What’s New

Great new quality update for you this week, with tons of fixed and improvements!

We have greatly improved the project manager and project settings, to allow you to easy transition from different hosting types and project folder structure!
Now you can easily go from no hosting, to Firebase for free hosting and then to Heroku for NodeJS support!

Also the long anticipated JWT support is now added! You can now fully authorize external API’s or OAuth2 with JWT tokens!
So you can empower the Google Service Accounts for example to use securely their services or API’s
See Google Service Account Authorization with JWT

Project Settings

• NEW: Now you can fully change the hosting type on existing projects!
• Easily switch from basic project to Firebase, Heroku or Docker hosting afterwards!
• If a new folder structure is required and a different web root, it will be all auto converted!
• NEW: when changing the web root, for example when switching from plan to NodeJS projects, you can choose now to move all existing files to the new project structure
• When choosing to switch model to NodeJS - the web root folder is now automatically changed to /public and a migration option is given as explained above
