                        Hi! 

graphql-ruby 1.7 is out in the wild, and here are some new goodies to try out: 

GraphQL::Subscriptions, an early implementation of subscriptions, with a concrete implementation on Rails 5's ActionCable.
GraphQL::Tracing, a new system of low-level hooks with plugins for AppSignal, New Relic, Scout, and Skylight. This is a replacement for graphql-pro monitoring.
GraphQL::Backtrace, a new plugin for adding debug context to unhandled errors 
Bidirectional pagination for Relay connections, on an opt-in basis
More features and fixes, including improvements to context, arguments, and schema filters, described in the changelog 

graphql-pro has also seen some updates: 

Authorization improvements: support for namespaced Pundit strategies and special auth for persisted queries
Stable cursor improvements: bidirectional pagination support and support for conflicting column names across joined tables 
Monitoring is deprecated: use GraphQL::Tracing instead and please open an issue if you find anything missing!

A recently-added JavaScript project, graphql-ruby-client has some new features as well: 

The sync command for persisted queries now accepts --add-typename for better compatibility with Apollo Client 
ActionCable clients for subscriptions with Relay Modern or Apollo Client

Will you be at GraphQL Summit later this month? Drop me an email or tweet so we can be sure to say hi during the conference!
