Onset v4 - Roadmap

Another exciting release, friends!

Occasionally you want to share a draft version of your release notes before publishing them to the world. We are testing a new “Public Share Link” feature that allows you to generate a unique link for your releases and share them with anyone outside your organization. The release can be in any state, private, or draft.

We generated a share link for one of our private draft releases as a demo. Click [here](https://releases.onset.io/r/IFM374BY-ZaCQ9UvTUc0E) to check it out.

You can enable this feature via [**Settings → Labs**](https://app.onset.io/?redirect=settings.labs).

P.S. It’s also great for previewing your release notes before making them publicly available.

Widget v2.0.0

We’ve gone dark y’all! We are following up on our [previous](https://releases.onset.io/pages/introducing-dark-mode) release and rolling out dark mode for our widget. Unlike the page, dark mode is enabled programmatically, with no toggles.

While embedding the widget, now you have an optional `theme` attribute that you can pass. It accepts one of three values:

1.  `light` - light theme
2.  `dark` - dark theme
3.  `auto` - auto-detect based on the user’s computer system settings

We are defaulting to our usual `light` theme to avoid shocking your eyes with the new theme. In the future, this property default value be changed to `auto`.

```dts
onsetWidgetSettings = {
  page: 'releases.onset.io',
  triggerText: "🔔 What's New",
  theme: 'dark',
};
```

Check out our widget [documentation](https://docs.onset.io/widget) for more configuration options.

Introducing Dark Mode

Ability to upload images directly in the editor.

Added <code>.ico</code> image support for page icons.

Fixed various billing subscription bugs.

We worked on our editor and made various changes that we are proud to share. The main one that we are most excited about is the new image upload functionality.

![](https://cdn.onset.io/organization/71beb7f0-20f9-11e8-91a3-3d93a78d135f/uploads/1654261263661-image-upload.png)

Previously, we only allowed you to embed images via URL from an external source. We understand that it was somewhat of a frustrating process, so we decided to fix it. You can now upload images directly to the platform without using any other third-party hosting, and it’s completely free.

> **🤔 Did you know?**  
> While adding changes, you can use `cmd/ctrl + return` to add a new change line item.
