Ruby Application Server

We are happy to announce the release of WebROaR v0.6.1 with a couple of new features and critical bug fixes.

Now the users can send their valuable feedback, and report any bug from "Contact Us" page of the Admin Panel. For that you need to configure mail setting from "Configuration" page.

This release added support to disable Admin Panel and Analytics feature. These features can be controlled from 'conf/serverinternalconfig.yml' file.
