# Changes in 0.3.1

* Be kinder about the space used by the private URL characters. (#32)
* The keyup event on any input or textarea now marks the page as
having changed. Previously only on blur events. (e0df1375dd)
* Order the list of drafts by most-recently-modified first, clarify
draft and post ordering above each list. (#33)
* Support custom layouts for posts as well as non-post files. (#35)
* Drag-and-drop image uploads no longer use exclusively rw-------
permissions, now rely on umask. (605487d98)

If you're facing problems with a list of posts not including one
you've most recently published through the admin interface, I've
corrected this in 0.3.2, which I've just pushed. Sorry for the noise,
it's something that should've gone into 0.3.1 but I somehow hadn't
noticed there was a problem.

I may as well use this email to also point out a Google Group for
Serif in case there are problems or questions, etc. You can find it

Hi there,

I just gave Serif a try and faild at uploading images. At the bottom of 
the admin page it says: "Drag and drop images into the form above to 
upload them." I tried with Firefox and Safari but nothing is changed in 
the markdown code. There is probably a simple thing I overlooked?

Cheers,

Sorry to hear you're having problems. I just tried it with Firefox
19.0.2 and Safari 6.0.2 (7536.26.17) and it worked fine for me. I
assume you're on Serif 0.3.2. It should work if you have JavaScript
enabled.

Were you running everything locally (i.e., localhost) when you got the
problem? Were there any errors in the JavaScript console? (I assume
you're on a Mac — in Firefox you can load the console with
Option-Cmd-K or via Tools > Web Developer > Web Console, and in Safari
you can get it with Cmd-Option-C.)

If get any more details from that, let me know and I can open an issue
on GitHub for it. (Or you can do so, of course! :))

Yes, everything locally. I checked in my Safari 6.0.2, JavaScript is 
active. The console only shows this:

And nothing when I drag&drop the image file. I notice a copy of the 
image file is placed in path/to/site/directory/images. But nothing is 
visible in the markdown code or the preview.
BTW, I guess this is not the right place to discuss this, should we 
continue off-list?

Cheers,
