Version 2.2 is now live!

Post by admin »

Version 2.2 is a mostly behind the scenes update, consolidating code, rewriting some elements to speed things up and introducing database caching to speed load times.

Previously we got your Viewers data from Twitch and processed it - every single time - storing some stuff in memory to avoid duplicating effort too much. The end result was slow and so the purpose of this update was essentially to speed things up. This has (hopefully) been accomplished by adding a database table that stores the generated viewer information. Whozon now determines if it needs to update the data by querying Twitch or if it can just grab the data from the database table, and thus avoid having to perform the same functions again and again. This seems to have reduced page load time by roughly half so far, but it might result in significantly better performance on larger audiences as well, i.e. the results may scale. Sadly I don't get those huge audiences to test with myself :(

This version also introduces some improved security, minor fixes to displays and to the Scheme Editor.
