Since last month I’ve been working hard on getting a few features out the door. They are:
- All new files are now hosted on S3 – Part of the work to make Kernl highly available is to get files hosted elsewhere. When you upload a new version to Kernl, or push a change via webhooks, the deliverable now lives on S3. Existing versions were a bit complicated, so thats going to be a task for May.
- SSL and domain renewed – The SSL cert and domain for Kernl were renewed this month. This should have been a completely transparent change.
- Editable version fields – For plugins, you can now edit a few fields on a version once it has been created. This was a pre-requisite for getting changelogs implemented nicely.
- Plugin changelog API – You can now programmatically add, get, and remove changelog entries from you plugins. Documentation on this feature is available at https://kernl.us/documentation/api#changelog-api and full examples are available at https://github.com/vital101/Kernl-API-Examples
- Plugin changelog tab – The changelog tab in the plugin detail update window is now populated automatically and looks like the wordpress.org version.
So whats on backlog for May?
- Moving the legacy version files to S3.
- Moving the database to its own server + adding a replica.
- Moving Memcache to its own server.
- Analytics
