Disable widget animation 🤪
When the widget loads for the first time in your product you will notice that it has a very subtle animation.
If you find it distracting, it can be easily disabled by adding the following tag to the widget:
enable-animation="false"

Would you like to know which users are seeing your posts?
They say that data is knowledge and knowledge is power.
This new feature that we are releasing today is going to give you a lot of data, knowledge and power to make decisions.
It will allow you to know which user have seen each one your posts.
Unfortunately this implementation only works for new post views since today and you must add an extra parameter to the widget.
This is what you need to do:
Step 1.
Make changes in your widget.
Here is a quick step by step on what you need to do.

Step 2.
Find the posts you would like to know more about and click "Who has seen my post?".
It's important to note that this information will be available only for the post views after performing step #1
Step 3.
See your data.
Notification Bubble Fix
The notifications bubble indicator on widget was being reseted after a couple of days. What this meant for end user were false alerts about new changes.
This has been fixed :-)
Fixed bug with published date
In the widget and public page, posts were displaying the creation date instead of the publish date.
This has been fixed and pushed.
Thanks Diana for noticing this :-)
Fixed overflowing text in the widget.
In some special conditions, the words of some posts were overflowing to the left, creating an unpleasant experience for your users.
This has been fixed.
Mobile improvements
Improved the responsiveness of ReleasePad for mobile phones.The experience has been improved so that it loads faster and screens are rendered correctly based on device.
Intermittency on service this morning
This morning we had some intermittency on our service. This was related to a change that Amazon AWS did on Cloudfront.We got in touch with support and managed to solve the issue.
Fixed issue with CSS styling in the widget
In some special cases there were some css conflicts between the widget and the hosting page, particularly with headings (H1, H2, H3, ...).
This issue has been fixed and pushed.
Fixed order of posts to use Published date instead of creation date
Pushed a change that fixes the ordering of the posts. Instead of using the creation date it now uses the publication date.
Changed the way to store the amount of new updates in the widget.
We were having some issues with the current way of storing data for the user facing widget (the one you use on your product) related to local storage. Some logout implementations usually delete all local storage, therefore erasing all the widget data. This caused that each time a user logged out and the logged in it would appear as if it hasn't seen any of the updates, therefore creating confussion.
We switched to cookies to fix this issue.
For privacy matters it only stores the id from last seen post.
