We've upgraded the AI behind your release notes! 🚀 The release notes generator now produces more polished, user-focused content that clearly communicates the value of each change to your audience.

Your generated release notes will now be more engaging and easier to read — helping your users actually understand and appreciate what's new in each release.

You can now log in using your GitHub account! 🎉 Whether you're a new or existing user, signing in with GitHub makes it faster to get started and simplifies managing your GitHub integrations down the road.

• One-click login with your GitHub account — no extra passwords to remember
• Lays the groundwork for smoother GitHub integration workflows

Fixed an issue where navigating to a post that no longer exists or couldn't be found would result in an error. Now, you'll see a proper response instead of an unexpected failure. 🛠️

We've introduced a brand-new GitHub App integration that fundamentally improves how ReleasePad connects with your repositories. 🚀

Instead of manually adding repositories, ReleasePad now uses a GitHub App to automatically detect and sync your installed repositories. Once you install the GitHub App on your GitHub organization or account, your repositories will be available in ReleasePad — no extra configuration needed.

As part of this change, the manual repository adding workflow has been removed in favor of the streamlined GitHub App experience.

• Install the ReleasePad GitHub App directly from your GitHub settings
• Repositories are automatically synced when the app is installed or updated
• Webhook support ensures your repository list stays up to date in real time

We resolved a bug where archived GitHub repositories could cause duplicate entry errors when syncing your repository list. The uniqueness constraint now correctly scopes to non-archived repositories, preventing conflicts and ensuring a smooth sync experience.

We've improved the error handling experience when connecting a GitHub repository to your project. If something goes wrong during the connection process, you'll now see clearer, more actionable error messages instead of generic failures. This makes it easier to troubleshoot and resolve issues quickly.

ReleasePad can now automatically load your latest commits from GitHub and convert them into polished release notes. ✨

When a repository is connected via the new GitHub App integration, ReleasePad fetches the last 3 commits and uses them to generate user-friendly release notes — saving you time and ensuring your changelog stays current with minimal effort.

We've given the widget a visual refresh! The updated design is cleaner and more modern, helping it blend seamlessly into your site. ✨

Additionally, the widget now respects the custom font you've configured in your brand styles under Product Settings. This means your release notes widget will feel like a natural extension of your brand, matching the typography your users already see across your product.

We resolved a bug where the created_at timestamp was not being read correctly from the cache layer. This could have caused incorrect dates to appear in certain areas of the application. ⏰

Timestamps are now parsed and displayed accurately, ensuring consistent and reliable date information across the platform.

You now have full control over how your AI-generated release notes are written! We've added a new AI Settings panel where you can tailor the output to match your brand voice and audience preferences.

• Tone — Choose the writing style that best fits your product, from professional to casual.
• Language — Select the language for your generated release notes.
• Detail Level — Control how in-depth or concise the AI-generated content should be.
• Emoji Style — Decide how (and whether) emojis are used in your posts.

These settings are automatically applied every time new release notes are generated from your commits. Head over to your product's settings page to configure them.
