## About

The Tildes Issue Log is a monthly recurring post about the changes and progression that Tildes has made. Highlighting some of the newest additions and changes, as well as a complete table of every issue opened and closed in that month, along with some interesting statistics so you can get a look into the development process and a quick grasp of anything you may have missed.

## Feedback

If anything is incorrect or you have anything that you'd like to see changed or added please open an issue, PM me or comment on the posted topic on Tildes.

If you'd like to write a highlight section or want to contribute in any other way, feel free to do so. Like Tildes, this will remain entirely open-source.

## Highlights

### Various Updates

Over the course of August there have been various updates/improvements made, some of which you can read more about here or briefly summarized in this list:

- The Docs have had a major rewrite/reorganization/rework using the Wiki system. (Contributed by @Algernon_Asimov, thank you!)
- You can now write small text using the `<small>` HTML tag.
- You can now also write expandable boxes/"spoilerboxes" using the `<details>` and `<summary>` HTML tags. Check out the Text Formatting docs for an example.
- A new theme "Zenburn" has been added, you can change themes in your settings.
- A small warning will now display above the comment box if the topic or comment you're replying to is over a week old. (Open-source contribution by @deing, thank you!)
- If you have the mark new comments feature enabled, visiting topics you've previously read will now automatically jump you to the comments section.

### GitLab Reorganization

A big reorganization of the GitLab issue tracker has been underway during the end of August, although it is not yet finished here's a small list of some things that have changed so far:

- Labels have been completely redone, view them all here
- @Deimos has gone through the entire tracker and either accepted or denied all the issues, if you've ever wanted to contribute to the code but couldn't find anything you could work on that was confirmed to be a wanted feature now is the time to check again. You can filter for Stage::Accepted to find them easily.
- Several "Epics" have been made to track individual issues for broad features of Tildes such as Search and the Wiki system, more Epics will be made in the coming weeks/months.

And a bunch more things I will cover in next month's post once the reorganization is finished.
