Bluyah Development Blog

Version 0.4.6 of the Bluyah application has been released.  As we get ready for our official launch on March 6th, you’ll see these next few releases contain minor fixes to the existing services as we polish up the app.  This release in particular contains several back-end fixes that will make your experience with Bluyah more enjoyable.  They include:

•  A more coherent approach to DNS management [Ticket #119].  The end result is that users should no longer experience lag when going from their sub-domain to www.bluyah.com (or back again).  All primary and sub-domains are now running fully on EC2.
• Problems logging out in IE7 [Ticket #172].  We realize that one of the most-appealing features of Bluyah is its ability to help you get things done quickly.  You log in, do what you need to do, then log out and get on with your other work.  IE had other ideas about how you should be spending your time - so we’ve squashed it’s attempts at workload domination.
• Letting you know when something goes heinously wrong.  [Ticket #69].  We don’t expect it to happen - but half of being prepared is expecting the unexpected.  We’ve enhanced error messaging so if in the off-chance something goes wrong in a big way, you won’t be left staring at a blank screen, clutching your coffee mug and wondering what just happened.
• Google Docs Connector now enabled for hosted accounts. [Ticket #127].  If you use Google Apps for your business then this is what you’ve been waiting for.   All of your spreadsheets at docs.yourdomain.com can now be exported through Bluyah into your favorite formats.
• Enhanced features for Professional and Enterprise accounts [Ticket #150].  Our senior level account subscribers now have much more control over export configuration - including the ability to turn off the Bluyah branding attached to all Maps, Charts and Marquees.  Now why people would want to do this we have yet to figure out….
• Fixed an issue with pie charts where users were not able to properly set the row containing their chart data in the UI. [Ticket #166]
• Enhanced maintenance notifications and defined maintenance window.  You will now see a ‘System Unavailable’ message when we’re performing maintenance on the system.  Additionally, we’ve standardized our maintenance schedule.  For the immediate future, all maintenance will be performed on Saturdays between 9:00 - 10:00 PM PST.  W will post a calendar to this blog and to the website.
