What’s new this November?

What’s new in the JFrog world?

Artifactory 6.13 improves usability

JFrog has some user interface performance improvements in store for the latest release of their Universal Repository Manager, Artifactory.

Artifactory 6.13 introduces server-side pagination, which allows faster loading of the data in the UI. This will improve the loading times and usability of Artifact Repository Browser, for which the tree browser will now load repositories and their content in paginated form from the server, as well as the Home Screen, which will load the list of repositories paginated.

There are also a number of other improvements shipped with this release

• Replication performance and reliability improvements for repositories with a large number of artifacts.
• New REST APIs for setting and getting group memberships of users.

For a detailed list of all changes, fixes and enhancements in the latest Artifactory, please refer to Artifactory 6.13 Release Notes in JFrog Wiki.
