Gele 3.8.1 (October 2022)

New

  • Introduce Queuing System – this allows us to move some of the request work to the background which leads to delivering faster responses and more maintainable code.

Currently the most visible change you will see is that the emails will be sent instantly.

You can go to the Superadmin->Settings->Queuing system and see which tasks are/were/will be executed. You can also re-execute given task (i.e. resend an email to the given User).
Please use the „Execute again” function carefully as it may produce unexpected results to your users. In most cases the correct use of this function includes resolving failed tasks or debugging uncommon behaviour.

 

Gele 3.8.0 (September 2022)

### Attention – Nerd Zone ###
Massive overhaul of the Gele infrastructure and codebase.

The goal of this update is not to create any new functionalities but to strengthen the foundation of the system, which will allow us to shift faster and more reliable code for you.

Some of the things we worked on (since January 2022) are:

  • Analytics/archived data serving update
  • Framework update
  • PHP update
  • Response times optimization (in some cases we managed to reduce the response time 10x compared to previous Gele versions)
  • Simplification of our server stack

Our stats show that we’ve changed more than 4300 files!

We are excited about this major (although for most users – invisible) step in our journey to bring you the most effective and safe tool for your ministry.
