Pulse 2.0 RC: The Docs Are In
I’ve just pushed up version 2.0.16 of Pulse, the first 2.0 build that can be considered as an RC. Part of the criteria for getting to RC was of course to update the documentation: a large task due to the many changes in 2.0.
This gives me a chance to highlight a cool new feature in 2.0: built-in documentation for all forms. Now when you are configuring your Pulse server, there is no need to leave the UI to look up the docs, they are all there in a slide-out panel. The help UI also sports tooltips for the most commonly-needed pointers, and includes examples to illustrate field values. The shiny new online manual has a screenshot showing the configuration UI complete with help panel.
This is not the sort of feature that makes headlines, but it sure as heck is useful when you are doing admin tasks. Reducing time spent fighting configuration is a key goal of Pulse and this is another piece of the puzzle. And lets face it, any time saved on admin can be spent doing something more interesting!
