1.  Update 01 of 06
    
    ## PR reviews post even without a repo mapping
    
    Reviews triggered from the change-review GitHub Action could run and never appear on the pull request – fixed.
    
    Posting a review's check and comment used to require the repository to be mapped explicitly in integration settings. Without that mapping the review ran and then silently posted nothing.
    
    QA.tech now resolves your [GitHub App](https://docs.qa.tech/configuration/github-app) connection directly, so [PR reviews](https://qa.tech/product/pr-testing) post to the pull request whether or not a mapping exists.

2.  Update 02 of 06
    
    ## Filter and identify pull requests by repo and author
    
    Multi-repo projects can tell PRs apart at a glance and narrow the list down.
    
    The Pull Requests view adds a Repo column – hover for the full owner and name – plus a Filters dropdown to narrow by repository or author. Both are multi-select, with "All" and "None" shortcuts per section and a one-click Reset.
    
    Selections live in the URL, so a filtered view of your [PR reviews](https://qa.tech/product/pr-testing) is shareable and survives a refresh.

3.  Update 03 of 06
    
    ## Stopping a chat response stops it instantly
    
    Stop freezes the response immediately and won't let a pending analysis or test run resume the conversation later.
    
    The stop button used to wait on a network round trip before the interface caught up, while the current step's remaining tool calls kept running.
    
    It now stops the moment you click it. If a site analysis, test run or crawl was in flight, it won't quietly resume the conversation afterwards – a short "complete" notice waits in the queue until your next message.

4.  Update 04 of 06
    
    ## Site analyses dig deeper when you point at something specific
    
    Ask about a setting or integration a few clicks deep and the agent goes and finds it instead of reporting it doesn't exist.
    
    Chat-initiated site analyses used to default to a shallow crawl that only reached pages linked from the homepage, so anything nested – settings, billing, admin screens – was out of reach and the agent could wrongly conclude a feature didn't exist.
    
    Analyses that name a target now crawl deeper automatically, which means [test discovery](https://qa.tech/product/web-testing) reaches those pages before the agent answers.

5.  Update 05 of 06
    
    ## Test cases show their linked TestRail or Xray case
    
    A test created from a TestRail or Xray case now carries a badge back to it – groundwork for pushing results there.
    
    When chat creates a test from an existing TestRail or Xray case, the new test case shows a "TestRail 4711" or "Xray PROJ-42" badge in your test lists, linking out to the original case where a URL is known.
    
    Copying or duplicating a test leaves the link behind, so two tests never point at the same external case. Result reporting back to those tools isn't wired up yet – this release only tracks the connection.

6.  Update 06 of 06
    
    ## See what an Xray connection can actually reach
    
    Testing an Xray connection shows the tests it found, not just a pass-or-fail toast.
    
    An Xray Cloud API key is tied to a Jira account, so it can authenticate perfectly and still see none of your tests. Settings → Integrations → Xray now reads back a sample after "Test connection": instance URL, response time, and up to five tests with their Jira keys, summaries and folders.
    
    That makes it obvious whether the connection reaches the right project before you start [pulling cases into chat](https://qa.tech/changelog/2026-08-04).
