Version 0.5.15 - Release Notes

In today’s update, version 0.5.15, I’ve focused on implementing a new cache mechanism for improved performance, improving the MTG Cube Generator, as well as a few other small quality-of-life improvements.

New cache mechanism

So far, CubeForge wasn’t caching requests to remote APIs, meaning we had to wait for responses every single time. This was particularly painful when adding cards to a cube, where the same searches could be triggered multiple times.

With this update, subsequent searches are now cached and will appear instantly, making cube editing noticeably smoother.

Improved Cube Generator tool

The CubeForge Cube Generator has been improved with the addition of a small FAQ section answering common questions about generating Magic: The Gathering cubes, as well as fixing a bug that prevented certain sets from generating properly.

It is now also possible to directly click the “Create a cube from this list” button to import a generated list as a new cube—no more need to manually copy and paste.

Quality-of-life improvements

• The “views” button on the cube list page is now a different color, making it easier to notice. It’s one of the most important features of the page, and it was previously too easy to miss.
• Continued work on the Japanese and French versions, slowly catching up with English.
• Fixed an issue where clicking on a card while doing a multi-selection would clear the selection (thanks to @antonly for reporting it).

If you’re building or experimenting with a cube, the generator is meant to be a fast starting point that you can iterate on over time.
