Spotlight
Spotlight testing is now configured per repository instead of globally - that means you can control workspace isolation per-project.

Spotlight is a useful feature for managing complex developer workflows - it allows you to run a single instance of your project and hot-swap branches, rather than running multiple branches in parallel.
The unreasonable effectiveness of HTML
We've added HTML previews. Thanks Thariq for the inspiration!
Automerge
You can now automerge PR's so they merge when CI passes.

Merge queue status
PRs in the merge queue now show their queued status in the git panel.
