Fly Changelog 17th April 2020
Summary
This changelog records updates to Fly’s infrastructure, flyctl tooling, and web experience during the week ending 17 April 2020. Version 0.0.116 improves diagnostics for invalid fly.toml files by listing problematic sections and settings, adds Homebrew upgrade instructions to the README, provides basic names for flyctl scale vm sizes, and packages flyctl for Arch Linux through flyctl-bin. On the platform, new applications receive their app.fly.dev certificate “instantly,” while Fly Proxy can serve replacement certificates two weeks before expiration when possible. The site also adds a dedicated ChangeLog page that consolidates recent entries, alongside an RSS feed containing changelog posts. The flyctl changes include contributions from Lars Lehtonen and Simon Willison.
