Some months ago GitLab started enforcing an expiration time of two hours for all of their OAuth tokens.
Unfortunately this broke the integration with our application, so your OAuth tokens may have expired. OAuth tokens are used to interact with the GitLab API, for reporting the status of merge requests, creating webhooks, and listing repositories. In order for Read the Docs to have access to new fresh tokens, you need to re-connect your GitLab account. You can do this by:
Deprecation of the git:// protocol on GitHub
- 01 March 2022
- Cuenca, Ecuador
Last year, GitHub announced the deprecation of the unsecured Git protocol due to security reasons. This change will be made permanent on March 15, 2022.
At Read the Docs we found around 900 projects using a Git protocol URL
(git://github.com/user/project
) to clone their projects.
To save time for our users, we have migrated those to use the HTTPS cloning URL instead
(https://github.com/user/project
).

A time ago we introduced a new feature to help users to automate some tasks on Read the Docs. Automation rules.
If you manage a project with several versions, you may have noticed that Read the Docs doesn’t always activate your new versions 1. If you require to do any action over a new version, you’ll need to log in your Read the Docs account and manually do so.

We are happy to announce the new version of the Read the Docs configuration file (v2).
If you are a recurrent Read the Docs user, chances are that you’ve configured your projects using a .readthedocs.yml file.
