Release Notes for 5/18/2012

Here are the notes for this week’s release:

Pull Requests

• We’ve added the ability to see the snippets of code where a user commented inline in the discussion of pull requests.
  
  
  
  You can also add another line comment directly from the discussion area, rather than navigating to the code diff viewer.
  
  Note that there’s currently a known issue where the line associated with the comment isn’t being properly differentiated for existing pull requests (the line in the middle of each diff preview should be bolded). Apologies for the inconvenience!
  
• As part of this work, we also took some time to clean up our diff viewer UI to remove the dots and introduce a new color scheme where green is used for added lines.
