Polaris 2021.03 Release Notes

Polaris Platform

• Support for Coverity 2020.03 is deprecated. It will be discontinued in a future release.
• An organization Administrator can review audit logs that show usage during the previous 30 days, whether made through the UI or the API. Audit logs currently record each user login, including username and a timestamp.
• Users can select a custom timeframe when viewing issues over time in Polaris UI under the Projects or Application Summary tabs.
• Users have the added ability to view group membership within the user profile page for user account tracking.
