Owlet Weekly Update (Week of August 31)

💔

Kiss me hard before you go
Summertime sadness
I just wanted you to know
That baby, you the best

—Lana Del Rey (but also me, referring to smorgasbord of silverware I've accumulated since college that I finally got rid of in favor of an actual matching set)

Change is ripe in the air on the first day of September, folks! Not only in the crisp fall weather here in Minneapolis (that's doing an absolute number on my nasal passages 🤧), but also within ReadMe itself—a new Ruby integration for API Metrics, performance improvements, and so much more. Details below! 🍁

✨ New & Improved

• Rubyists—rejoice! We just released a Ruby integration for API Metrics that supports Rails and Rack frameworks. Huuuuge thanks to our friends over at thoughtbot for their incredible work on this! Check out the setup docs here. 💎
  
  And for those keeping score, we now have API Metrics SDKs for Cloudflare (via a Cloudflare Worker), Node.js, PHP, Python, AND Ruby. Hyah! Don't see your language/framework listed? Drop us a line at [email protected]! 🤝
• General performance improvements in the developer hubs and the API Metrics dashboard. 🚀
• New date and date-time pickers in the API Explorer. 📆

🛠 Fixes & Updates

• When previewing a hidden API Reference section in ReadMe, you'll often see a little button labeled "Enable it for everyone" that, as the name suggests, takes you to a location in the dashboard where you can enable the API reference section for everyone. Unfortunately, what the name of the button suggests and what it actually did were two slightly different things. Now, they're the same! Love that. 👯
• If you've ever used ReadMe during a trial period, you'll know that we occasionally inform you of features that you're using that are only available for paid subscriptions. Well, for a small chunk of customers, that popup would appear for... wait for it... people that are on paid subscriptions. Oops! Happy to report that this release includes a fix to this bug/deceptive marketing tactic. 💸
• Various API Explorer fixes related to authorization keys and polymorphism.
• Minor fixes to the ReadMe Markdown engine's compatibility mode. 🧓
• Tiny behind-the-scenes error handling improvements. 🤓
• Small stability improvements to our sidebar. 🍫
• A couple of small security fixes. 🔐

Thanks again for reading and for being a part of the ReadMe community!
