Description

Kickoff video for 13.11 highlighting some usability issues for Composer, Generic packages and the UI

A

Hello, I'm tim, I'm the pm for the package stage at get lab, and today I'm going to be highlighting a few of the features that we have upcoming for milestone, 13.11, which is scheduled for release on april 22nd 2021.

A

So I have a few features that I'd like to highlight. The first one is related to the composer repository so a few months ago, composer launched v2, which has performance improvements as well as support for some additional metadata fields.

A

This issue will add support for v2, so for those of you out there who have been blocked from using the new version of composer and taking advantage of some of the performance improvements, this will help you.

A

The second one is also related to composer, and this is actually adding support for using the preferred source and preferred install when publishing uh or when installing composer dependencies.

A

This is another popular issue that has prevented a bunch of you from actually being able to use the package registry to publish and install composer dependencies back a few milestones ago, we launched support for a generic package type, so you could publish any type of file that you want to your registry, but it didn't support semantic version tags, which is a problem for many of you that want to tag these files as semantic versions, so you could tie them to a specific release.

A

This issue will resolve that so you'll be able to use semantic versioning with all of your generic package. Uploads uh one last change. I'd like to highlight is just adding the ability to share a filtered view of your package or container registry.

A

You can't currently do that today, it'd be nice to be able to share a quick filter view with your teammates uh to ensure that you are using the correct uh dependency or image so it'll, be a nice usability improvement that we added this milestone. Okay, that that's it! That's all the issues I wanted to highlight. uh If you have any questions you could reach out to me at trizy kidlab.com, and I look forward to working with you.
