Technic Platform

v2.1.5

Feb 21 2017

New

Technic Platform is now routing full HTTPS! Yay security!
You can now add YouTube videos to your modpack overview. To do this, go to edit modpack and then "Pages." You will see the new area there to include a Youtube URL which will automatically embed it above your overview content.

Fixed

More fixes for the SolderClient to prevent errors stopping modpack pages from loading entirely.
Cleaned out the database of a lot of orphan modpacks/comments/changelogs that were causing havoc (error wise) all over the platform.
Hidden modpacks will now tell search engines to not index them.
Small bug fixes you won't notice but were sorely needed.

New

We moved our entire infrastructure to Digital Ocean! This update included significant performance improvements across the board for the Platform.

Fixed

Fixed Solder modlist 404 error
Backend system supporting the solder mod list was revamped to better handle errors
Lots of small changes to better track our errors in our backend system Sentry. Most of this will go unnoticed but it helps us squish a lot of bugs much faster
Massive improvements to the mail system so less mail will get lost or not sent.
Platform asset system was reworked to better deliver the platforms images/javascript/stylesheets. This was a huge performance boost.

Removed

Removed the Discord embed from Official modpacks. Our Discord was too big and was killing everyones browsers when it tried to load it.

New

Modpack page editing now parses MarkDown, instead of BBCode. All previous edits will continue to render BBCode until the next time the page is changed.
Technic Status Page - Keep track of the current status of the Technic infrastructure. If any major incidents occur, or if there is maintenance planned, it will be announced on the status page.
Two Factor Authentication! You can now secure your account with 2FA. You can enable 2FA from your "Edit My Profile" area.
This changelog!

Fixed

Fixed an issue where statuses were being double posted on certain pages.
Moved CanVox to "Previous Contributors" on the Technic About page. :(
Fixed security vulnerabilities in the login system. After 5 failed login attempts, users will be temporarily locked out from the login system.
Fixed styling on nested statuses and comments.
Fixed a rare issue where the pagination would disable itself on the modpack list.
Fixed an issue where users couldn't create modpacks unless they had Solder enabled. Whoops!
Removed ugly period from the end of the reset password email.
Force users to www.technicpack.net to that there is no conflicting issues with cookies.

Removed

Temporarily removed the ability to change account emails until a better system can be implemented.

New

Complete design overhaul! The Platform has been redesigned from the ground up to be more appealing and also fix usability on mobile devices.
Fancy new modpack list. Sort and filter quickly through modpacks. The new list also prominently features modpack art. Rewarding modpacks that put in extra effort.
