- When a GitHub pull request is linked to a card, you can now see the repo the PR is from.
- We’ve added a notification for when you are unassigned from a card, or removed from a space.
- When opening a page, your cursor will no longer automatically focus on the first line of the page. This prevents the on-screen keyboard popping open on mobile and makes it easier to use keyboard shortcuts instead of typing in the page.
- We’ve made the delete button for checklist items appear on hover, instead of being hidden in a 3 dot menu.
Bug fixes
- We fixed an issue when searching for child cards to add to a parent. The search results would not correctly filter out cards that had already been added as children.
- We reduced the file size of some of the images we use in the app to speed up page load times.
