Let’s talk about the state of play for the quarter. If you missed the [Q2 highlights](https://railway.com/changelog/2025-07-04-recharge#2q25-highlights), the big news is that [The Great Metal Migration](https://railway.com/changelog/2025-05-02-great-metal-migration#the-great-metal-migration) is now [complete](https://railway.com/changelog/2025-06-27-metal-migration-complete#metal-migration-complete) … which means if you’re reading this, you’re now on Railway Metal, which is cheaper, faster, more reliable, and more extensible than legacy Railway. [Prices have dropped](https://docs.railway.com/railway-metal#why) (and we have a [new pricing page](https://railway.com/pricing)). The dashboard is [snappier](https://railway.com/changelog/2025-04-18-dashboard-fixes-larger-volume-migration-support#snappier-dashboard-&-smoother-experience). [Staged changes and merges are faster](https://railway.com/changelog/2025-05-30-faster-staged-changes#faster-staged-changes-and-merges). And [Central Station is faster](https://railway.com/changelog/2025-04-03-railpack-step-support-and-improvements#central-station-speed-improvements). “It’s all coming together,” as they say, and the train is picking up speed. We’re back to shipping new features, new ergonomic improvements, new reliability pieces, and new ways to get you and your team shipping *faster.* Let’s jump into this week’s changeset. 🦘 ## Log Explorer to Priority Boarding We’re pleased to release a new Log Explorer to Priority Boarding. The new Log Explorer is legitimately *packed* with quality-of-life improvements … like, really packed. You kinda have to just use it to see what we mean. You’ll get errors (much) quicker, you’ll be able to copy and download logs, you’ll be able to click-sort by just about any available parameter, and a whole lot more. Let’s see a few examples … **Build failed** Oh no! Your build failed. What can you do? How about an easy shortcut to get right to the error logs in context? You got it! [Video: There’s an ultra-fast new way to see your failed build logs] **Copy and download logs** What if you want to copy or download your logs? Shouldn’t that be made easy? Well now it is! [Video: It’s also now easy to copy and download logs via the UI] **Clickable tokens** What if you’d like to see other logs that are similar to the ones you’re looking at? Just point your mouse to the param and click! [Video: Log parameters are now click-to-filter tokens] **Full log explorer mode** And what if you want to experience the full log explorer mode? Now you can! [Video: The full screen log explorer has nifty new features like pause] To get started exploring the Log Explorer we invite you to explore your [Feature Flags](https://railway.com/account/feature-flags), where you will discover a `New Log Explorer` toggle. Explore away! ## Rapid GitHub Repo Retrieval to Priority Boarding [Image: GitHub repos now load much, much faster] We gotta tell ya — loading your GitHub repos is way. too. slow. — especially if you have a ton of repos like most of us do at Railway. So we went to the GitHub documentation mines and started digging for new ways we could utilize the API to deliver faster browsing results. The early returns are phenomenal — what used to take seconds now takes milliseconds to load. If you’re annoyed by how long it takes to load your GitHub repos in the console, we invite you to head over to your [Feature Flags](https://railway.com/account/feature-flags) and flip the toggle for `New GitHub repos API`. [Image: Flip this toggle in your Feature Flags to access a new speedier way to load GitHub repos] We hope you like it! ## Timestamps and Time Zones [Image: Use CMD + K to find new timestamp and time zone settings] From the department of *Why didn’t we implement this earlier?? *comes a new feature called **Timestamps and Time Zones**! It’s now possible to set your logging timestamps to *relative *or *absolute*. It’s also now possible to set your default time zone. To get started, just hit `CMD + K` in the console and scroll down to `Internationalization`. What are you waiting for, get out there and set those clocks! Have a great weekend (whatever time zone you’re in)! ✌️ ## Fixes and Improvements - We fixed an issue where we sometimes were sending duplicate volume alert emails - We tidied up a few items on the [new pricing page](https://railway.com/pricing) - We fixed an issue when initiating an API token-authenticated `railway up` command
