What’s New
In this update we have further finalized the new App Connect 2.0 core, with all the needed optimizations and fixes of the issues you reported. We already started optimizing and rewriting all the additional components like Autocomplete and there are more coming up!
As this is a huge update of App Connect, we suggest that you do an extensive testing of the beta now and report all errors you find so we can fix them before the final is released.
To learn how to switch easy to the beta testing channel and back see Using Wappler Extensions Channels for Beta Testing
Furthermore as there are many optimizations in the new App Connect for component developers, we have updated the docs about the new App Connect API and how to use it in your custom components.
See Writing a Component for App Connect and Writing Custom Attributes for App Connect
Next we have also extended the Resource Manager so you can define your own custom servers, no matter by with provider they are, as long as you have SSH access.
See Managing Cloud Servers with Resource Manager
As we also greatly improved the Database Docker Deployments, to use a new secure SSH tunneling and allow Wappler’s Database Manager to connect and manage your databases in a very secure way, without having to expose any public ports.
Here is also a guide that explains how this works Use SSH for Remote Docker Targets
As last but not least, the Wappler Local Server for PHP now also supports routing, so you can also fully use and define routes in the Routing Manager.
