News and updates

• Our new dashboard is now the default for all users. This has been a long time coming, and we are excited to have have everyone migrated over. The old dashboard will be removed on March 11.
• Link Previews are now available in Addons. This feature allows you to see a preview of the linked page when you hover over a link in your documentation. This is a re-implementation of our Sphinx extension that works for any documentation tool.
• We're adding additional documentation examples for documentation tools that are supported on Read the Docs. This month we added Docusarus and Markdoc.
• All of our build.tools were updated to their latest versions.
• We added support for longer environment variables, which some users were running into limits on.

You can always see the latest changes to our platforms in our changelog 📃.

Upcoming changes

• We are working to allow extending default build.jobs in the new build system. This will allow you to customize the build process more easily, with things like build.jobs.build.pdf being able to override the PDF build. This is now built, and we're testing it internally before documenting it publicly.
• We are planning to move our official documentation to https://docs.readthedocs.com to make it more obviously official. This should be a seamless transition for users, but we will be updating links in our documentation and on our website to reflect this change.
