I’ve been delaying the Tera-WURFL 2.1.3 release since mid-July because of the large number of feature requests and improvements coming in, but the time has come to release it. I’m still waiting for the unit test code to stabilize a bit before I put it into the tree, but if you are interested in it, follow me on GitHub and you should see it soon.
Here’s a short list of features and improvements in Tera-WURFL 2.1.3:
- Native support for MongoDB
- Better support and performance for Microsoft SQL Server
- Command line administration utility
- Better webservice performance using JSON
- Better Python client with JSON support
- Improved performance in MySQL5
- Device Images are available via the PHP webservice client
- Loaded WURFL version is now tracked in the DB
- MySQL connector allows for alternate port
- Better overall detection
If you’re a command line junky like me, I think you’ll really like the CLI administration tool. To use it, just go to your Tera-WURFL/admin/ directory and type php cmd_line_admin.php
# php cmd_line_admin.php
