Hey all, I would like to share that versions 10.5.0-alpha.1 and 13.2.0-alpha.1 of the URL Tracker for Umbraco 10 and 13 respectively have just been released. These versions are very special: I've reimagined the URL Tracker and turned it into something very beautiful. This started about 1 year ago and although the project has been shelved for a while, I've finally pushed through and gotten this first alpha version out. Some highlights include:
- A fresh new UI that makes you think: "Wait, is this not native Umbraco?"
- The UI has been improved to make space for growth in the product.
- Cleanup routines ensure that your database no longer clogs up after a while (finally! 😱 )
- More thought has been put into the user experience to make redirect creation and editing nice instead of scary
- A clever classification and scoring mechanism on the 404s makes junk disappear and emphasizes the things that actually matter.
- statistics and context 📈
In classic first release fashion, the UI of this alpha version seems to be missing a few colors (probably because of a version mismatch in the UUI library) The tabs are fixed in alpha version 2 🙂. I'm quite proud of this achievement. Obviously you should make a database backup before you update :D
