Welcome back to another edition of the Replit Changelog!
In the past three weeks, we merged a total of 914 Pull Requests.
Faster Deploymentsโ
For larger applications, large packages were causing the build phase to take a long time, leading some deployments to time out.
We shipped a change that reduced the deployment time for larger applications by a few minutes.
We also added a nice touch of design to the deployment process ๐จ
Secrets Configurationโ
Digging through existing code to find out how to set the correct environment variables is a time-consuming process, especially for building full stack apps.
After forking a Repl, the key names of existing Environment Variables will now be set in Replit Secrets.
Search and Replaceโ
Navigating large projects requires fast and responsive search. Using ripgrep and crosis, we built the functionality to search your Repls. We then used a variety of streaming techniques to make it fast.

Icons in Account Optionsโ
When you click on your username in the Sidebar, you will see a list of options leading to different parts of the site. We recently added some icons for a more intuitive design.
Extension Logsโ
We added a new section to the Developer Tools pane for Extensions developers. Debugging is now a lot easier during the development process.
Discord Usernamesโ
With Discord's recent migration to adopt usernames, four-number discriminators are slowly being removed from usernames. We now support this format as a profile customization option.
