Town Hall #79

Private and public folders for Modules, seamlessly move and rename

Maintaining the integrity of your Intellectual Property when selling your modules through the platformOS Marketplace requires easy management of ‘private’ and ‘public’ folders. Frustration around moving files between private and public folders has been addressed.The pOS team has solved this by making file moving and renaming “seamless” and has demonstrated this in last week’s Town Hall.  

pos-cli: deploy compressed assets as large as 5GB
Right now we are beta testing a new implementation of deploy which uses direct S3 upload for assets. This means your compressed assets can be as big as 5 GB, and your resources can be up to 50 MB zipped. (Previously both assets and resources were limited to 50 MB zipped.)
