Emoji reactions and notifications for closed issues
Added emoji reactions to comments so you can acknowledge solutions without writing new comments, and introduced notifications for completed and canceled issues to improve communication around shipped features and canceled bugs.
Emoji reaction for comments
We're excited to add a much requested feature which is both fun and useful: emoji reactions to comments. Now you don't need to send a comment to acknowledge a proposed solution, just select š and the original comment author will be notified in their Inbox. The whole modern emoji set is available and anyone can join the party š„³
āØ ProTip: To add emojis to issue descriptions, or to your own comments, just type :emoji-name:
Notifications for closed issues
To make communicating shipped features or canceled bugs easier, we also added two new notifications: completed and canceled issues. Whenever an issue is moved to either status, subscribers are notified.
