  Brand new features:

  • Genghis doesn’t require PHP! Introducing Genghis.rb — Thanks @TylerBrock for doing all the work :)
  • Add super-simple RubyGems installation. gem install genghisapp is the new hotness.
  • Add a command line executable / daemon. You’re just a genghisapp away. How rad is that?
  • Add support for pre-configured servers via the $GENGHIS_SERVERS environment variable.
  • Add support for replica sets, e.g. localhost:12345/?replicaSet=production.

  Tons of improvements:

  • Add this CHANGELOG. Meta.
  • Genghis now has a more refined visual style — greeeeen!
  • More responsive design (check it in a really small window!)
  • Epic document parsing and rendering overhaul:
    • Huge speed improvements. Rendering, collapsing and scrolling like wow.
    • Date, ObjectId and regular expression values (and more) are now formatted (and edited) for humans, not robots.
    • Documents are now displayed and edited as Genghis Flavored JSON, a more lenient and intuitive superset of JSON.
  • UX Improvements:
    • Speed up the initial page load time.
    • Update code editor. The new one (CodeMirror) is lighter, faster, smaller and a cleaner implementation.
    • Add Cmd+Enter / Ctrl+Enter keyboard shortcut for saving the document being edited.
    • Prevent “new document” modal from closing on background click.
    • Better “keyboard shortcuts” dialog on smaller screens.
    • Require database name confirmation rather than DELETE before removing a db.
    • Collection removal is paranoid as well: it also requires confirmation before removing.
    • Restore spinning states to most sections — a spinner will show rather than displaying incorrect or outdated info.
    • Expando-matic search box. No more squinting or scrolling to see your massive queries.
  • Update Bootstrap (2.1.0), jQuery (1.8.0), Underscore (1.3.3), and Backbone (0.9.2).
  • Use UglifyJS instead of closure compiler to minify JS. It’s faster and doesn’t require Java :)

  • Check for updates. You can disable this with a $GENGHIS_NO_UPDATE_CHECK environment variable.
  • Add a welcome screen with project link and version info.
  • The README has way more to READ.
  • Spun off Bootstrappy styles for Apprise into their own project. Check it out!
  • All this while reducing the codebase by about 10%. BOOM.
