We have a couple of great new features and improvements to the OAuth
flow to announce! First off, application developers can now add full
text descriptions and custom images to their applications to help
communicate to potential users.

GitHub account. These views better communicate the identity of the 3rd

API? We have a great set of documentation to help get you started.
OAuth away!
