Releases: aneesh-neelam/VITacademics
Web API and Worker - Release 1.2.4
The first of the 1.x version series. Signifies that the project is now complete.
Major optimizations:
- Converted all usages of
vartoletorconst. Now io.js can do much better compile time optimizations. - ES6 usage, requires io.js or Node.js with --harmony flag.
- Should greatly decrease memory usage due to better garbage collection.
- Should reduce startup time and increase performance.
VITacademics Web API
- Scraper for Vellore campus updated to handle new HTML format.
- LTPJC is now the default for both campuses, new JSON key introduced.
- Have received official confirmation that Chennai shall also be changing to new format, but uses old format but with LTPJC for now.
- LTPC will continue to exist until Chennai also switches to new format or API Server is deployed to new infrastructure, whichever happens first.
Various Bug Fixing
- Cloud Messaging registration is now fixed.
- Faculty Advisor endpoint is now fixed.
