Read the Docs newsletter - December 2023¶
News and updates¶
We have shipped single version projects to allow projects to be versioned without having translations. This is a long-requested feature that we’ve excited to ship based on our Proxito refactor work.
We improved our webhook security by requiring a secret to be configured for all webhooks. This will help prevent malicious actors from triggering builds and other actions.
We fixed an XSS vulnerability that was reported by an external reporter: Surya Dev Singh. Thanks for the report!
Work continues on Addons, where we’ve added support for explicit EthicalAds placements on documentation pages, and are working on a new interface for configuring Addons.
You can always see the latest changes to our platforms in our Read the Docs Changelog.
Upcoming changes¶
We are working to expand the functionality of our redirects feature to support more use cases. This work is close to shipping.
We continue working on the upgrade to our dashboard notification system, so that users have more control and better context for on-site notifications.
Our beta dashboard continues to be tested in public beta, and new functionality for Addons configuration will only be available in that new interface.

Possible issues¶
Users need to update their webhooks before January 31, 2024 if they are configured without a secret. All users who need to take action should have received email and site notifications about this.
