ALM 2.6
ALM 2.6 was released on March 19, 2013. The development work focused on two areas: API performance and easy installation.
The API code was refactored, adding the Draper Decorator between the model and the RABL Views. We added caching, using Russian Doll fragment caching as described here. It required some extra work to make this work with RABL and Draper. We also added a visualization of API requests to the admin dashboard, using d3.js and the crossfiler library.
To make it easier to install the ALM application, we have updated and throughoutly tested the manual installation instructions, updated the Chef / Vagrant automated installation (now using Ubuntu 12.04 and linking directly to the Chef Cookbook repository), and provided a VMware image of ALM application (535 MB download, username/password: alm). The VMware image file is still experimental and feedback is appreciated.
An updated version of Vagrant (1.1) was released days after ALM 2.6, and this version now supports VMware and AWS. We will support these platforms in a future ALM release to again make it easier to test or install the ALM application.
This release includes many small fixes and improvements. Of particular interest are the RSS feeds for the most popular articles by source, published in the last 7 days, 30 days, 12 months, or all-time. The RSS feeds are link from the most-cited lists for each source, e.g. here.
