Owlet Weekly Update (Week of September 21)

September 22nd, 2020

Hello hello, welcome to yet another Owlet Weekly Update! This week's fixes were focused on security and reliability, including to the the API Explorer, the Page History feature, and more. Details below! :owlbert-thinking:

👻

✨ New & Improved

  • Everything’s bigger in Texas—including our limits on how many custom pages you can add to a project. As of this release, at least. Disclaimer: these changes also apply to our non-Texan customers as well. 🤠
  • Minor stability improvements when pulling up Page History in the dashboard. ⏳

🛠 Fixes & Updates

  • If you’ve ever merged a Suggested Edit into your ReadMe documentation, you may have noticed that the Page History would incorrectly attribute the changes to the creator of the page, rather than the person that merged the Suggested Edit. Well this isn’t Drake’s discography! With this release, content updates are properly credited. 📝
  • Like dates (the fruit), our dates (the UI component) didn’t quite sit right with everyone. So, we decided to metaphorically go with an apple and… okay I’ve lost the metaphor here, but what I’m trying to say is… all date and date-time inputs in the API Explorer are string inputs rather than date and date-time picker components. Sorry if your browser was allergic. 🍎
  • We released a Ruby SDK for API Metrics a few weeks ago, and with that came some onboarding docs that had some glaring typos—which don’t exactly inspire confidence during an onboarding experience. Thanks to Ruben, who wrote in pointing those out! This release includes some spelling improvements which should hopefully put your mind at ease. 😌
  • Looks like some of you kids had a little too much fun… because this release includes a few additional guardrails for our previously mentioned API endpoint for applying for a job with us. Be sure to try it out if you haven’t already done so! 💙
  • For those of you that exist on a plane of chaos, our API Explorer is now operating on your level. In other words, our API Explorer file uploader now has support for file names that contain parentheses. 📡
  • We did it folks. We’re officially 100% secure now! Just kidding (probably). But this release includes a lot of little security fixes that get us reeeeaaal close. 🔐
  • Super tiny fixes to the setup and deployment workflow for Custom OAuth Login. 🚀
  • Better support for cyclical references in the API Explorer. 🔁
