description: "The November 2020 Fly changelog records new example applications, Fly CLI enhancements, and platform updates. Guides now cover Gogs, MQTT with Mosquitto, MinIO, Node-RED, and Redis with and without TLS, and demonstrate preview persistent Volumes for database persistence, data storage, preserved programming state, and queued messages. The CLI added bulk secret imports from key=value files, including multiline values enclosed in triple double quotes, while list commands gained filtering, sorting, and JSON output; the Deno builtin added a Version setting defaulting to 1.5.4. Platform changes included an upgrade to Firecracker v0.23, improved restart and connection handling, timeout fixes, and stronger application-context isolation. The changelog also notes new crash-log context, humanized app times, improved image resolution, and corrected internal port and metrics handling."

The November 2020 Fly changelog records new example applications, Fly CLI enhancements, and platform updates. Guides now cover Gogs, MQTT with Mosquitto, MinIO, Node-RED, and Redis with and without TLS, and demonstrate preview persistent Volumes for database persistence, data storage, preserved programming state, and queued messages. The CLI added bulk secret imports from key=value files, including multiline values enclosed in triple double quotes, while list commands gained filtering, sorting, and JSON output; the Deno builtin added a Version setting defaulting to 1.5.4. Platform changes included an upgrade to Firecracker v0.23, improved restart and connection handling, timeout fixes, and stronger application-context isolation. The changelog also notes new crash-log context, humanized app times, improved image resolution, and corrected internal port and metrics handling.

## Context

The changelog describes what was new on Fly in November 2020, focusing on additional example applications, Fly CLI improvements, and updates to the Fly platform and websites.

## Approach / What changed

Fly added complete application guides and repositories, preview persistent Volumes usage, bulk and multiline secret importing, expanded CLI filtering, sorting, and JSON output, and a configurable Deno Version setting. Platform and release updates addressed Firecracker, connection handling, timeouts, isolation, logging, deployment image resolution, and command behavior.

## Takeaways

- The example applications include Gogs, MQTT with Mosquitto, MinIO, Node-RED, and Redis configurations with and without TLS.
- fly secrets import accepts key=value settings from stdin and supports multiline values wrapped in two pairs of three double quotes.
- Fly upgraded its virtual machines to Firecracker v0.23 and improved restart connection handling, timeout behavior, and application-context isolation.
