New release - a few new packages, some steps towards postgres, and forum post previews


Today’s upgrade included a few new packages in the standard server image:

  • OpenSCAD
  • FreeCAD
  • inkscape
  • Pillow for 3.3 and 3.4
  • flask-bootstrap
  • gensim
  • textblob

We also improved the default “Unhandled Exception” page, which is shown when a users’ web app allows an exception to bubble up to our part of the stack. We now include a slightly friendlier message, explaining to any of the users’ users that there’s an error, and explaining to the user where they can find their log files and look for debug info.

And in the background, we’ve deployed a bunch of infrastructure changes related to postgres support. We’re getting there, slowly slowly!

Oh yes, and we’ve enabled dynamic previews in the forums, so you get an idea of how the markdown syntax will translate. It actually uses the same library as stackoverflow, it’s called pagedown. Hope you find ‘em useful!
