What else is cooking for next versions?
We love all the community support and participation. In addition, here are just a few of the things we are currently building out that will in future builds:
- Identity Login (ETA is v3.1.5 in a few weeks). We wanted to include this in 3.1 but it isn’t quite ready. We want to cross our T’s and dot our i’s.
- Azure features starting to be added
- Database support
With partnership with the community, we’ve will continue cranking out and iterating new features and functionality. We’re always looking for additional people to help out and if you’re interested, please head to our GitHub at https://aka.ms/wts. If you have an idea or feature request, please make the request!
