⚠️ Breaking Changes & Deprecations (1)
- Note:** this release contains a breaking change for some Public API Beta users, as always, please read the [release blog post](http://dev.ghost.org/ghost-0-7-9) for more details.
⚡ Performance & Enhancements (3)
- **[Improved]** Static pages now have structured data, just like posts, so they will pass validation for twitter cards and other social media sharing tools.
- **[Improved]** Relaxed CORS handling, meaning less people should have issues logging in to their blog if their URL isn't configured exactly right.
- **[Improved]** Draft post slugs (urls) are updated when the title changes, so that you don't get weird half-titles in slugs anymore.
🔧 Bug Fixes & Patches (3)
- **[Fixed]** Static files immediately result in a 404, because trying a filename with a trailing slash on the end is never going to result in a happier ending.
- **[Fixed]** Incorrect preview link & icon position in the editor making it easier to preview your post by clicking the word "preview" at the bottom of the editor.
- **[Fixed]** Requesting `url` as a field from the Posts API didn't return the correct response (Public API Beta).
