New PayPal Options on Trial in CurseForge Store

Posted by wishfire Feb 06, 2013 at 00:26 UTC

We're excited to announce that with the expansion of the Author Rewards Program, two new PayPal options are available on a trial basis in the CurseForge and WoWAce stores! Authors are now able to cash out at $100 and $150, respectively.

A lower cash incentive has been a long-requested feature, and over the next two months, we'll be testing these two payment amounts as a long-term option. Please feel free to give us feedback regarding these options, as we are always looking to better serve our authors!

Minecraft Snapshots Feature Available for Testing!

Posted by wishfire Feb 01, 2013 at 01:07 UTC

A brand new feature is available for testing in the Test Client: Minecraft Snapshot management!

The Curse Client can help make Snapshot management a breeze -- Simply click "Get It" beside the Snapshot you'd like to test, and the Client will download that specific version to a separate folder from your release install, allowing for you to test without fear of save corruption! You can switch between any released snapshot at any time, and can additionally copy your Worlds over from your release version of Minecraft for even more specialized testing!

In addition, the "My Textures" and "Get More Textures" tabs are available on this install, making texture pack testing a breeze.

This beta version of the Snapshot feature can be tested on the test version of the Curse Client, which can be found here. Please note that once testing is done, it is advised to resume using the release version of the Client.

More details on each of these features are listed below:

If you manage to fall into some lava, have a creeper destroy all your hard work, or just want to go on an NPC rampage without there being consequences, the Quick Saves will have you covered. Just click to restore the world back to its previous state!

Subversion Rollbacks for a Subset of Repositories

Posted by prencher Nov 07, 2012 at 18:32 UTC

Due to some unforseen complications during a routine maintenance, we've had to temporarily disable access to subversion repositories in order to do rollbacks on a subset of repositories.

Update 12:42am CST / 06:42 UTC:

All affected repositories have been restored to their latest backups from this sunday and access to repositories have been restored. Unfortunately, that is the most recent backup we have where we know the issue not to be present. All affected repositories have had their UUID changed, so you will have to do a fresh checkout. This was done to prevent any corruption of server side repositories, due to limitations in how svn handles revisions.

The easiest way to restore any commits made since sunday is take your old checkout, remove the .svn folder(s) and copy it on top of the fresh checkout, and then commit it.

We're very sorry about this situation, and are still investigating what went wrong during the maintenance to cause this.
