The old website has gone full HTTPS (yay). There might be some DNS updating still going on, since I've abandoned CloudFlare's weird half-encryption.
The CA is
Let's Encrypt, a project in closed beta to distribute free SSL certificates as a result of the Snowden leaks. I believe I read that their root CA received cross-signatures from some other major root CA about a month ago, meaning it'll be accepted by almost all major browsers. As a result of the project still being in beta, I was only able to get
blocklandglass.com a certificate, not any sub-domains such as the test site. That's coming soon (Q4 2015, aka now?), of course.
Now you can trust that nobody will steal your password. Woo-hoo
On another note, a lot of background work has been accomplished on preferences. I'm waiting on Blockland Preferences for some final functionality, such as saving, loading, updating, and whatever else, but I've also been contributing to the project, so if it's development is stagnant and I find myself with that time I'll just push that forward as to not hold back 1.1. I'm not sure if I've already mentioned it, but I've developed two separate resource managers (
GlassFontManager and
GlassResourceManager) that, respectively, are able to download fonts and other non-glass add-ons from static URLs. I plan to document these so that anyone else can hook in, and maybe even package them off separately. Currently, the font manager is used to fetch the font I use on the test site, quicksand, since I plan to make the site and add-on styling at least somewhat similar. The resource manager replaced the old download system for installing Support_Updater and will also download Blockland Preferences as soon as a static link is available.
