I just sent this out to the Roxy mailing list.
Hello all,
I’m happy to announce Roxy 1.4 has just moved up to the master branch. That means lots of new features when you create a new project, without having to specify the dev branch.
$ ml new my-app --server-version=6 --app-type=hybrid
Roxy 1.4 added several features related to the REST API, and introduced the rest and hybrid application types. The Roxy deployer now supports additional commands: capture and upgrade, as well having additional capabilities while bootstrapping your project. The documentation has improved, including the beginning of a series of video tutorials about how to use Roxy.
New work will continue on the dev branch as Roxy 1.5. Submit a ticket for features or tutorials you’d like to see. Commenting on existing tickets lets us know what’s important.
