After our last newsletter in May with the IPv6 update it is now time to publish another big one!
Ploi Core is now completely free, no purchase fee anymore. You will still need the Ploi Unlimited (https://ploi.io/pricing) subscription, but other than that you can now download this software for free at https://github.com/ploi/ploi-core
This change now makes it possible for others to contribute and make it an even better product 🔥
If you made a purchase, or a renewal in the last 2 months, please get in touch with us in on the support platform, you will be eligible for a refund 😎
Other than that, there’s a huge update list again with some significant changes, like a new server installation screen, new server type, hostname support and many, many more.
If you have any suggestions or feature requests be sure to submit them on our roadmap: https://roadmap.ploi.io 🥰
