We support GitLab, GitHub and Bitbucket cloud integration and now have in-memory queuing:

• Support for cloud integration has been expanded to include GitHub, GitLab and Bitbucket

• In-memory queuing available. Select which component to send a message to in Lua without logging the message - sent in-memory versus through the queueing system. Useful to improve performance and minimize logging messages unnecessarily.

• Notifications system nearly complete. Target components with tag matching and RegEx is supported in the log contains notification rule.

• Same features are included in Log purging.

• Git settings have been split up into system level concerns (found on the About page) and per user concerns (found on the Git page).

• The dashboard has a section for defining filter tags. This makes it easy to apply values to the search bar. The intention is to set up integrations with tags that make it easy to flip through different integrations. They are stored on a per user basis.

• Tooltips are improved and have been redesigned.

• Improvements to stability

This release focused on performance optimization and refining the permissions system:

• By caching the file handle for the journal and the iguana service log files, we were able to substantially improve the performance of the queuing system.

• Roles have been broken apart into user roles and component roles. User roles reduce the work needed to apply default, wide sweeping permissions. Component roles are intended to be used to be used on a subset of components that require more specialization in their permission rules.

• Notifications features have been expanded to include the rule ‘Log Contains’ to leverage default or custom iguana.log() statements as well as being able to set limits (just like Iguana v6). We have also included the ability to set a priority level (High, Medium, Low) to each notification rule. The notification system is in beta and is still actively being developed.

• Many improvements have been made to the overall stability of Iguana X.

• Additionally, there have been improvements to the usability of the Dashboard and VDB files.

This release focussed on improvements to how Iguana handles external users for protocols such as LDAP.

It also contains improvements to rendering links in component cards and support for tags with the Notifications settings screen.

This release focussed on Iguana X Users and Permissions to further secure and streamline access to and within Iguana X.

• Now uses a Role based permission system - Users are now given #Tag Rolesto assign permissions to both Iguana system and component controls.

• ComponentTags have moved from the Description to the a separate Tags field in the Component Cards to provide more clarity and to give users more tools as it relates to tagging (filtering the dashboard, notifications, log purge rules, #autostart, etc.).

• External Authentication using LDAP and Active Directory can now be implemented with a LDAP Authenticator Component for centralized and streamlined user management. This component is currently in beta.

Iguana X Licensing is now implemented - see Licensing Iguana for using Iguana as a trial, registering Iguana and using our Members Account to manage your profile and licenses!

Custom Fields

• Custom fields (<instance_directory>/configurations/fields) and component configurations (<instance_directory>/configurations/components) stored locally on the server in configuration files are now encrypted.
