ReleasePad

Users who signed up via GitHub can now interact with password fields without running into errors. Previously, attempting to use a password when your account was linked through GitHub could cause unexpected issues.

This fix removes a frustrating blocker for GitHub-authenticated users, ensuring a smooth experience regardless of how you signed up. 🔐

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 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 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.

We resolved a bug that was preventing posts created via Git commits from being published successfully. The issue was related to how bullet point items in commit messages were being processed, which could cause the publish step to fail silently.

If you previously experienced issues with posts not appearing after pushing commits, everything should now work as expected. 🎉

We fixed a bug where search filters and parameters were lost when navigating to the next page of results. Now your search criteria are properly preserved across all pages, so you can browse through filtered results without losing your query. 🔍

Bullet points and numbered lists in your release notes were breaking visually — that's now sorted. Whether you're outlining features, listing bug fixes, or breaking down steps, your lists will display correctly with proper indentation and spacing.

Write structured content with confidence knowing it'll look exactly how you intended 🎯

1. Item 1
2. Item 2
3. Item 3

• Item 1
• Item 2
• Item 3

Enjoy!

We identified and resolved an issue that was causing incorrect post counts to display on the products index and individual product public pages.

What was happening: The number of posts shown for each product wasn't reflecting the actual count, which could lead to confusion when browsing products or viewing product details.

What we fixed: We corrected the query logic responsible for calculating and displaying post counts. Products now accurately show the correct number of associated posts across both the products listing page and each product's public page.

No action required — this fix has been automatically applied.

We identified and fixed a bug that was causing some post views to go uncounted. Previously, certain views weren't being recorded properly, which meant the view counts you saw were lower than your actual reach. 📉

What happened: A tracking issue was preventing views from being logged under specific conditions, resulting in underreported numbers across the platform.

What we fixed: Views are now being captured correctly. Your post view counts should reflect a more accurate (and likely higher) picture of your audience engagement. 📈✨

No action is needed on your part—the fix has already been applied. If you notice your view counts looking healthier than before, that's why. 🎉

Drafts Are Now Truly Private

We discovered that posts you marked as drafts were still appearing publicly—yikes, that’s not what anyone wants! We’ve fixed this issue, so your drafts stay hidden until you’re ready to share them with the world.

Blurbs That Capture Every Word

Some of you noticed that the short descriptions of your posts—your blurbs—were getting cut off, leaving out key words. That’s not fair to your story. We’ve resolved this, ensuring your blurbs now display every word as intended.
