{date}}`), because these strings occur both the
email template.hbs and also .js files. That necessitated a separate
namespace.
This PR also includes changes to the newsletter button ("more like
this", "less like this", "comment") that were previously delivered on
desktop as images that included the text. @sanne-san provided a rework
that removed text-as-image from the desktop buttons, and allows more
shared code between the two layouts, along with making the buttons
translatable.
Example usage - handlebars
```
<h3 class="latest-posts-header">{{t 'Keep reading'}}</h3>
{{{t 'By {authors}' authors=post.authors }}}
```
(NOTE: triple { required because of possible & )
Example usage - javascript
```
getValue: (member) => {
if (member.status === 'comped') {
return t('complimentary');
}
if (this.isMemberTrialing(member)) {
return t('trialing');
}
// other possible statuses: t('free'), t('paid') //
return t(member.status);
}
```

With some recent changes, we added validation to unsubscribe URLs to verify the source, allowing us to cut down on spam and improving security, as the underlying key could be re-generated should the need arise. This had the side effect of making unsubscribe URLs difficult to reconstruct when using third-party/downstream integrations, such as ActiveCampaign, which fills a gap in the current Ghost feature set.
Now any authenticated query to `/api/members` will return an `unsubscribe_url` field that can be used directly.
REF DES-770
- In certain email clients such as Protonmail, the newsletter title
line-height was inherited from the `body` rather than the parent `td`.
This commit adds line-height to the title link explicitly.
ref
https://linear.app/tryghost/issue/ONC-217/implement-the-deliverytime-option-in-mailgun-api-calls
Ghost experiences its highest peak load immediately after sending out a
newsletter, as it recieves an influx of traffic from users clicking on
the links in the email, a burst of email analytics events to process
from mailgun, and an increase in organic traffic to the site's frontend
as well as the admin analytics pages. The `BatchSendingService`
currently sends all the batches to Mailgun as quickly as possible, which
may contribute to higher peak loads.
This commit adds a `deliverytime` parameter to our API calls to Mailgun,
which allows us to specify a time in the future when we want the email
to be delivered. This will allow us to moderate the rate at which emails
are delivered, and in turn that should moderate the peak traffic volume
that Ghost receives in the first 2-3 minutes after sending an email.
The `deliverytime` is calculated based on a configurable parameter:
`bulkEmail.targetDeliveryWindow`, which specifies the maximum allowable
time (in milliseconds) after the email is first sent for Ghost to
instruct Mailgun to deliver the emails. Ghost will attempt to space out
all the batches as evenly as possible throughout the specified window.
For example, if the targetDeliveryWindow is set to `300000` (5 minutes)
and there are 100 batches, Ghost will set the `deliveryTime` for each
batch ~3 seconds apart.
no issue
- added passthrough of `feature.contentVisibility` when rendering Lexical to HTML to allow for labs-feature specific rendering of HTML cards
- updated golden post email render test to account for labs flags being on/off
closes https://linear.app/tryghost/issue/PLG-15
- removed `internalLinking` GA labs flag
- renamed search providers to `flex` and `basic`
- keeps old search provider around as it can handle non-English languages unlike the faster flex provider
- updated `search` service to switch from `flex` to `basic` when the site's locale is not english
- bumped Koenig packages to switch from a feature flag for toggling internal linking features to the presence of the `searchLinks` function in card config
- updated tests to correctly switch between flex and basic providers in respective suites

- padding does not work well with paragraph inside blockquote as
horizontal spacing on Outlook
- using margin instead of padding makes sure the spacing is consistent
across Outlook versions

- iOS Mail app ignores spacing on the \<blockquote\> element, but will
respect spacing on the \<p\> element inside it
- for that reason, we started to enforce always rendering \<p\> inside
\<blockquote\> for emails
- these changes move the spacing related styles from blockquote to p
inside

The font size of subtitles/excerpts in newsletters was similar to the
body font size which doesn't reflect the content hierarchy
appropriately. Also, the spacing should be adjusted to represent that
the title and the subtitle belong together.
Fixes
https://linear.app/tryghost/issue/DES-4/image-caption-size-in-email-newsletter.
There were no styles defined for captions for cards beyond the featured
image (bookmark, gallery, video), and we had no way of targeting those
captions with CSS. They are now wrapped in a div with a specific class,
which allows for more selective styling, and are styled similarly to the
caption of the featured image.
ref DES-347
- adjusted title and excerpt length of latest posts in emails
- as the layout is same (horizontal) on both desktop and mobile, truncateHtml() needed some update
- now maxLength is expected to be larger than maxLengthMobile, because the mobile layout isn't stacked anymore
- some spacing adjustment has been made as well
no issue
We've settled on using "excerpt" naming in place of "subtitle" to better reflect the underlying property name and tie in with themes and historical usage.
- added migration to rename the `show_subtitle` newsletter setting to `show_excerpt`
- renamed all places in the codebase that referenced subtitle

- The subtitle style (serif/sans) was tied to the body style which was
misleading. It makes more sense to connect it to the title style both
from the UX and the output POV.
- Newsletter design preview was not updated according to subtitle
styles.

newsletter header. Both the newsletter template as well as the
newsletter preview in settings have been updated.
