Bug Fixes

Fixed UI Permission Issue

This release addresses a specific UI bug where snippet icons were incorrectly displaying in the card toolbar for authors and contributors. These user roles shouldn't have access to the snippet functionality, but the icon was erroneously appearing in their interface.

The fix ensures that UI elements properly respect user permissions, providing a cleaner and more consistent editing experience for users with different access levels.

New Features

No new features were introduced in this patch release. Ghost 3.37.1 focuses exclusively on fixing a UI bug related to snippet icon visibility.

Security Updates

No security fixes were included in this patch release. Ghost 3.37.1 addresses a UI bug rather than security vulnerabilities.

Performance Improvements

No specific performance improvements were included in this patch release. Ghost 3.37.1 focuses on fixing a UI bug rather than performance enhancements.

Impact Summary

Ghost 3.37.1 has a low overall impact as it addresses a specific UI bug rather than introducing functional changes. The primary benefit is an improved editing experience for authors and contributors who will no longer see snippet icons they shouldn't have access to.

This update maintains the integrity of Ghost's permission system by ensuring UI elements properly respect user roles. While not affecting core functionality, it provides a more consistent and appropriate user interface based on permission levels.

The change is particularly relevant for multi-user Ghost installations where different user roles (admin, editor, author, contributor) are actively used.
