Good morning. How can we actually read the references given in the release notes, e.g. YDA-XXXX? Is this a local system accessible only to UU employees? Why to reference these here if external users cannot read them? Thanks in advance.

Good morning,

We unfortunately can't make this issue tracker publicly / widely accessible because of organizational reasons.

We share these references so that people who have access to the issue tracker can look up additional information, and other stakeholders have the unique IDs of issues so that this information can be related to information about issues in other communications (e.g. in issue discussions on Github).
