Solder v0.7.2.0 has just been pushed live!  Here's the changelogs!

New Java settings.

Note: This requires a migration! Guide: Updating Solder

Modpack developers are able to set Java versions and minimum memory on modpack builds. This will allow the launcher to display a message and check users that are not using the minimum set settings.

The Launcher currently does not support this feature but it will be implemented soon.

Note: Changing Java settings on a build thats already been published requires your modpack users to re-install the pack/build.

Solder v0.7.1.0 has just been pushed live!  Here's the changelogs!

Testing, testing and more testing.

The past few commits have been devoted to testing. We've setup a base set of Unit Tests for Solder to help prevent breaking changes during development. Woot! Breaking less things! The tests are currently being built on Travis CI here: https://travis-ci.org/TechnicPack/TechnicSolder/builds You can actually see the builds happening in real-time if you are curious.

Amazon S3 image support added

The next big change is image hosting, We've re-added support to host your images on Amazon S3 (Simple Storage Service). This can be setup in your solder.php config in your app/config folder. 

Update Checker: Slim and fit

The last change is a big one. We've ripped out the current interation of the Update Checker. It was too monstorous and combersome for what we want in an update checker. It affected performance and was very buggy in its implementation. With our priorities changing for the applicaiton, the checker has been slimmed down to provide you an alert when an update is available, thats it. This should provide a better experience for Solder administrators. There has been no change to the actual update process.

New site and new documentation/wiki!

We have a new site for solder located here: http://solder.io along with the new wiki http://docs.solder.io
