We will monitor the situation closely and update you when there is a resolution to the problem.

No other regions have been affected by this issue.

I want update you that we are in the process of updating all the regions with updated libraries.

The main change is that emails for new developer and user accounts will now store emails with all characters store in lowercase.
We have received feedback that people could not remember their email casing. This caused frustration.

To be clear, we are still supporting full case sentivity for passwords. Nothing is changing there.

We also changed how authKeys work. We no longer update the initializeCanelaDB handler in your apps. This model has been deprecated. This change alone will prevent the errors related to not being able to decrypt your config file. In the past, the key used for encryption was changing based on the last signed in user in your app. This could make it difficult to recover from.

What else are we working on for the near future?

We are reworking our APIkey system. The update will prevent sign-ins from different apps that use LiveCloud on the same computer from changing the API key forcing authorization again.

The downtime should be minimal with most of your clients not even noticing.

Please respond here if you have any questions.

We recently increased the compute, RAM, and SSD storage on every region.
This will provide much needed capacity for both LiveCloud and Appli users.

We are just a few days off from having dedicated forums for Appli.io.
Until then, I am posting relevant Appli news here.

Per our presentation for the LiveCode conference, we are happy to provide 45 days of free access to Appli. The free account is equivalent to a Mist LiveCloud Account in terms of space.

No credit card is required to play with Appli as this time. Please use the code: 45DAYAPPLI

If you have any questions, please let us know. I'll post again once we have the new Appli forums in place.

Appli is a new front-end IDE to LiveCloud that aids you in making desktop and mobile apps. You can ship your apps without a developer kit from Apple or Google. We provide a player that your clients can download from both app stores. Of course, if you need a standalone, you will be able to do that too.

Appli provides a modern IDE for making apps. You do not have to worry about the complexity typically found in mobile app design. Appli solves the various screen sizes and dpi differences for you. Appli ties in with LiveCloud providing a native database. This design allows you to bind your data to your app elements with ease.

Appli will come with a no-code, low-code, and high-code feature set. These features will allow you to build projects faster than ever. Should you need more power, you can use the powerful LiveCode language to fill in the gaps as needed.

Appli is still under development. We have a single-page site to get you thinking about the great things that are coming. Check it out at: appli.io. We expect to have an open beta in November.

The goal is to provide a session and a workshop at the LiveCode conference in April. We hope to see all of you there!]]>

We are making some major changes to our blob architecture. As a result, we will need to build a migration tool for our users to convert current blob objects to the new format. We will also be adding additional keys to the cdb_blob table. We would like to have a better understanding of how you are currently using our blob feature so that we can build a migration tool that make sense for all of you. Currently, we are leaning toward two possible solutions:

1. Having the migration tool built into LCM for manual migration.
2. Automatically migrate the current blob object to the new format on any relevant blob cloud calls. 

We would appreciate any inputs that you might have.

The update is useful if you use cdb_updateUserAccount to update your users log in passwords.

After a successful password update, the CanelaDB will automatically update the auth system. In previous versions you would have to force your users to log in again to get the same result.

Per Stam's post, I can see that our documentation for this command needs more information. We will get to work on that today.

Bug fix: We had a rare but possible issue with one of our internal indices that tracks the tableName references to the tableID. It was possible for the cdbCache Table to have two references in the index. This issue could cause an app to fail to sign in when the credentials were correct.

Bug fix: We now insure that the config file is updated on disk when an appropriate change has been made to the database configuration. 

Bug fix: There was a bug that would not allow you to sign out of LCM from the Accounts screen.

Improvement: We added a new API - cdb_autoSetupAuthKey(). This API will allow you to place your initializeCanelaDB handler (from your exported sdk) to be placed anywhere in your app. Before, you had to place that handler in your mainstack script or the script of card 1 of your mainstack. Please see the online docs for details on how to use this API (https://docs.livecloud.io/AutoSetupAuthKey/).

Our team remains very focused on Appli. Appli is our front-end design tool for making database apps. Our progress has been tremendous. In the last few months, our new IDE has become very clean and robust.

What kind of progress have we made? We have added the ability to create and test apps on a simulator and a mobile device. This feature alone will cut down the development cycle because you can forgo the need to compile and transfer your apps. You save your work and press a refresh button on your phone to see your updates in real-time. You are updating your actual app on a mobile device without having a developer account and app store experience.

Appli comes with a completely responsive design system that is easy to use. You can build your app for any size phone, and it will look pixel-perfect on all phones, no matter the size and aspect ratio.

We have also been working on our Appli elements (complex controls) by improving their functionality and performance. Each element solves anywhere from hundreds to thousands of lines of code automatically. Once you draw your element on the playground, the element is ready for action.

Appli takes full advantage of LiveCloud. Drag a CSV file onto the playground and have Appli automatically store the data in the cloud, build a table for you, and bind your data in seconds. Save your work and test on your phone. You will notice that the table automatically manages key features like editing your data, sort columns, rearrange columns, and rearrange rows. You can decide which columns to make visible. Buttery smooth scrolling on mobile is managed automatically for you. Pull down on the table to refresh your data. Your table can display gigantic amounts of data with its cache system that streams data as you scroll. It looks amazing!

Appli solves so many problems elegantly. It is fantastic that we will have another option for developing apps. All of this work intimately applies to LiveCloud and CanelaDB. Our database and cloud architecture is the meat of the Appli framework. Your apps are indeed databases in the truest sense. You no longer need to think about your app's file and folder architecture. Instead, you get to focus on the UI/UX in a way never before possible.

What types of apps can one create with Appli? We plan to rewrite LCM and NurseNotes in Appli. I can see our productivity increased by not having to manage the UI/UX in code. It also will allow us to release a version of LCM that can run on a tablet and phone.

When will Appli be released? That is the age-old question every software team wishes they could answer accurately. We are planning to go into closed beta this April. We have been demoing our progress and eliciting feedback with a unique group of people over the last few months. We will know more after these champions have had time to kick the tires.

What does all this mean for LiveCloud and CanelaDB? We have been improving LCM behind the scenes during Appli's development. We will soon release new under the hood improvements. We have a few new features and enhancements that we think you will enjoy as well. Mac developers will soon be able to run LCM as a notarized app. We did a lot of work on our app update system. This intense refactor will allow our software to work with modern OS requirements in the future. 

We have some big plans for LiveCloud that will allow more collaborative work. Imagine being able to invite another person to access a project on your account for collaboration. Soon you will be able to link your blobs externally to other apps. Our recent refactor of our internal ordering system added a new level of robustness.

Appli would not exist without LiveCloud. Thus, LiveCloud is more important to us than ever before. I hope this information is informative and helpful to you. Please comment below if you have any thoughts or questions.
