3B Portals & Mobile App version 1.20 changelog

New

• Portals loading speeds on desktop have been optimized, and in some cases, loading can be up to 100x faster due to a better caching mechanism.
• Mobile apps loading times are up to 70x faster.
• We are now using IndexedDB web api for cache management across the Portals application.

Changes

• We will cache pages content for 168 hours. This means, that once a user has accessed a portal, they will be served with the state of the portal for 168 hours after which, the system will auto-bust the cache and load the latest version.
• We will cache page data (e.g. merge tags on a portal page) for up to 2 minutes.
• We will cache portal components for up to 168 hours.
• We will cache portal styles/scripts for up to 168 hours.

Deprecated

• We are deprecating the "Disable Caching" checkbox on the Page record.

Notes

• Since we are introducing a new caching mechanism, portals/mobile apps should only be distributed once fully built. If changes are applied to a portal/mobile app, the changes will not propagate for up to 168 hours. A quick fix is to clear the user's browser cache.
• Due to the way caching works, initial loading times might still be long. This is normal behaviour.
