September release

Thursday, September 3rd, 2009

The September release brings in a long awaited improvement of the Dashboard, which you’ll notice next time you log in. :-)

You’ll also notice the red “What’s new” notice in the top right, which shows recently added features – in this case a “I use Scalr!” link that takes you to your profile page where you can add some information about yourself or your company, and appear on a special Testimonials page. There’s no obligation to participate, but if you like Scalr, it would help others make a decision, knowing that peers have chosen it.

We also added some API methods: GetScriptDetails, RebootInstance, GetEvents, GetLogs, and added the ability to execute scripts with specified revision and parameters.

Plus a couple of improvements:
* Added ability to edit farm role specified security group
* Added Hide terminated instances checkbox on instances list.
* Added ability to view all instances (include non-scalr ones)
* Added ability to set system timezone for clients (Logs, Events, API logs)

And finally, there’s a couple of bug fixes:
* Fixed bug in garbage.php with “select all” checkbox
* Fixed bug with default SSH port (see thread)
* Various bugfixes and improvements
