New feature:

The news hub takes the place of our news center and inherits all its features. Additionally, you can easily create news directly from the hub and configure which information you want to show in the list view of your news. We have many ideas to further enhance the news hub, for example bringing your personal news subscriptions there. You can share your own ideas and help us prioritize: https://linchpin.canny.io/linchpin-enterprise-news

Fixes:

You can now delete spaces that have scheduled news (i.e., a corresponding "Linchpin Enterprise News workflow space" exists). Note: If you still can't delete the space, please save the space permissions (without changes) and try again.
