Jasper Image V1.6 – Release Date!

I have recently had a large number of people wanting to know the exact release date for the v1.6 image. I will release it without the installer, and release the installer separately so it can be used on images that are not mine.

Release Date:
February 15, 2017

I would highly suggest that if there is annoyance; or fix for the next release that it be reported ASAP to the room in our SLACK.

Thanks for your patience,

Matthew Curry

NEW Jasper Documentation!

Hello All,

First, I want to thank everyone that has been patient with me so far in getting these things done one at a time…

I know it is not easy to get some of these things completed without good documentation. So, with the help of a few community members, I have started what is a very rough draft of our documentation. It is neither complete, or ready…. However, we are adding information as we go, so keep a close eye. Even feel free to clone it, and contribute. There will be documentation on how to do both of those coming as well. Feel free to watch here, the repository, or the Support Forums/Slack for updates. I update them all.

If you have items you would like to see added to the documentation, I would run it by myself, or d34dman first. If we have not already written it (there are some not committed yet); then we will just let you know to put in a PR (aka Pull Request). Once we have both reviewed it and give it a thumbs up. We will merge it.

Alright, all that said… Here is the link to the documentation!

Thanks,

Matthew Curry
