What’s new?:

1. Updated API Documentation (in the Support section)

2. Some customers reported slowness in our control panel after the 1.4 release. We’ve made some changes to prevent these issues.

– optimized slow queries for the following methods (14 seconds was reduced to around 2 seconds) for the “Most Popular Files” graphs and widgets
– added client side caching for minified js and css files

Don’t hesitate to share any feedback with us.
