Since you’ve all been so good to us this year, we decided you deserve a little extra holiday gift!
Presenting: Holiday Solitaire! A little gift from the Forge team to kill the boredom. See forum post here for more details!
December 20th 2024
Bazaar “Featured” sorting algorithm! This replaces the old default which was named “Relevance”. The algorithm aims to highlight both new packages as well as popular old ones, and will spread out Marketplace packages so that one creator/author doesn’t get multiple placements in a row. Currently, free packages are still sorted as they were with “Relevance”, where the most popular packages are sorted first. We will be tweaking and improving the algorithm over time to make it even better!
Added compatibility indicators to Bazaar package cards and full views! These show up as little icons over the cover image in package cards, and in the full view as an alert and new information below the install button. These should take a lot of guesswork and clicking out of figuring out whether a given package works with your Foundry version.
Bazaar package data delivery optimizations! We’ve made some significant improvements to how the Bazaar package data is delivered to you which make the Bazaar much faster to load.
Fix a bug causing the Bazaar to sometimes scroll back to the top after a full package view was opened.
Fix a bug causing Bazaar package card sale banners to be hidden by the cover image.
