Snarl R5.1 Beta 1 Released!

Big news! 😄

Snarl R5.1 Beta 1 is now available from SourceForge. Here's just some of the improvements, modifications, and bug fixes you can expect to see.

PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS IS A BETA. If you're deploying this over an existing installation, Snarl will attempt to create a backup of your settings file, but please make a backup manually first.

Release notes:

Core

Migrated internal functionality over to new Oxide API so all operations can now return richer result information

Better settings management
