releases.sh Release Notes

Added

• Selected source histories — Anthropic Claude Code, OpenAI, xAI, Cloudflare, and Vercel changelogs — are now published as indexed dataset pages with descriptions, making them discoverable in search engines.
• Buildnotes (a sibling tool for writing up pull requests and reviews as posts, videos, or slides) is now linked from the footer and the skills documentation page.

Changed

• MCP release results now put the original source URL first; releases.sh appears as a secondary link. The in-app release detail panel matches: "View source" is the primary action, with a quiet "View on releases.sh" in the footer.

Fixed

• Release cards on collection, search, and live-feed pages now link directly to the upstream post when one is available; without one, the title renders as plain text instead of pointing to an unindexed on-site page.

Fixed

• Duplicate entries from re-publishing changelogs — when a source republishes the same content under a new title or anchor URL, the duplicate is now dropped; release candidates, backports, and sibling packages that ship identical notes are linked as related coverage instead.
• App Store "bug fixes and performance improvements" releases no longer receive AI-generated summaries; sources configured to opt out of summarization now have that setting honored consistently on every write path.
• Changelog sources with long publication histories now update reliably — a database parameter limit was causing ingest jobs to fail silently on active feeds.
• Bulk-published releases (via the GitHub Actions publisher or the batch API) now receive AI headlines and summaries; previously, batches of more than 20 items silently skipped the summarization pass.
• Connecting apps via OAuth now works correctly with discovery-based clients — the server's discovery document now accurately reflects the authorization code + PKCE flow that self-registering clients use, so clients that read it before registering no longer fail at the token exchange step.

Added

• Verified-owner badge — verified domain owners can copy a Markdown (README) or HTML (website) snippet from the claim panel to add a "Release Notes Index" badge to their site, linking back to their org page.
• Methodology and data docs — new pages at /docs/methodology and /docs/data explain how the index is built and every way to read it (web, REST API, MCP, CLI, feeds, webhooks).
• Markdown alternates in page head — org, product, source, collection, and docs pages now include a `` in the HTML head so agents and tools can discover the .md twin without guessing the URL.

Changed

• Org overview on the landing page — the AI overview now opens every org's main page, clamped behind "Show more"; it was previously only visible on the /overview tab.
• Atom feed entries use generated headlines — entries now show the generated headline with the version appended when it isn't already in the title, instead of the raw version string.
• Feed "Read more" links to the original post — the link under each release summary now opens the upstream changelog in a new tab; a "Copy link" button copies the on-site permalink for sharing.

Fixed

• /release/.json now returns JSON — the format route was returning Markdown regardless of the extension; it now serves application/json.
• /google-gemini URLs redirect to /google — old org URLs and any sub-paths now redirect permanently instead of returning 404.

Added

• Collection weekly digests — collections now email a weekly summary to subscribers; sign up from Account → Notifications, and new collections have weekly digests enabled by default.
• Weekly digest replay — past collection digests are viewable on the web, each with a week-at-a-glance card summarizing that week's releases and organizations.

Fixed

• Collection, digest, source changelog, and updates pages now refresh automatically when new releases land, instead of serving stale content.
• Release thumbnails in AVIF or MP4 format now display correctly; they were returning errors from Cloudflare's image transform and showing as broken.
• GitHub tag filters (tagAllowPatterns, tagDenyPrefixes) now apply correctly in production; they were only being checked on the local CLI path, so all tags were imported regardless of the configured filter.
• releases list --org no longer crashes when the org or product slug is not found.
• CHANGELOG file viewer now resolves relative links against the source's upstream URL; they were 404ing on releases.sh.

Patch Changes

d6d2c30: The CLI is now built and published from the buildinternet/releases monorepo. Install commands are unchanged; GitHub release binaries and the Homebrew formula now point at that repo.

5deafce: releases list --org <unknown> (and --product <unknown>) now prints "No sources configured." instead of crashing with undefined is not an object (evaluating 'pageItems.length'). The sources client normalizes a bare-array /v1/sources response into the paginated envelope when one was requested, so older API deploys that short-circuit unknown filters with [] no longer break the command.

Fixed

• until date filters — bare dates now include releases through the end of that day; the REST API, MCP tools, and CLI --until flag were cutting the day off at midnight, so single-day queries returned nothing.
• /updates/ pages — day pages, the sitemap, and the digest archive now follow pagination through the full feed history; they were 404ing or truncating once the feed exceeded 100 releases.
• Google sign-in — a duplicate-identity issue left a small number of users unable to sign in with Google; affected rows are cleared and the condition is now rejected at the database level.
• OAuth error page — sign-in failures now redirect to a proper page on releases.sh instead of a raw API error screen; the underlying auth library update also closes a security advisory for an OAuth state / magic-link token confusion issue (any in-flight flows at deploy time will need to be restarted).
