Continuing my new-ish birthday tradition I had three cake slices over three days.

From left to right:

• Malted Milkshake New York Cheesecake
• Mt. Adams Cake
• Triple Chocolate Cake

I’m not a big fan of cheesecakes but I took a chance on one this year. Although it was great, I’ll continue to choose regular cakes for this tradition.

Mt. Adams cake remains my favorite. It is described thusly,

Fluffy hazelnut-coconut cake, praline Viennese buttercream, wild huckleberry compote, and huckleberry Italian buttercream.

The cakes were sourced from Papa Haydn, which is about as old as me.

A few years ago we did a bike ride that went along the Columbia Slough and some wetlands to Kelley Point Park which is at the confluence of the Wilamette and Columbia rivers. At the time it was the longest bike ride either of us had done. We have recalled that ride fondly over the years. Today, on a very pleasant and sunny Fall day, we did it again!

Alt Text support is here in beta!

You can now write alt text for any image in Recent Uploads. Tap on an image. Write the text. Hit Save. This is attached to the export snippet at the time of export.

Notes about this feature:

• Supported for both export options, Markdown and HTML.
• It can be filtered in the Recent Uploads with the filter button on the top right.
• Not familiar with Alt Text? The editor includes a short summary with links to more information.
• As part of this Recent Uploads has been redesigned to show every image in proper aspect ratio and with an indicator to show whether it has alt text attached.

Want to try it out before launch? Join the beta!

This has been a big one 😅

• You can now change the size of images you upload to any size you like. You can also change the JPG compression quality. These features can be found in the redesigned Image preferences screen in Settings -> Image.
• Export preferences have a new option to wrap exported images in links to themselves. Find it in Settings -> Export.

You can find these in the new version that is out today.

I hope you like and use these features as much as I do. Let me know what you think 😊

P.S. Note that this release does not contain the support for Alt Text that I talked about a few weeks ago. I’m still working on that and should have that ready in the coming weeks.
