CritterWatch will have its 1.0 release tomorrow (Wednesday, August 19th) just in time for a live stream on YouTube to show just the user interface part of CritterWatch. Today though, we finally got one last RC.10 release out for some much delayed feedback.
We made a large amount of changes to optimize performance based on early customer feedback as we jumped right into the deep end of the pool and started by integrating CritterWatch into literally the single biggest Critter Stack system that we’re aware of.
This release candidate basically got us to what I expect the final product to be for 1.0, minus some user interface feedback and polishing at the last minute.
CritterWatch will require you to be running basically the latest of everything:
Stack: Wolverine 6.29.0 · JasperFx 2.52.0 · Marten 9.28.0 · Polecat 5.19.0 · Fisher 0.9.2 · Weasel 9.24.0
Three stores, one console
CritterWatch runs on Marten/PostgreSQL, Polecat/SQL Server, and — new in this release —
Fisher/SQLite:
| package | store | database |
|---|---|---|
CritterWatch | Marten | PostgreSQL |
CritterWatch.SqlServer | Polecat | SQL Server |
CritterWatch.Sqlite | Fisher | SQLite — a file, no server |
The SQLite flavour needs no database service at all, which makes it the cheapest way to try the
console or to run it beside a small deployment.
Underneath, CritterWatch.Services is the store-agnostic core, compiled once and referenced by all
three.
