CatLight 2.39 - Azure DevOps compatibility update
New version fixes several issues that can occur for certain Azure DevOps users:

They were caused by the same underlying issues of identifying the current Azure DevOps user, which should now be resolved.
We also corrected the list of necessary permissions that users need to use PAT tokens.
