+summary:    What happened with bors in the month of April
+categories: newsletter
+---
+
+It's another monthly burst of news about bors,
+the bot that tests your code before it becomes the master.
+
+In the [last month](https://github.com/bors-ng/bors-ng/pulls?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=is%3Apr%20is%3Aclosed%20closed%3A2017-04-01..2017-04-30),
+we landed 17 PRs in the bors-ng repository.
+
+
+### Notable Additions
+
+* notriddle [enabled](https://github.com/bors-ng/bors-ng/pull/144) wobserver on Heroku
+* Macarse [fixed](https://github.com/bors-ng/bors-ng/pull/145) some mistakes in the developer documentation
+* notriddle [added](https://github.com/bors-ng/bors-ng/pull/143) docker-based setup scripts to start a local instance on new contributor's machines
+* notriddle [moved](https://github.com/bors-ng/bors-ng/pull/152) the worker processes (the processes that actually do the merging and polling to make bors work) into a separate OTP app from the web UI
+* Macarse [added](https://github.com/bors-ng/bors-ng/pull/147) Credo, and fixed some warnings that it produced
+* notriddle [set](https://github.com/bors-ng/bors-ng/pull/167) the webhook controller to silently ignore actions that it does not care about
+* notriddle [gave](https://github.com/bors-ng/bors-ng/pull/171) bors the ability to manage more than a single "master" branch
