This is just a quick one to say that I’ve spun out the Postgres database support out of Known core and into a community supported plugin.

The reason for this is basically that I want to put in some significant data model changes into Known core in the next few months, and due to my other commitments (and lack of Postgres expertise), I don’t have the resources to maintain this myself.

Anyone who’s interested in picking up Postgres support, please reach out in the comments or by email. I’ll also do my best to keep things up to date, but I’m unfortunately spread pretty thin these days!

Very quick update, as part of some paid Known development, I’ve made a few important updates to the Known OAuth2 client.

Essentially, this is to make it work better with non-OIDC (Open ID Connect) clients, and with those servers that don’t support Owner Info endpoints.

Folks following the GitHub HEAD release of Known should get this in their next composer update, but for other folks I’ll build a new unofficial release soon.

Have a great weekend folks!

It’s been a little while since I’ve done this, but I’ve updated the “official” Known build to the latest version.

This fixes a bunch of issues since the 1.0.0 release last year. Much of which is back end and API related, but there’s still plenty to be getting stuck in to. I’ve largely been setting the groundwork for future development, but there’s a lot that’s moved on since that release, so it’s good to encourage people to get the latest code!

For a start, there’s functional OAuth and OpenID Connect support built in.

I’ve done a fair amount to improve stability of the installer, as well as do some fairly important improvements to the underlaying data model.

Time permitting, I hope that the next release will be a little more front end focussed. Splitting off templates into their own repository, updating themes and doing more work to make the API more consumable.

Of course, as per usual, back up your data and database before upgrading!

Go get Known here!
