Shiprex Just Got Faster and More Reliable!

We’re always working behind the scenes to make Shiprex better for you. This latest update focuses on improving performance, stability, and giving our team the tools they need to keep everything running smoothly. Here’s what’s new:

Key Updates:

1. A Smoother Experience:
   • Updated Look and Feel: We’ve updated to the newest version of some of our interface components (specifically, Bootstrap UI v4.0.2). This means things will look a little sharper, and we’ve fixed some minor bugs to make your day-to-day tasks even easier.
2. Better System Monitoring:
   • Advanced Monitoring Tools: We’ve added some powerful new tools (CakePHP Debug Kit) that allow our developers to get a much deeper look into how Shiprex is performing. This helps us identify and fix potential issues before they impact you. Think of it as giving our tech team X-ray vision into the system! (Note: These tools are primarily for our development team and won’t directly affect your everyday use.)
3. “Undo” for Accidental Deletions:
   • Soft Deletes: We’ve added a safety net! Now, when you delete certain items (like deduction rules or types of additional costs), they won’t be immediately gone forever. Instead, they’ll be moved to a hidden “trash” area. This gives you a chance to recover them if you made a mistake. It’s like having a recycle bin for your data!
4. Improved Plugin Compatibility:
   • Safe Plugin Loading: We’ve introduced a smarter way to load plugins. Shiprex now checks to make sure all the necessary pieces of a plugin are in place before it tries to use it. This prevents unexpected errors and keeps your system running smoothly. This also helps use less time when loading a plugin.
5. Faster Performance:
   • Optimized for Speed: We’ve done some serious under-the-hood work to speed things up. We’re using “caching” (a way to store frequently used information for quick access) and have fine-tuned our database queries. The result? Faster page loads and a more responsive experience, especially when dealing with invoices and reports.

What This Means for You:

While these updates might not be flashy new features, they’re all about making Shiprex a more reliable, efficient, and enjoyable platform to use. You should notice:

• Fewer errors and glitches.
• Faster loading times.
• A more stable and responsive system overall.

We’re committed to continuous improvement, and we’ll continue to release updates that make Shiprex the best it can be. Stay tuned for more
