 * TWBlue should be able to display variables within templates (for example, now it is possible to send a template inside a post's text). Before, it was removing $variables so it was difficult to show how to edit templates from the client. ([#515](https://github.com/MCV-Software/TWBlue/issues/515))
 * Mastodon:
     * it is possible to add descriptions for all media available on Mastodon (audio, photos, video and Givs). ([#516](https://github.com/MCV-Software/TWBlue/issues/516))
+    * Added an experimetal feature to recover from connection errors. When making a post, if the post cannot be published due to any kind of error, TWBlue will bring up the dialog where the post was composed, so you can give the post a second chance or save the post's text. This feature should work for threads, posts with attachments, polls and replies.

     * Fixed an error on mentions buffer that was making TWBlue unable to load posts if there were mentions from a blocked or deleted account.
