Release highlights
This is our first release of 2025! It’s primarily a Quality of Life release with many bug fixes, scaling improvements and other tweaks here and there.
The next big feature release is coming very soon, watch this space!
All paying customers can now offer public escrow access to their code vaults
A few months ago we released a big feature set that allowed any user in the world to sign up for free and securely escrow their software’s code.
We’ve further expanded on our code escrow functionality and now any existing paying customer of The Code Registry can let their customers see secure escrow certificates of their synced code vaults.
This is particularly useful if a company develops and maintains business critical software for their customers and want to provide the peace of mind to their userbase that their code is securely escrowed by an independent third party.
Any user can simply enable public escrow access at the project level, set whether to require a password to view it or not, and then they get a unique URL that they can send to their customers.
Their customers can use this URL to view escrow certificates for the collection of code vaults within that project.
The user can also enable code downloads, which means their customers can also download the latest version of their code from those pages too.
We’ll soon be expanding on our code escrow functionality even further by allowing all users to manage related files for their escrowed code, that can be transferred or downloaded securely by customers (e.g.. documentation, guides, etc).

Other changes
More infrastructure scaling improvements
As we start to work with larger and larger companies we’ve been carefully monitoring our resources and infrastructure and have made some important improvements to our reliability and resource scaling.
Improve Ada’s capabilities at the project level
We’ve provided Ada with more information about languages and file types detected across a whole project, to improve her responses to some queries.
Ability to disable all automated reports
We’ve added this option for larger customers who have hundreds of code vaults. Receiving an automated email for each code vault every week or month can be a bit much!
Reports can still be downloaded within the web app if the emails are disabled.
Updated our authentication system powered by Hanko
Hanko released a major update to their secure authentication system which we use at The Code Registry. We’ve updated our code in line with their release.
The major change you may notice is that when you enter your email address to sign in, you can only enter a code (not choose a passkey) by default. You have to click the specific “Sign in with a passkey” button to sign in with a passkey.
This is an intentional change by Hanko to be more inline with the latest passkey security standards.
Bug fixes
- Fixed a bug where developer productivity insights sometimes didn’t display properly based on your subscribed account package
- Fixed a bug that allowed users to add more code vaults than their account package allowed
- Fixed a bug where Ada would look at too much data when asked about security issues at the project level, causing her to not respond
- Fixed a bug where in some cases Ada would use the wrong AI LLM model when explaining (or suggesting a fix for) a security issue, and throw an error
- Fixed a bug where comparison reports capped the number of detected open source components at 10 (even though more were found, it was just a display issue in the PDF)
- Fixed a bug where certain characters or symbols in GIT credentials caused the code sync to fail
- Fixed a bug where Ada’s AI suggested fixes for security issues were not re-generated after a fresh code sync
- Fixed a bug in our security scanner which didn’t automatically mark issues as fixed if there were no results. I.E. if your last scan found 10 issues, and you fixed all 10 and did a new scan, the new scan found no issues but didn’t trigger the auto-triaging.
