v5.0.0 – 2018-01-18

Breaking Changes

• The new webhook proxy introduced in 4.0 is now the default (#391). Support for localtunnel has been removed and will no longer work in development. To update your existing Probot app to use the new webhook proxy in development:

  • Go to smee.io and click Start a new channel. Set WEBHOOK_PROXY_URL in your .env to the URL that you are redirected to.
  • Update your GitHub App to deliver webhooks to the webhook proxy URL.
  • Run $ npm install --save-dev smee-client to install the new client
  • Run $ npm uninstall localtunnel to remove the old client
  • Run $ npm start and your app should work just like it did before! 🎉

  See the development docs for more information. If you still want to use localtunnel, you can install it manually and run lt --port 3000.

Enhancements

• Properly handle async errors in express. (#384)
• Add DISABLE_STATS option to disable the /probot/stats endpoint that is available by default. For popular apps, this endpoint can be expensive to generate. (#392)

Extensions

• Check out the Config extension for sharing configs between between repositories from the team at Sentry. (#390)
