Today, we updated rBuilder Online with a non-service-interrupting update that improves a number of features.

RESTful API Improvements

As part of the process toward improved API access, we have added HTTP Basic Authentication support to the REST API. (It was already available for the XML-RPC API.) This allows authenticated access to privileged API functions without requiring client cookie suport.

We have not at this time published API documentation for rBuilder Online and have not committed to maintaining a stable API, but calling the API is acceptable use. We are currently developing some initial documentation for getting started using the REST API.

Appliance Content Editing

Unfortunately, our last update broke the appliance editing interface for newly-created appliances. This affected only appliances created after the update. We have now fixed this for all new appliances.

Finding things

The Find feature has been improved somewhat with better search response times once your search has narrowed to less than 100 items. However, there are still further improvements we need to make here to better support find-by-title and find-by-description.

Scrolling

Scrolling behavior in the various list views has been improved.
