  • CatLight 2.39 - Azure DevOps compatibility update

    catlight · 0 · Posted

    New version fixes several issues that can occur for certain Azure DevOps users:

    • Problems with using PAT token for authentication.
    • Problems with multiple Azure DevOps accounts.
    • The app shows only pull requests assigned to the team, and not the pull requests assigned to current user.
