How often does a change to GitHub break something in Refined GitHub? about refined-github HOT 2 CLOSED

Over the years GitHub has been pretty stable, generally breaking a host of feature about twice a year, while there's a random breakage every couple of months. The former happens when they rewrite a whole view or rename the classes.

However in the past couple of years we've been seeing more React components that are difficult to target and update correctly. With transitional PJAX the old DOM (and our edits) would disappear and then a "load" even would be fired; with React views (specifically the file/folder views) are now SPAs that update only what's necessary and are hard to select (e.g. no classes or generated classes)

For the other specific questions:

Is it not too bad?

The file/folder view features have been essentially broken for Refined GitHub for a year because they only apply on the first load, not on SPA update.

Is there a way that you track the changes that might be coming, or is it more of a reactive effort to make fixes after we release a change?

Reactive. If GitHub launches a beta version first we have a chance to review and get ready for it. If not, we wait for the bug report.
