Changelog 2024.08

Monitoring Improvements

We’ve released another round of improvements to Loadster’s Site & API Monitoring, with the goal of meeting or surpassing Speedway in all things related to monitoring. If you’ve been using Speedway for your monitors, we now recommend Loadster instead, but will continue to support Speedway too for the foreseeable future.

The specific improvements this month related to Loadster monitoring are:

• Added a toggle switch on the monitor list pages to quickly enable and disable monitors.
• Clarified the impact of your team’s timezone setting on monitor maintenance windows.
• Clarified hover messages on the monitoring timeline graph.
• Changed the alphanumeric sender for monitoring alert text messages to LOADSTER in countries that support it.
• Fixed a link to monitor cycles in the email notifications when a monitor fails or recovers.

Your Loadster and Speedway accounts are one and the same, and all your monitors can now be found in either place, so hopefully it won’t be much trouble at all to do your monitoring in Loadster going forward!

Other Improvements & Bug Fixes

• Added searching and sorting to the projects dashboard widget, when there are lots of projects.
• Added support for alternate variable syntax in code blocks.
• Added a PDF invoice attachment to the invoice emails, instead of just a link to the invoice.
• Fixed a bug with trailing whitespace in titles affecting renaming things.
• Fixed a bug that prevented downloading JSON data from a test report.
• Increased the size limit of visible response bodies with Protocol Bots from 1MB to 10MB.
