MonthlyReplay (September)

New version 1.8.0 out, what's coming on 1.9.0, new YouTube channel and more!

Hi everyone! 👋

September looks like it will be an excellent month for OpenReplay. Let’s see what we’ve been up to!

To get started, we’ve released version 1.8.0 with the following updates:

• We’ve added new features to the community edition:

  • X-Ray, which lets you visualize up to three timelines simultaneously, each focused on one specific group of issues (like errors, network and performance).

  • Multiple agents can now join Assist calls at once.

  • You can now see past activity when viewing a live session.

• We also made some major improvements, such as:

  • Using VirtualDOM to smooth the playback of large replays.

  • Several updates to our UI to improve the user experience.

  • You can now control the player's progress bar from your keyboard.

And quite a lot of other changes, so check out our release article for more details.
