Alpas Updates — 11 March 2020 Edition
Alpas version 0.16.0 has been released! 🚀
View the official release notes here.
Multi-part form support using Pantry, asynchronous support, managing routes in JavaScript, and added convenience methods are all available in v0.16.0.
Since our previous newsletter, we have also launched That App Show, an app for showing off apps! We created That App Show as an exercise to both create a real-world app using Alpas and to learn from our experience implementing to see how we can improve Alpas.
Many of the new updates we have introduced in this latest version come from our learnings from That App Show; including: Pantry for file storage, Notary for social authentication, and Glaze for accessing Alpas named routes inside JavaScript.
