This is the Fly Changelog where we list all significant changes to the Fly platform, tooling and web sites. As well as the RSS feed of just changelog posts available on fly.io/changelog.xml, there’s now a dedicated ChangeLog page with all the recent updates.
This past week has been one focused on the Fly infrastructure with earlier certificate renewals now in place and a dedicated Changlog page.
We also made time to bring in some user contributed changes to the flyctl which make debugging fly.toml files easier and clearer upgrade instructions. In other updates, there’s also better help for scaling your VM sizes and flyctl is packaged for Arch Linux now.
