DevX Updates

We released version 0.3.0 of the PCT tool last Friday. This introduces the ability to package up and share content templates.

Instructions on how to install the PCT tool can be found here.

Community Day

As no summer can end without a holiday, some of our our team members are on a short PTO . Next Monday is a bank holiday in EMEA, therefore community day will be quieter.

Debian 11 Support

We added support for Debian 11 across all our supported modules and started releasing the modules with Debian 11 support.
