What a year! Almost two million operations were invoked with Kreya. To be exact, there were 1,992,648 tracked invoked operation events, of which 15,382 (0.77%) were REST operations. Many more numbers and insights can be found in this article.
Releases
Three versions of Kreya were released in 2022. The first release (1.8.0) came on 11 July with REST support and our first paid plan. After a minor bug fix release (1.8.1) in August, another major release (1.9.0) was published on 4 November. This version included many more bug fixes and some features like variable support for scripting and templating and curl import support.
During the year there were many alpha and beta releases.
Sometimes there are still bugs in these "unstable" versions or not everything works as it should, but you can help us to detect bugs early.
If you also want to use these versions, you can change the release channel to Alpha or Beta in the menu at the Kreya > About window.
All details about the releases can be found on the release notes page (alpha, beta, stable).
