Almost every week of the year, The Globe and Mail updates its digital products (desktop/mobile web, newsletters, and more) with new features, designs and bug fixes. Here’s where you’ll see changes this week.

Topic Links

Bug fixes

Do you subscribe to Globe newsletters? You really should! Especially now that we’ve fixed a small styling issue in the format of the emails.

We’re always interested to hear what you think. Tell us in the comments.
