Appending ?plain=1 to the url for any Markdown file will now display the file without rendering. As with other code files, it will also show line numbers, and can be used to link other users to a specific line or lines. For example, appending ?plain=1#L52 will highlight line 52 of a plain text Markdown file.

You can now programmatically check the status and resend repository, organization, and Apps webhooks through the REST API, to complement functionality currently provided in the Settings user interface.

Using these new API endpoints, you can now list webhook delivery attempts from the last 30 days, read the status and payload of specific deliveries, and trigger a redelivery if needed.

To get started, see the documentation.
