• v4.3 Changes

  June 29, 2020

  Thanks to @Nevexo, one of the contributors for the project and somebody I know somewhat personally, starting with cState v4.3 there is official Docker support (see issue #119). You do not need to update unless you want to use Docker.

  🛠 There are no other changes or bug fixes.

  👀 Instructions can be seen here.

  🚀 Thank you for the ongoing support! The first remnants of cState were built in 2017 and in 2018 the first stable public release was unveiled. Since then a lot of the changes have been fueled by the wishes and efforts of the community.

  Have a wonderful rest of the day!

• v4.1.1 Changes

  March 23, 2020

  👀 Correct implementation for newly introduced displayName (see PR #100).

  There are no other changes.

• v4.1.0 Changes

  February 29, 2020

  This is mostly a bug fix release, but it also includes badges (like that of shields.io) — an experimental feature that needs to be manually enabled on existing websites and a little feature you can use for accountability that shows how long the last 5 issues' downtimes were (#11 - an idea from July of 2018). You can also add a displayName for a system component as well (useful for systems with similar names in multiple categories]. The German translation has also been expanded to include v4 and v4.1 terms, thank you to my friend Hanna. Because v4.1 has new translation terms, you may need to update your language file.

  Development of v4.1.0 began in late December of 2019.

  The repository currently has 474 stars and has seen a rise in contributors. Most of the code from this release was requested or made by the contributors, so thank you for using and improving cState.

• v4.0.1 Changes

  January 02, 2020

  ⚡️ Thank you to SamW on Discord for getting in touch who had strange behavior when updating from v2 to v4.

  🚀 First release of 2020 (on January 2nd), 433 stars at time of release (13 up since v4.0.0).

  🔄 Changelog

  Introduced consistent site title text color behavior.

  If you do not use the logo, what color should the site text color be?

  ➕ Add headerTextColor: white or headerTextColor: black under .Params.

• v4.0.0 Changes

  December 21, 2019

  cState v4.0 brings many important changes to help you get more from your status page.

  Thank you to the people who keep using cState and have starred it. It feels good to know that I have made something that helps people.

  Development began on: May 1, 2019
  🚀 Release date: December 21st, 2019
  🚀 Stars at time of release: 420

  ⬆️ > ❗ ATTENTION REQUIRED. This version brings many major changes that require changes to your configuration file and more. Please read the migration guide and changelog before upgrading.

  🔄 Changelog

  ➕ Added categories (#8)

  Fun fact: the original issue created Jul 7, 2018.

  1. Every system/component needs a category:

     systems: - name: Gatewaycategory: North Coast - name: Backup Gatewaycategory: Uncategorized

  You can set categories to be collapsed (closed) when the user visits the status page. You can also create a catchall category for components that should not be nested under a category.

  categories: - name: North Coastdescription: The worst one. Or the best one.closed: true - name: East Coast - name: Uncategorizeduntitled: true
  

  You need to have at least one category. Take a look at the example — you can add an Uncategorized category and hide that.

  Simply copy paste:

  params: categories: - name: Uncategorizeduntitled: true
  

  and add category: Uncategorized to every system/component.

  

  🔧 You can now use any color, not just HEX colors, in the configuration file (#83)

  Netlify CMS does not correctly interpret certain color values (most shockingly the defaults). To fix this bug, HEX codes now need the # in front in the config.yml file. You can also use other color types, like rgb(), but if you care about airtight browser support, keep using HEX codes or web safe colors.

  ➕ Added read-only API (#27)

  This feature is enabled out of the box for new websites with the new config.yml file. If you want to enable this feature, look at the migration guide.

  ⚡️ The API will get better with further updates.

  📚 Documentation:
  https://github.com/cstate/cstate/wiki/API

  Informational posts

  You could always make pages with cState, pages that would not show up in the incident history.

  v4 allows you to make pages that can show up in the incident history but are similar to basic pages.

  Informational pages need a title, date, and a boolean of informational: true.

  Design: Auto dark mode (#87)

  

  Thank you to @microsockss for the help with this.

  ✅ If your OS and browser support dark / night mode, specifically prefers-color-scheme, cState will automatically enable a dark UI. This has been tested on:

  • 🏁 Windows 10 — Chrome
  • iOS 13 — Safari
  • Android 9 (Samsung Galaxy S10) — Android (with certain flags)

  0️⃣ By default the .Params.disableDarkMode boolean is set it to false.

  Dark mode uses built-in hard coded colors to ensure contrast and legibility.

  ⚡️ If you use custom CSS, please test this behavior before pushing to production. This feature is enabled automatically when you update.

  Design: Show years in incident history (#43)

  You can opt-in to this new layout with the .Site.Params.enableYearlyIncidentHistory boolean in config.yml. There is no pagination with this system but you can link to years like this: https://cstate.mnts.lt/#2019

  ⚡️ This is a good option for status pages that do not get updated often.
