Sleeper Updates
December 15, 2009

Based on some great user feedback, this update was primarily focused on polishing and improving the user experience, as well as repairing some bugs that cropped up.

  • We repaired the 404 & 500 errors.
  • The new default environment runs all tests when in a development environment, and no tests when in a production environment.
  • We worked on the welcome flow of helping users get the Rails plugin installed.
  • All updates are now run through Rails Metal - we’ve been facing some performance bottlenecks and we want to keep our early hosting costs lean.
  • Weekly emails will be going live this week.
  • Ignore and resolve works on suggested columns now.
  • For the next few days, we’ve opened up public registration. We will be locking it back down shortly, so get your accounts quickly, while you still can!

  • HTML Emails
  • Realtime alert email & weekly digest emails!
  • Overall Scalability Report and background report generation.
  • Bugfixes to graphs.
  • Alerts now have a “rest time” of 1 hour, and are calculated to be less sensitive to single update load spikes.

  • PostgreSQL support for explaining.

This update is accompanied by a new version of the sleeper-rails plugin, which is now at 0.21.
