• We now handle missing .gitmodules more gracefully, if someone has deleted this file for some reason.
• Explicit "Auditors:" now automatically receive the initial email.

• Fixed an issue where author and committer emails were not taken into account when associating Git commits with Phabricator account.
• There is a new event emitted during author lookup that you can handle to improve Phabricator's ability to resolve authors and committers more simply than the old parser override mechanism (that mechanism is going away soon).
