Reuse Integrations across apps
Tramline now allows reusing integrations from other apps in your organization, and also from within the same app. For teams with multiple apps, access to third-party integrations like Slack and GitHub are often not accessible to the user setting up the app on Tramline. If multiple apps use the same underlying integration, you should now no longer be blocked on your Ops/Support teams for access.
If you only have one app, you can still reuse integrations across some categories. For example, you can reuse GitHub for both Version Control and CI/CD.
Better editing experience for Release Notes
The validations on iOS are much more strict and the error messages are clearer. Emojis and various other character rules are now disallowed, including the < character in particular.
Each input field: Release Notes, Promo Text and What's new now have character count hints at the bottom. The input does not disallow adding more, but only hints at trimming down so you can rewrite as necessary. Additionally, the input areas now also auto-resize as you type.
Custom parameters for workflows
For both Internal and RC workflows, you can now add custom parameters that get passed to the workflows or jobs triggered by Tramline. These can be set in the submission settings. This is helpful when you have the same workflow doing different things based on external parameters, e.g. making a staging build and production build from the same workflow file.
These do not affect the default workflow parameters that Tramline already sends for versionCode, versionName, commitRef etc.
Ensure that you gracefully accept the custom workflow parameters in your workflow job, otherwise the workflow trigger could fail.
