patchtrack news

What changed since you last looked: GitHub’s notifications for email.

Every family is compared with a snapshot of what news showed last time. It reports:

  • new series, and new versions of existing ones;

  • state changes, e.g. “reviewed → applied” or “in-next → merged”;

  • each new reply, with what it did: its tag, its “Applied …” line, or the first line of an inline comment.

Then it takes a new snapshot, so the same change is shown once; --peek leaves the snapshot alone. The first run only records a baseline.

--since WHEN compares with the mail as it stood at that time instead of with your last look, and implies --peek. Only mail carries its own dates, so tree movements (queued, in-next, merged) appear through the ordinary news.
