+## 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 Mar 11th](https://about.readthedocs.com/blog/2024/11/rollout-of-our-new-dashboard/).
+* **[Link Previews](https://docs.readthedocs.io/en/stable/link-previews.html)** 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](https://sphinx-hoverxref.readthedocs.io/) 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](https://docs.readthedocs.io/en/stable/intro/docusaurus.html) and [Markdoc](https://docs.readthedocs.io/en/stable/intro/markdoc.html).
+* All of our ``build.tools`` were [updated to their latest versions](https://github.com/readthedocs/readthedocs.org/pull/11742).
+* We added support for [longer environment variables](https://github.com/readthedocs/readthedocs.org/pull/11748), which some users were running into limits on.
+
+You can always see the latest changes to our platforms in our [changelog 📃](https://docs.readthedocs.io/page/changelog.html).
+
+## 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.
+
+Want to follow along with our development progress? View our [development roadmap 📍️](https://github.com/orgs/readthedocs/projects/156/views/1)
+
+## Possible issues
+
+* [Deprecation and removal of embed API v2](https://about.readthedocs.com/blog/2024/11/embed-api-v2-deprecated/). It will be removed on **January 20, 2025**. Please update your integrations to use the new Embed API v3.

 * The new **Community dashboard** at https://app.readthedocs.org will be made the default dashboard on November 12. We are still beta testing the Business dashboard, as it effects documentation authentication and requires a bit more testing. We expect to make the Business dashboard the default soon.
 * We've added **multi-factor authentication (MFA)** to our platform, and it's now fully released. Give it a try to add an extra layer of security to your account.
-* We have added **Python 3.13** as a build option, along with `updating other build tools <https://github.com/readthedocs/readthedocs.org/pull/11742>`_.
