Morph eXchange

  • Users Manager modification. The Users Manager user type has been modified to remove rights over the Account Admin user type. Thus, the Users Manager can add, modify, and remove all other users except for the Account Admin user type. This addresses the issue that a user with the Users Manager role can create for himself an Account Admin user type and elevate his rights.
  • Enhancements to Sign up and add user forms. The Morph eXchange registration and add-user forms have been enhanced with a username-checking feature, to determine if a username input is already in use or is still available. We have also applied realtime error-checking for the password field, to ensure it follows the required format. The error notifications print dynamically without the user pressing the submit button. The same dynamic error-reporting is applied to the confirm password field and the email field.
  • Newsletter subscription. We've added the Newsletter subcription form among the Morph eXchange public pages for visibility and easier subscription.
  • Morph AppSpace un-deploy. An API allows Morph eXchange to update its records while a Morph AppSpace change is requested from the Morph Control Panel.
  • Enhanced AppSpaces Daily Usage date selection. We've improved the interface for the user when choosing which dates to review AppSpaces Daily Usage. One click brings up a calendar for easy selection of dates.

Morph helpME

  • Fixed a bug that makes logging in directly to Morph helpME problematic
  • Fixed a security issue with authenticated cookies
  • Fixed a few bugs involving unsubscribing to Morph helpME. Previously, if an account remove its subscription to Morph helpME, the public facing side remains accessible. This has been fixed so that the site is removed immediately after unsubscribing.
  • Fixed an issue where upgrading a Morph helpME subscription does not immediately reflect in the Morph helpME administration page
  • Fixed an issue where a user's credentials are not immediately updated after launching a subscription from Morph eXchange.
  • Other minor fixes and updates.

Morph eXchange
  • FREE Subscription to Tracks. Morph eXchange users can now subscribe for FREE to Tracks, Doing Things Properly, an open-source, third-party application that we've hosted to help you manage to-dos and tasks. To subscribe to Tracks, log on to your Morph eXchange account, click the Add a Subscription option found in the quick-links sidebar, click the Subscribe option under Tracks, and hit the Choose button in the Choose a plan page. Learn more about the application from the Tracks website.
  • Morph Credit cost per currency. You may now view the equivalent cost of a Morph Credit for the currency chosen in the main Account tab.
  • Support. Under the Support tab, users can now launch the ticketing system to file support-related questions. When you are in the Morph Support site, you may return to Morph eXchange anytime through a "Back to Morph eXchange" link.
  • Getting Started page. We've created a page to illustrate how easy it is to avail of our services. The Morph eXchange experience is as easy as 1, 2, and 3.
Features we have modified:
  • We've removed the option to re-subscribe an unsubscribed application. Therefore, once an application is unsubscribed, all data related to will be lost and the application will no longer launch from the Subscriptions list.
  • We've applied a subscription limit to applications where before it was unlimited. An application such as Tracks can only be subscribed once per Morph eXchange account if the maximum subscription limit is set at 1. Thus the Subscribe option beside the featured application will not appear if it has been subscribed to.
Please check out recently added datasheets and white papers in our library.

Morph Application Platform
  • Tripled Bandwidth. Developers can now enjoy triple the bandwidth that we initially offered. See the Morph Application Platform information page for details.
  • Production Log. Developers can now directly inspect their application's production logs. In the settings page of your AppSpace subscription, click on Prod Logs and select the compute instance whose production log you want to view.
  • Rake Tasks. You may now run rake tasks right on your AppSpace. While in the settings page of your AppSpace, click on Rake Tasks. Select the rake task you want to execute and input arguments if necessary. Click Submit and watch your rake task go.
  • Retired AppSpace Sizes. We can now retire AppSpace sizes. When a size is retired, it will no longer be visible from the sizes drop-down field although existing AppSpaces that are already using it will continue to run under that size. We recommend switching to the next possible size when you find that the size you're using has already been retired.
  • Reserved Subdomains. Previously, when an AppSpace subscription is created, the subdomain assigned to it will redirect to the Morph eXchange homepage if the application is not yet active. We've changed this behavior so that subdomain will now show that it's been reserved for a particular AppSpace subscription.
  • Redirected Domains. Redirected domains, from the start, are only available to paid AppSpace subscriptions. However, we've been making this field available even if the AppSpace subscription is free. This has been confusing for developers on the free plan. We've changed it now so that the field is only visible in subscriptions that have a base price.
  • Change AppSpace sizes without stopping the process. Previously, developers had to stop their application's process before they can switch over to another size. We've changed this so that you won't have to. Change the size anytime you like and we'll take care of the rest!
  • Ruport gem. Ruport 1.6.0 and its dependencies are now available in our servers. Specifically, the following gems were installed along with Ruport: fastercsv-1.2.3, archive-tar-minitar-0.5.2, color-1.4.0, transaction-simple-1.4.0, pdf-writer-1.1.8.
