# Changelog
## Surveys (Beta)
January 8, 2025
Developer Experience Surveys (Beta) enables teams to gather valuable feedback about their development processes. This new feature combines with our existing metrics to create a complete picture of team health and productivity. Managers can now track both data-driven measurements and team sentiment in one place.\
\
Interested teams can [reach out to support](https://growth.usehaystack.io/n/schedule-booking/370714/W9xn7L) to get started.
### MS Teams Integration (Beta)
Haystack’s MS Teams integration sends real-time alerts for blockers, progress, risks, and SLAs. Alerts include issue status, bug SLA risks, PR link issues, sprint overcapacity, mid-sprint reviews, cycle completions, release notes, and epic completions.\
\
Interested teams can reach out to support to have it enabled. To integrate, go to `Settings > Integrations > Alerts` and click `Connect MS Teams`.
### Dynamic End Date in Reporting
You can automatically update the 'End Date' for your reports. By setting a fixed 'Start Date' (e.g., October 1st), the 'End Date' will dynamically adjust to today's date.
Dynamic end date is available in [Metrics](https://delivery.usehaystack.io/hub/metrics) and [Reports](https://delivery.usehaystack.io/reports)
**Improved**
* `Expanded Date Range for Epics` (Beta): The `Epics` view can now include the option to filter data by the past quarter. Reach out to our support team to enable this functionality.
* `Improved User/Deployments Management`: A search box has been added to manage `Users` and `Deployments`, along with the ability to change a user's full name and sort by name or access level.

## **Sprint Completion Rate metric without injections**
**November 19, 2024**
Now you can track Sprint Completion Rate excluding injections, which we called Commitment Reliability.

## Hide GIFs from alerts
**September 19, 2024**
Hide GIFs in Alerts
While GIFs in alerts provide more fun during your working hours, we realized that if you use Alerts for a long time, they become less exciting and more of a distraction. If you want to hide GIFs from the UI, do it in T**eam Settings -> Alerts -> Show GIFs** (at the bottom of the page).
**Improved**
* `Settings` we have hidden the "Show member's work outside of the board" in UI and enabled it by default.
* `Integrations` new UI when you integrate Jira. Now it should be easier to understand how to integrate your Jira.
***
## Q2 Summary improvement

**Improved**
* `Q2 Summary` We now hide the epics slide in the Q2 summary if you didn’t use epics for the past quarter

## Labels for PR metrics
**September 10, 2024**
**New**
* `PR metrics labels` Added labels for grouping PR metrics
**Improved**
* `Exclusions` We now hide the excluded information when 0 issues are excluded
**Fixed**
* `Data fetching` Fixed an issue where data fetching was frozen for some users during onboarding
* `Investments setup` Fixed an issue where the priority field would be empty if "High" or "Highest" priorities weren't found in Jira, which broke the investments setup
* `Slack notifications` Fixed an issue that caused removed Slack notification recipients to reappear when multiple entries were removed in quick succession
***
## Faster log in
**September 3, 2024**
**Improved**
* `Performance` Your account now loads faster after logging in
