Bug Fixes

Image Card Handling Fix

Fixed an issue in the mobiledoc.populateImageSizes functionality that was not properly handling empty image card payloads. Previously, when an image card was saved without a src attribute (as a placeholder), it could potentially cause errors. This fix ensures that these placeholder images are handled correctly, improving the stability of the content editing experience.

Test Suite Fix

Removed an errant .only in the test suite that may have been limiting test coverage by only running a single test instead of the full suite.

New Features

No new features were introduced in this patch release. This update focuses on bug fixes and stability improvements.

Security Updates

No security fixes were included in this release.

Performance Improvements

No specific performance improvements were included in this release. The changes focus on bug fixes rather than performance enhancements.

Impact Summary

Ghost 3.20.3 is a maintenance release with minimal impact on day-to-day operations. The primary fix addresses how the system handles placeholder images (image cards without a src attribute) in the mobiledoc editor, which improves stability when working with such content. Content creators may notice more reliable behavior when working with placeholder images, but most users won't observe any visible changes. The update also includes a test suite fix that ensures proper test coverage for developers working with the codebase.
