Starting today, you can optionally show an unread updates badge when using our widget. This is usually a red dot placed near a bell icon or something similar - you've probably seen that before.

We updated our setup instructions that can be found in the widget settings. You can also check our help center article in case someone with no access to the backend needs to know how to add this badge.

The styling is totally up to you, we do not add any styling at all. Here is an example how the dot could look like with Tailwind CSS classes.

Today we fixed a small bug that would prevent the use of bold, italic etc formatting within lists. This is now possible.

New embed feature

We also added a new feature for embedding content. Just paste a link to an external resource and we'll try to show it inline. Supported services include YouTube, Vimeo, Instagram, Facebook, X (Twitter), CodePen and GitHub Gist.

Want to keep track of subscribers and team signups via webhook? Well now you can. Today we added the possibility to get a POST webhook notification whenever someone subscribes or unsubscribes to your changelog. You will also be notified when someone joins your team, in addition to an email notification.

Email notifications for team signups can now optionally be disabled, but we suggest to keep them enabled.

Webhook notifications are automatically enabled once you add a valid endpoint to your workspace settings. To learn more about handling webhook requests, check out our help article.

"I need multiple workspaces" was something we heard a few times the past couple of weeks – mostly from our beta testers. Fair enough. This was something we had planned to build anyway, so we moved it up the todo list.

Additional workspaces are now available. Each account (except team member accounts) can create up to 3 workspaces by default. If more than 3 workspaces are needed, additional ones are available via a one-time payment of €5 (~ $5.30).

Workspace logo in backend

We also added the custom workspace logo to the backend view, if one was uploaded. This will replace our default "Releases" logo with the one from your own changelog. Dark mode and light mode versions are respected, if both were uploaded.

Today we added the possibility to sign up / sign in to Releases via Google and GitHub. Simply authenticate with your existing credentials and you are good to go. We may add additional providers in a future update.

Apart from some under-the-hood improvements, today's update brings two new formatting options: Inline code and marker.

We are currently preparing a new theme as well as a notification system when new subscribers signed up.

We are excited to announce the introduction of "Teams". With this release, admins can now form and manage teams of any size.

Each workspace can have one team. There are no limitations on how many people can join a team – invite as many as you have. Invites are done via a unique invite-link that can be re-generated or disabled at any time.

Anybody with access to a workspace invite-link can join this workspace. Admins will be notified via email when a new member joined. There currently is no permissions or roles system in place. Only admins can remove members from a team.

In a future update, we may introduce a simple permissions / roles system that allows admins to define publish and delete rights to entries for specific users. Right now, every member of a team can publish and delete entries, has access to tags, subscribers, as well as to the workspace settings.

Today we would like to introduce a new feature called "GitHub Sync". If you keep your release notes on GitHub, changes are you have an open source package, an app or website or essentially anything that can be hosted on GitHub and shared with others.

Not everyone is on GitHub though. If you have a website, you can make use of our widget to show your release notes directly where your users are. Just keep updating your releases notes on GitHub and sync them with Releases anytime you like.

In a future update, we will add the option to auto-sync release notes. "GitHub Sync" is currently only available for public repositories.

To get started, head over to the "GitHub Sync" settings and connect your repository.

Today we shipped our widget and also added a sitemap to all public changelogs.

Widget

Use our widget to show the latest changelog entries directly within a website. No need for users to leave your website or platform. Implementation should not take longer than 2 minutes and is really straightforward.

To see a demo and setup instructions, log in to your account and head over to the "Widget" settings.

Sitemap

We also added a sitemap.xml to all changelogs. You can, for example, submit this sitemap to the Google Search Console or use it anyway you need. Just append /sitemap.xml at the end of your workspace url, e.g. example.com/sitemap.xml

Today we added a new theme called "Minimalist". As the name suggests, it's really minimal. The theme is available in light and dark mode.

We also added a new option to upload a custom logo for dark mode.

To change a theme, head over to the "Appearance" settings. This is also where you can set an optional logo for dark mode.

Apart from a bunch of smaller improvements across the backend, we also implemented the possibility to export a workspace.

This will give you all entries, files, tags and subscribers. It is also possible to only export subscribers.

To export the entire workspace, head over to the workspace settings and scroll down to the "Export" section. Exporting a full workspace should not take longer than 30 seconds. Exports will be deleted after 7 days, but a new export can be generated at any time.

Today we are pleased to release access to our API.

You can access workspace related resources via the following endpoints:

GET /api/workspace
GET /api/entries
GET /api/entries/{id}
GET /api/tags
GET /api/subscribers
POST /api/subscribers
