Hi all,
I know that some people are wary of installing beta software in a production environment, so let me give you a quick rundown of what's going to be changing before the release of V1.
We'll be introducing an update system, which will sort out everything for you; migrations, updating/installation of packages etc. The API will be polished off. There are a few loose ends and differences between a couple of the endpoints. General code clean up. There are a few things that have been left in the code from the start - these will be stripped back and tidied up. Notification support; Twitter, emails, IRC, Slack etc. And as an added bonus, customers will be able to subscribe to email updates. More translations.
Except for perhaps the API, nothing should be incompatible with the current master codebase.
What's next for Cachet?
A rewrite using Laravel 5. This gives us a lot of added power and makes maintaining much easier. oAuth support for third-party applications. Displaying component groups on the status page. Support for multiple applications. SAML & LDAP authentication support. Team invitation system. Complete integration to the component tags feature. Status page templates. Incident Templates, templating system (variables etc, to be used by the API).
On top of that, I have a lot more news that I'm preparing for the beginning of V2.
Hope that helps,
James
