With 2018 almost coming to a close, let's take a look at all the product improvements we've shipped this year.

Xamarin is based on Mono, the open source implementation of Microsoft's .NET Standard. It allows us to create apps that easily run in multiple devices like phones and smart watches. It solves the difficulties many developers face when they’re developing cross-platform apps like different coding languages and UI paradigms. With Xamarin, you can use C# as a single language for iOS, Android, and Universal Windows apps.

These days, the biggest change to software development is the frequency of deployments. Product teams deploy releases to production earlier (and more often). Months or years-long release cycles are becoming rare—especially among those building pure software products.

WordPress is an open source blogging and website creation tool written in PHP and MySQL. It is a highly flexible content management system (CMS) that enables you to build and manage your website using just your web browser. According to a W3Techs survey, WordPress is used by 31.8% of all websites.

Rollbar item stacktrace has a new UI and this change was done to support the new and advanced stacktrace. Users hosting their code on GitHub, GitLab or Bitbucket can now view code context within each frame of the stacktrace!

Magento is the largest open-source eCommerce platform in the world, used by more than 250,000 merchants. While Magento makes setting up a store easier, there is complexity with custom plugins and extensions, and custom site behavior. Sophisticated stores also introduce more opportunity for problems with errors, bugs, performance, and more. A critical production issue might not just cost you a sale, but also customer trust. Errors can affect your business in surprising ways.

Rollbar introduced Versions a few months ago, providing developers a way to easily see whether their most recently deployed code changes are introducing new or reactivated errors. As a follow-on improvement, we've updated our Deploys API so you can notify Rollbar immediately when starting a deploy as well as when it completes.

Symfony is a PHP model-view-controller framework used to develop web applications. The main reasons Symfony has acclaimed fame among the developer community are its database engine compatibility, its faster development and its robust system. These features make it easy to develop and customize web applications.

React Native has recently gained popularity among the mobile app developer community due to its cross platform compatibility, quick development cycle and better user experience. It is easier to develop, build and maintain apps using React Native.

We built Versions for customers who are adopting software development practices like Continuous Delivery. One important habit to cultivate when you're seeking to adopt Continuous Delivery is to deploy early and often. This is easier to do when you have a tool like Rollbar that allows you to see all production errors instantly and quickly prioritize and debug them as needed. With Versions, we're making it even easier for you to use Rollbar to monitor errors from code revisions you've just deployed.
