This quarter we’ve been working on many improvements that will make your life easier when catching those sneaky bugs, and expand Bugfender’s capabilities with some of the most requested features:
- 💻 Improved 1.0 version of the web SDK with automated logging of UI Events and Browser events.
- 🧑💻 API documentation is now available together with an OpenAPI specification file that can be used to bootstrap your API client.
- 🕵️♂️ More search results: Bugfender is now more intelligent when indexing logs with JSON documents, class names, and camel-case strings, allowing you to find certain words more easily.
- ↔️ Log search/filter switch: when searching for some log text in the log viewer you can now switch between seeing all the logs or only the matching logs.
- 🔐 Fine-grained access control: we have added the ability to invite users to individual applications so that you can add, for example, your clients to their application, or manage different development teams in a larger company. (Pro plans and better only)
- 🆕 Bugfender On-Premise 2020.2 launched with all the recent updates included in the SaaS version.
We hope you find all these updates useful!
