Hi folks,
In case you hadn't noticed, we have released brainCloud 5.8 to our Public BaaS. It will be made available to private licensees in the coming weeks.
brainCloud 5.8 has some great new features:
- Classroom Invites - for inviting and setting up a whole class of team members. It will even set up private apps for each student!
- App Calendar - a new calendar view that's great for Product Managers. View Sales Promotions & Redemption Campaigns - and keep track of platform launches, ad campaigns, store promotions, and more. The Calendar is going to be a central part of brainCloud - so stay tunes as we continue to add to it!
- Steam Ownership Checks - our AuthenticateSteam() call can now optionally validate that the user owns the game. Just turn on the option in the Steam settings on the App > Design > Core App Info > Application IDs page.
- IAP Improvements - we've added a new API that allows devs to provide more context for Apple and Google IAP purchases - which in turn allows devs to re-use the same price keys across multiple products in brainCloud. We felt your pain - we hope this helps!
- Push Optimizations - we're constantly monitoring and assessing the system for where we can make improvements - and this release we made significant gains in the Push Notification system - especially when sending notifications to all players or targeted segments.
Those are just some of the highlights of brainCloud 5.8. See the release notes for more info.
So - what do you think? Do you like what you see? Do you have a question? Did we fail to mention your favorite new feature?
Hit reply and let us know!
