The Spine May update is out now with many, many bugfixes and small improvements all over the place!
Spine 1.31 doesn’t contain any new features, but focusses on fixing some problems in Spine were either newly introduced in Spine 1.30 last month or were present for a longer time.
Already released inbetween was the new mechanism to support more fileservers. And thanks to your great support via Paypal and Patreon and our new partner Lucas de Letter [ParuSoras] we already increased our server capacity. You should have noticed way better download speeds for the last weeks already.
Sadly the new server also caused some problems for some of you, probably due to the http requests instead of https. We now added a fallback mechanism there to use the main server in case a download from the additional server fails and also added some self-signed certificate there, that actually should work as well and might solve the base problem. We’re not 100% sure though as our tests already worked fine without that certificate, but as they still work with it it should at least not be worse now.
For our Patrons we now have the option to link your Patreon account with your Clockwork account in order to get your benefits. All you need to do is login on our login page, click the “Link with Patreon” button, accept it and you’re done. When logging in again (that’s not done automatically right now after linking!) you should see the Spine badge in your profile. We will improve it soon and also while doing the UI overhaul update the profile in Spine to show it there as well… and make profiles of other users visitable.
If you encounter any problems, please let us know so we can have a look at it. Also try to provide as much information as possible like your last steps and log files.
