Yearly events are back!​

• "Yearly Events" settings are back in the staff panel sidebar.
• Halloween theme & colors available right now and until November 3rd. After this date, the halloween theme will be automatically disabled (except for the color theme)

Small improvements​

• PLan redirections are now available in Per Server Plans mode.

This is a small update, because something is in the making!

🐛 Bug fixes​

• Fix: When no Google Fonts font name was provided, the frontend would not load. (58c08fd)
• Fix: Staff users not being able to delete users since the new JWT update. (f1a69b)
• Fix: Verification email was not being sent on some instances (4c4017a)

New internal authentication system​

This update makes tokens expire every 72 hours. Which means that every 72 hours, users will need to log back in. While this is more "annoying", this makes the user less exposed to info stealing attacks.

API keys​

API Keys are finally here!

To create an API key, go to your staff panel, then click on "API access". Created keys can access every possible routes. They are the equivalent of the "ADMIN" keys that you might've used before.

Learn more in the API docs.

Other changes​

• Added an internal "email queue" to prevent sending a lot of emails at the same time. This will also allow for new features linked to emails in the future.
• A lot of internal work for a new authentication feature for developers.
• When migrating your instance from Per Server Plans to Resources Sharing, backend will now try to determine an expiry date for servers automatically depending on if they have an active plan or not. That way, when you migrate your instance while you have servers with active plans running, their renewal time will become the expiry time, so no partial refund is needed from you. At the end of the billing period, the server will be deleted.

🐛 Bug fixes​

• Fix: Stripe automatic billing was not being triggered when purchasing a subscription (ea05fdc)
• Fix: Coin shop items were not being created correctly on some new instances, especially when resetting them. (7399cf2)

• Fix: Servers per location pie chart not showing on staff panel (b52efda)

Shadow's Dash joins Ctrl Alt Cat!​

I'm thrilled to announce that after two awesome years of running Shadow's Dash, I've officially registered my company in France Ctrl Alt Cat!

Nothing changes for you, except the fact that the management dashboard has moved from manage.shadowsdash.com to order.ctrlalt.cat. This is where you'll manage your Shadow's Dash instances, but this will also be used in the future to sell other services.

This also means that better invoices are being generated in the PDF format, with more details on the company, as required by french law (loi n° 2019-1479 du 28 décembre 2019).

This can only mean positive stuff for Shadow's Dash, and I can't wait to share new updates with you all.

Thanks for your support!
