AppStudio 9.6.1 is now available. The biggest change is that Deploy to VoltServer now uploads to a Cloudflare server, not our own.
Advantages are
- Faster uploads and downloads
- Only uploads changed files
- Better prepare for potential AI abuse
(and more)
The VoltServer deployment feature now publishes through Cloudflare Pages instead of hosting files on our own servers. VoltServer remains the feature name; Cloudflare Pages is the third-party hosting platform. Cloudflare’s service is currently available at no charge for this use, subject to its terms and limits. The deployment workflow is similar to before, and now uploads only changed files.
To use it, you need to enter a Cloudflare Account ID and API key into the revised Preferences/VoltServer tab. Instructions for getting those items is available on the same tab. After that, it works very much the same as now. The Cloudflare service is free of charge.
Here’s what is new and changed:
- VoltServer: now deploys to Cloudflare, not its own server.
- VoltServer: New wiki article on setting up Cloudflare.
- Deploy Dialog: QR Code now displays properly.
- Deploy Dialog: icons positioned properly.
- Code Window: Right click menu not appearing after a long session is fixed.
- Samples: Unneeded files removed.
- Updated numerous libraries
There are some breaking changes:
- Apps deployed to VoltServer need to be redeployed.
- Apps deployed to Cloudflare will have a new URL
- VoltServer Storage is deprecated. (Almost no one was using it)
- VoltServer Users is deprecated. (Almost no one was using it)
