If you have any feedback regarding notifications, please feel free to post on Discuss!

June 27, 2016

Mobile UI Improvement

February 19, 2016

New environment variables

feature Frank Wang, Developer

We have added 2 new environment variables, `CIRCLE_REPOSITORY_URL` and `CIRCLE_BUILD_URL`. These variables are available in your builds and give easy access to the URL of your repo on GitHub and the URL of the build on CircleCI. This very handy for adding metadata to automated deployments. You can read more about our environment variables in the Environment Variables section of our documentation.

January 22, 2016

Maven dependency caching

Detecting GitHub SSH Key Audits

feature Jared Volpe, Product Designer

If you have not built a project for a few months, GitHub will sometimes ask you to verify the credentials that CircleCI uses to checkout your project. GitHub does this to keep your account safe. CircleCI will now automatically detect when your SSH keys require verificitation and will put a link on your build page to the GitHub page where you can re-authorize CircleCI's deployment keys.

December 03, 2015

Stopped using user keys for checkout, except for project GitHub users

bugfix Joshua Ballanco

A long-standing bug caused us to check out using users' personal GitHub keys, instead of deploy keys, even for projects without a configured GitHub user. A small number of projects relied on this bad behavior: the fix is to specify a GitHub user for your projects, from the Project settings > Checkout SSH keys page.
