PPV.LAND Changelog

Changes and updates to the PPV.LAND platform are published here. If you run into any bugs that are introduced as a result of a change, let us know.

Site/Player
- Updated JW Player version from 8.30.0 to 8.36.3.
- If you run into any issues as a result of this change, let us know.

Site/Auth
- Authentication pages (login, register, recovery) have been redesigned.
- Functionality of registration page has been restored. Previously, it would have returned an "internal server error" informing the user to try again later.
Site/Backend
- Some database-derived elements of the site are being converted to use Redis for caching. This is to decrease unnecessary & repeative database queries with Redis queries which are more efficient.
- We're preparing to update client side JavaScript in order to be clean and uniform across the site. No API changes are expected to take place as a result of this.
- [breaking] PPV chat is being prepared for a large update which will re-write how the entire chat system operates.

API/Streams: Streams API now returns all streams with categories. Empty categories, such as those with no streams or streams that have ended, will not be present.
Site/Homepage: Rewrote logic for parsing streams API response. Streams are now sorted categorically instead of being lumped into the "Streams" category.
Site/Settings: Added VIP username effect preview.

Site/Core: Username colors are now randomized rather than being based on the users primary platform.
