OtterWise Changelog

Improvements

  • Revamped Commit authoring logic to use e-mails as fallback instead of name. This comes after numerous reports of teams with employees committing locally with their first name or an alias, and their GitHub name being something else, causing same user to have multiple author connections. Should GitHub support getting commit (and author) info through the API without access to code one day, we will switch to that immediately.

  • Commit list (BETA) now uses author avatar from GitHub, instead of always using ui-avatars.com.

  • Your logged in session will now last up to 9 hours (up from 2), to prevent having to log in multiple times during the span of a work day.


We regularly update our changelog in an effort to improve transparency into the development process. If you have any questions or feedback, please don't hesitate to contact us.

If you are a user of OtterWise already, or have been reading our blog, you might already know that we take privacy extremely serious, even when it comes to protecting your code as if it was sensitive personal information, this goes for everything we do, which is why we publish changelogs for even smaller updates, rather than just major releases.

Our weekly digest for OtterWise users also includes our changelog in the bottom (see related changelog), to keep you up-to-date with the latest changes.
