Welcome back to the February product update. From shipping Appwrite 1.6.1 to upgrading our usage metrics system, we have some interesting things to share with you. Let’s dive in!
Appwrite 1.6.1 is now available
We released Appwrite 1.6.1, packed with features, fixes and improvements to your Appwrite self-hosted instance.
Some of the notable updates include:
- Improved compatibility for webp requests.
- Additional function runtime versions such as Node 22, Dart 3.5, and Bun 1.1.
- A real-time heartbeat to keep real-time connections alive.
These updates focus on performance, stability, and expanded functionality.
Usage metrics system improvements
We’ve improved the usage metric system to include OPTIONS requests and 4XX responses, which were previously omitted.
So now you can have a clearer traffic overview, making it easy to track requests, identify issues, and optimize performance.
