Changelog

Public beta

We're thrilled to finally open Volta in public beta!

When Volta was still in private beta, all GitHub app installations were blocked if you or your organization were not part of the beta. Now that we're in public beta, you can install Volta on all your repositories freely. To achieve this release, we had to import all of your installed repositories. We're proud to announce that Volta now counts 12k+ repositories with 350k+ issues.

You can now enjoy the full experience of Volta with a simple pricing, free for open-source and 5€/month or 50€/year to access private repositories.

As of right now, we only support billing per user, but we're working on a way to bill per team. It will come along with some amazing features to improve the way you work as a team. Stay tuned!

Thanks to all of you for your interest in Volta! We can't wait for your feedback.

Since the v1.0.0 release from September, we've been working hard to improve Volta. Here are some highlights:

User boards

We've added a new board for users. It displays all issues and pull requests related to the user across all repositories. It's a great way to keep track of your personal tasks. When browsing the board of your fellow collaborators, you will only see issues for repositories you have access to.

Pull requests feed

Issues and pull requests activities feed was already well fed, but to make it as close as possible to GitHub's issue page, we've added commits and corresponding status checks. You can now also see directly from the issue details if a pull request CI has failed with a link to GitHub.

Editor autocomplete

When writing issues and comments, we want users to be able to mention other users, issues and search for emojis. Instead of modals with shortcuts, we've added an autocomplete dropdown that supports full-text search.

GitHub sync

We've made a lot of improvements to the GitHub sync. When importing a repository, it is now 10x faster than before. We also added a retry system for large repositories, if a rate-limit error occurs during your import, it will retry automatically one hour later (GitHub rate-limit is 15,000 requests per hour per organization) starting over where it left off.

We've also had an issue for quite some time with issue and comment reactions as GitHub does not support webhooks for this. Instead of a CRON job that will consume all your rate-limit every night, we've implemented a new system that will re-sync automatically when visiting an issue if it hasn't been synced in the last 12 hours.
