Ghost 6.76 lets publishers keep their own details about members
Ghost 6.76.0 adds custom member fields, opts posts into large images in Google Discover, and fixes save deadlocks under concurrent editing.
Ghost, the open source publishing and newsletter platform, released version 6.76.0 on 10 November.
Custom fields for members
The headline feature is custom fields on member records. Publishers can now store their own information about subscribers, beyond the built-in name, email and labels, directly in Ghost rather than in a separate spreadsheet or CRM.
Better reach in Google Discover
Posts are now marked so that Google can show large images for them in Discover, which typically makes cards in the feed more prominent.
Editor and reliability fixes
- Typing a backtick over selected text now formats it as inline code.
- Saving posts no longer fails with database deadlocks when several people edit at once, and saving tiers no longer deadlocks either.
- Font setting dropdowns are no longer clipped in Safari, and the offer context is kept when a reader signs in.
The release also raises the minimum supported Node.js versions to the October security releases, which matters for self-hosted installs.
