What's New

In this update we are introducing a new and very much anticipated maps component - App Connect Leaflet Maps! It offers great alternative to the pricey Google Maps and supports open source maps like OpenStreetMap and others.

The Leaflet component offers rich maps options, dynamic or static markers, address to location conversion, custom icons, attribution display and much more. See Using Leaflet Maps for more info.

Furthermore we have greatly improved the Resource Manager for working with Cloud Databases like Digital Ocean Managed Database and Server Connect database connections. Also the Project Targets now automatically select to use SSL and CA Certificate when a Digital Ocean Managed Database is selected and use the private connection settings when the web service is also on Digital Ocean.

Last but not least for our PHP friends we are introducing new powerful routing options that our NodeJS users already know and love. Now you can define page and layouts in routing for more flexible hybrid routing and have separate content pages that can be loaded in the main layout page and demand or via direct route.
More to come next week, so stay tuned!
