- The ability to mark issues and pull requests as unread, making them reappear in notifications.
- Automatic linkification of branch, issue, and pull request references, as well as URLs found within code.
- A 'Releases' and 'Compare' tab for repositories.
- Enhanced visual elements like user avatars for reactions and a sticky header displaying the current filename in pull requests.
- Improved usability with a quick edit button for README files and navigation enhancements, such as a search filter for all comments made by the user.
- Functional improvements, including options for viewing diffs without whitespace changes and easy copying of file paths and gist files.
- User-friendly adjustments like moving destructive buttons away from primary actions and automatically expanding the news feed on scroll.
In addition to these features, Refined GitHub also addresses several annoyances by removing unnecessary tooltips and hover effects, as well as enhancing the commenting experience. This version continues to build on the extension's goal of making GitHub more productive and user-friendly, responding to the needs of developers who rely on the platform for collaboration and project management.
As the tech landscape evolves, tools like Refined GitHub play a crucial role in optimizing workflows, and this latest update reflects a commitment to continuous improvement and user feedback.
