September 1st 2020

  • Import Wizard: Show a more detailed error message when parsing an invalid module.json or system.json
  • Added an information banner on the Assets Library page about the upcoming UI revamp
  • Fix a typo about a payment being “perceived” when it should say “collected” (literal French translation does not work well in English)
  • Improve the error message shown when attempting to link a Patreon account which is already linked to another Forge account
  • Add a “Trial” indicator to the Checkout button when creating a new subscription to make it clearer to new users that the Trial is available.
  • Improve wording of the mandate text to authorize credit card charges

  • Automatically retry payment of the last failed invoice when the user updates their payment methods.
  • Prevent upgrades of a subscription plan while the last invoice is unpaid, which was allowing users to bypass the account lock for failed payments without paying the actual invoice.
  • Correctly compare floating point version numbers of Bazaar packages, instead of using semantic versioning comparisons (0.09 < 0.1, even if 9 > 1), which allows to return the correct latest version of some packages

September 7th 2020

    • Complete redesign of the assets library backend to allow new cool features (in future updates)
    • Optimized mass upload of files from the Assets Library page

  • Phase 3 of the new assets library revamp is now in place
  • Added multi-file upload support to the import wizard
  • Added support for renaming and moving files and folders in the assets library

  • Display the upload and import errors in the console when errors occured in the import wizard.
  • Change the assets library manager so that clicking “open in new tab” on a folder or in the path header, will actually work
