+**Bug fixes:**
+
+ * Git branches study improved\
+   Previously, while the branches study was running, the `branches` field
+   remained empty or partially filled until the study was completed,
+   leading to incorrect data being displayed on the dashboard. With this
+   change, the branches field is updated only after the study has
+   finished.
