As I’ve said before, Launchpad is pretty big. Getting to know everything you can to do in Launchpad can take a while. Of course, there are the user guide, the tour and the dev wiki even has a feature check-list. It’s still easy to miss things. So, I’m turning …
Tim has made a couple of improvements to the way that comments are displayed on merge proposals. The first is pretty simple but makes it far easier to see which merge proposals need attention. Up until now, if you gave your merge proposal a description it would show up as a …
