Did you ever have a perfect day? Oh you mean you almost did but then it was RUINED when you had to copy a variable manually into a dozen Railway services? We’re sorry! 

Kiss your troubles goodbye because this week we’re releasing Shared Variables to all Railway users.

After making a number of improvements to Shared Variables based on 

 feedback, we’re pleased to announce Shared Variables is now generally available. 

To recap, Shared Variables makes it easy to define a variable at the Project level and consume it across multiple services. 

We’ve also added the ability to promote service-level variables after instantiation and the ability to recompose shared variables within multiple services using templating syntax. 

Email Preferences are now available even when logged out of Railway!

You know how some software companies make you log in to manage email preferences? We hate that! 

You’ll now notice that every email we send now has a link to manage your email preferences without authenticating. We hope you find this useful next time you’re checking your phone and feel like we’re spamming your inbox.

Email preferences are always available in General Settings, so don’t worry if you change your mind after the fact.

New in Priority Boarding is the ability to restart plugins from the Command Palette.
