Recent Apigee upgrades and fixes »

Earlier this week we released significant UI upgrades for Apigee. We also fixed some bugs identified in our feedback forum.

(We should mention that you won't lose API messages during our planned upgrades - we use a HA architecture so we don't have to schedule downtime.)

The big one is that now the cool screens in the demo video - the animated API setup and proxy rate limiting dialogues (as in this video) - are now live for everyone.  They include some usability tweaks identified by our preview members - thanks.

We also fixed some bugs you found in the API Requests Table and with editing API nicknames.

Here's an overview of the  UI highlights and below are details on more features coming soon.

What's coming next

We're prioritizing our backlog directly based on your feedback.  Coming up soon:

Support for HTTPS & SSL. Thanks to everyone that commented on the solution proposal.

Proxies will come in 2 flavors -  consumer and provider, and we're including Apigee status info in the response header

Finally, we're thrilled when one of our community members suggest a better solution than we had planned.   We love this idea to make IP addresses human friendly.

Thanks again and please keep the ideas coming!
