Release Notes - June 18th, 2020

Updates to the new user experience, conferences, and searching for Available Numbers.

New Features

  • New trial users will now be given a $50.00 credit to use during their trial.
  • We've expanded the Quickstart section of the Dashboard. Users can now follow a few quick steps to send themselves a text.

Improvements

  • We've updated the beep tone that is played to Conference Participants upon entering a Conference and that prompts callers before a RecordUtterance.
  • New users are guided through adding a Verified Number to their account during their first log in.
  • We've added interactivity to the Dashboard's Quickstart section, including click-to-copy API Keys, hiding and showing the section, and marking items as Done.
  • We've updated the styling of our sign up and sign in experience, including improved mobile compatibility.

Bug Fixes

  • Users can now enter a regex search for Available Numbers in the Dashboard without needing to escape backslash characters.
  • Available Number search results are now displayed in the order you’d expect to see them in.
  • Closing and re-opening an account no longer causes issues with regenerating authentication tokens.
