Improved error experience when creating a project    

Previously, when users tried to connect their VCS with a GitHub account that was already linked to a separate CircleCI account, they would encounter a status 500 error. This would manifest in the CircleCI UI as an inability to list repositories on the form to create a project and the screen appeared frozen. Users that run into this scenario will now no longer see a frozen screen and instead be redirected to a page where they see an error message telling them remediation steps.

Duplicate check for org naming is now case insensitive    

Orgs that integrate with CircleCI’s GitHub App or GitLab had a check to ensure that the name being submitted did not already exist. We have modified this from being an exact check to a check that ignores the case.

For example, if an org named ‘test org’ has already been created, another org named ‘Test Org’ will not be permitted.

New projects will handle commit statuses for job names with "/" characters correctly    

If a job name contains a “/” character (ie. “foo/bar”), CircleCI will correctly set the VCS commit status for the full job name as opposed to only the part after the “/”. This update applies to new projects created on or after April 5, 2024. Projects created before April 5, 2024 are not impacted.

If your project was created before April 5, 2024 and your job name has a “/” in its name, email sebastian@circleci.com to have the new behavior enabled for your project.

‘Add Security Groups’ dialogue box formatting improvements    

In Organization Settings > Contexts, the dialogue box used to add a security group to a context was too small, not resizable, and displayed security groups in a random order.
