For this article, we wanted to surface our favorite releases from 2018, just in case you missed them.
Quick navigation:
Raygun Crash Reporting
.NET Standard 2.0 and ASP.NET Core 2

Crash by device helps mobile developers understand which devices cause the most crashes—especially useful when you are replicating issues. It’s all about getting context into issues.

GDPR: Self-service user and data removal
The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is a set of rules enforced on 25th May 2018. The GDPR gives EU citizens more control over their personal data. Raygun is committed to GDPR compliance across all products and services.
Brand new Custom Dashboards
In late 2018, we overhauled the Raygun dashboards to reveal a better, more customizable version. This new release saw the introduction of a whole host of updates, including the introduction of cloning functionality, auto-rearrange, and changing multiple error statuses.
We have lots of improvements for the dashboards planned in 2019, so watch this space!
