Hi there Changebot reader!
We're hard at work on a "recaps" feature and thought we'd test on our own account for a bit. The below update was generated as a recap of our product improvements in January for the purpose of sharing here on our blog, and also for monthly newsletter which goes to current customers, trials, and anyone who's expressed interested by signing up on the blog.
Here's what we've generated, if you'd like to automatically generate the below update for your company sign up for a trial today and we'll let you know when it's live!
Changebot's January Update
Happy New Year! We’re thrilled to welcome 2025 with a series of enhancements that we believe will make your Changebot experience even more delightful and efficient. This January, our team has been hard at work behind the scenes, refining our tools and features to help you seamlessly capture and share the incredible work you do.
We kicked off the month by introducing our brand-new Update Builder—a feature designed to revolutionize how you manage your commits. Imagine being able to gather a month’s worth of code changes into a single, comprehensive update with ease. The Update Builder was crafted to simplify this process, allowing you to organize your commits by date and even tailor updates based on your team’s context. This means that whether you’re curating updates for one project or juggling multiple teams, everything stays neat and accessible.
Building on that solid foundation, we recognized the importance of keeping all our background processes running like clockwork. To that end, we enhanced our job processing system to prioritize critical operations like sending emails and processing webhooks. By setting specific latency requirements, we’ve ensured that even when you’re pushing a flurry of commits, the system stays responsive, keeping your workflow as smooth as possible.
Mid-month, we added a touch of personalization to your changelogs with customizable subheadings. Now, you can fine-tune the look and feel of your updates to better reflect your brand’s unique voice. This simple yet powerful tweak is all about giving you that extra bit of control to make every update feel just right.
As the month wrapped up, we turned our attention back to the Update Builder to supercharge its performance. For those of you dealing with “big carts” of commits—say, a full month’s work—we removed previous limitations to ensure that gathering extensive updates is not only possible but also lightning-fast. We also introduced smoother navigation with intuitive pagination controls and a handy repository picker. Switching between projects is now effortless, with the system remembering exactly where you left off so that you can pick up right where you need to.
Every one of these updates is designed with you in mind—helping you effortlessly capture your hard work and share it with the world. We’re excited to see how these improvements elevate your experience, and as always, we’re eager to hear your thoughts.
Here’s to a productive and inspiring 2025!
Warm regards,
The Changebot Team
