New

This release includes backend security upgrades to strengthen data protection and platform reliability.

What’s changed

  • Database security upgrades
    We’ve upgraded to the latest versions of our database infrastructure, including MongoDB and Redis, to take advantage of modern security enhancements.

  • Encrypted data in transit
    All database communications are now secured using industry-standard encryption (TLS), ensuring data is protected while moving between services.

Impact

  • Improved security posture with no expected changes to functionality.

  • Negligible performance impact, offset by stronger security guarantees.

New

By default, your marketplace is only accessible through the primary domain configured in the “Hosted URL" in your site details (e.g., https://marketplace.yourdomain.com).

With our new "Allow Any Domain" setting, you can now safely display your marketplace data on other domains, like partner websites or external blogs. This enables you to create additional "instances" of your marketplace wherever you need them.

A common use case: a partner wants to showcase their list of apps directly on their own website. With this feature enabled, they can do just that, seamlessly and securely.

To get started, simply toggle "Allow Any Domain" in your site settings. View our implementation guide

Improved

We’ve introduced a Last Updated column to the Ranking Report and the exported CSV file. This column shows the date an app was last updated, making it easier to collaborate with partners and encourage them to submit new versions of their apps.

Improved

Marketplaces with SSO configured and enabled can now enforce SSO login. This feature ensures dashboard users exclusively log in via SSO, disabling future access through their OpenChannel credentials. Enabling this feature will not log out users currently signed in.
