September 2013 Summaries

Rollbar has introduced a new feature to help track the versions or revisions in which errors are resolved, allowing users to enter a revision or version number when resolving items. This information is then displayed in the item's status history, improving clarity on when the issue was fixed. Users can set a code_version parameter in the configuration options of the notifiers, which can be a numerical value, semantic version, or git revision SHA, to further refine error tracking. Integration with GitHub allows the use of Git SHAs to determine commit relationships, and the inclusion of Rollbar item tags in GitHub commit messages can automate the resolution of items in the correct revision during deployment. This system ensures that reactivation notifications are only sent for versions where the bug is unfixed, enhancing the efficiency of error management.
