Bug Fixes

Missing Bluebird Requirement in v2 API

This release fixes an issue where the Bluebird Promise library requirement was missing in the v2 API. This omission occurred during a previous update that removed the global Promise override. The fix ensures that the v2 API correctly uses Bluebird for Promise functionality, preventing potential errors in API operations that depend on Promise capabilities.

The bug could have affected any operations using the v2 API that relied on Promise functionality, potentially causing errors or unexpected behavior in API responses.

New Features

No new features were introduced in this release. This is strictly a bug fix update focused on restoring proper functionality to the v2 API.

Security Updates

No security fixes were included in this release. The update was focused solely on addressing the missing Bluebird requirement in the v2 API.

Performance Improvements

No specific performance improvements were included in this release. The focus was on fixing the missing Bluebird requirement in the v2 API.

Impact Summary

This is a minor bug fix release with low impact for most users. The fix addresses a specific issue with the v2 API where a missing Bluebird Promise requirement could cause errors after the removal of the global Promise override in a previous update.

The impact is primarily limited to users and developers actively using the v2 API, particularly those who may have experienced Promise-related errors. For these users, the update restores proper functionality and stability to API operations.

For the majority of Ghost users who don't directly interact with the v2 API or haven't experienced related issues, this update may not have noticeable effects but ensures the platform's overall stability and compatibility.
