ActiveState Platform Changelog

April 2019

You can rename your projects in the project Settings tab.
You can create your own customized ActivePerl distributions on Linux.
For ActivePerl projects, you can search by either package name or module name. For example, you can search for mysql and locate packages that include this search term in their name, or you can enter the DateTime::Format::MySQL to locate the exact package you need based on the module name.
You’re sent directly to the Build tab your new project when you create a copy of a project, or a fork, from the ActiveState.com downloads page.
Installer files are clearly differentiated from other files you can download from the Project > Builds tab.

March 2019

Fork Community Editions of ActivePython 3.6.6 and ActivePerl 5.26.3 directly from the activestate.com downloads page.
First release of the state tool, a command line interface for interacting with the ActiveState Platform and setting up projects in a local virtual environment.
Copying, or forking, projects supported. For all projects, forking a project enables you to track updates to the project. For example, when ActiveState updates a managed project, such as ActivePerl-5.24, the changes including bug fixes and updated packages will be automatically available in your forked project. Currently, you can fork and modify two ActiveState Community Edition projects and add or remove packages, and then create your own custom distributions. This is a beta feature available now for ActivePython 3.6.6 and ActivePerl 5.26.3 on Linux.
All users are now able to create and build projects.
Recommended languages and platforms for creating builds are highlighted. Builds of projects created for Python 3.6.6 on Linux are the most likely to succeed.
Build catalog increased to over 400 Python packages.
