Here it goes:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Pack descriptions:<\/strong> now you can textually describe the packs of sounds you create. It is as simple as going to the pack page and clicking to &#8220;Add a description for the pack&#8230;&#8221; button that will appear if you&#8217;re logged in as the author of the pack.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Browse by comments:<\/strong>?in the sounds page there is a new browse link called &#8220;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.freesound.org\/browse\/comments\/\">browse latest comments<\/a>&#8220;. Following that link you will find a paginated list of all the comments that you are writing about sounds (sorted by date). ?This functionality introduces a new way of browsing sounds by reading what you people are saying about them!<\/li>\n<li><strong>Captcha in messages:<\/strong>?from now on, people that have uploaded at least one sound won&#8217;t have to fill the captcha form when sending messages.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Sharing geotag maps:<\/strong> another new feature is the possibility to share and embed geotag maps. Once you are navigating in the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.freesound.org\/browse\/geotags\/\">geotags page<\/a> (sounds &gt; browse geotags), you&#8217;ll see a new &#8220;Share this map&#8221; link below the map (this link only appears when your zoom level is greater than 2). Clicking to this link you&#8217;ll find html code for embedding the map in an external page such as a blog (preserving the current displayed sounds, zoom and map position) and an url pointing to this &#8220;portion&#8221; of the map that you can easily share. Tweaking a bit the given iframe code, embedded maps can have custom with and height parameters. Just as an example for you:<\/li>\n<p><center><br \/>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.freesound.org\/embed\/geotags_box\/iframe\/?w=600&amp;h=400&amp;c_lat=41.39155575734776&amp;c_lon=2.1787261962890625&amp;z=14#box=41.37217120301799,2.13958740234375,41.410934533229224,2.217864990234375\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" width=\"602\" height=\"402\"><\/iframe><\/center><a href=\"http:\/\/www.freesound.org\/browse\/geotags_box\/?c_lat=41.39155575734776&amp;amp;c_lon=2.1787261962890625&amp;amp;z=14#box=41.37217120301799,2.140016555786133,41.410934533229224,2.217435836791992\">Shareable link to this portion of the map<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<li><strong>New API features:<\/strong>?finally, we have also implemented two new features for our API. We added a new resource (the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.freesound.org\/docs\/api\/resources.html#sound-geotags-resource\" target=\"_blank\">sound geotags resource<\/a>) that allows to retrieve a list of sounds geotagged inside a defined rectangular area.<br \/>\nIn the other hand, we have implemented a new way to select the information about sounds that is returned in any sound list. From now on, this can be done using an optional &#8220;fields&#8221; parameter that allows to specify a list of properties separated by commas (e.g. fields=id,duration,tags). For more details check the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.freesound.org\/docs\/api\/resources.html\" target=\"_blank\">API documentation<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Well, that is all for the moment, enjoy the new features and keep freesounding!!!<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; frederic<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hello everyone, we have been working in some small new functionalities that we would like to show.
