Review Board 3.0.2 Release Notes¶

Release date: January 9, 2018

Usability Improvements¶

The User resource no longer breaks if failing to load avatars for a user. (Bug #4616)

Fixed compatibility with some existing extensions containing JavaScript code.

Review Board 3.0 removed some attributes on RB.ReviewablePageView() that broke some extensions (specifically, reviewRequest and pendingReview. These attributes have been restored.

Fixed a regression where e-mail addresses weren’t being normalized to lowercase, causing Gravatar lookups to fail.

Fixed support for displaying desktop notifications.

Review Board 3.0 introduced support for showing desktop notifications when a review request currently opened in a tab has updated, helping to let users know about the update when they’re not paying attention to the browser. This shipped in a broken state in 3.0, but is now fixed.

Users may see a prompt for enabling notifications when next viewing a review request. This can also be controlled in the My Account page.

Review Board sites hosted in a subdirectory of a domain no longer contain broken links in e-mails. (Bug #4612)

Fixed drag-and-dropping file attachments on a text field when using a local site.

Users can now close their own issues that require verification. (Bug #4610)
Closed review requests now longer show the last comment or review time as the closed time. (Bug #4492)
