Changelog #9 - Docs Portal iframe Support, Security Fixes, and Improved Python SDK Type Hints

Happy New Year 🎉! We are super excited to bring you Konfig Changelog #9. We have made some improvements to the Docs Portal, fixed some security vulnerabilities and improved the Python SDK.

Docs Portal Support for iframes

We've added support for embedding an iframe from sites such as YouTube, allowing you to embed videos and more into your portal.

Security Fixes

We fixed a security vulnerability in our Python and TypeScript SDKs:

1. Upgraded aiohttp from 3.8.4 to 3.9.1 in Python SDK
2. Upgraded axios from 0.27.2 to 1.6.4 in TypeScript SDK

Note that both these changes are backward incompatible so if you already have SDKs with Konfig, we have put these upgrades behind a feature flag so you can upgrade at your own pace.

Improved Python SDK Type Hints

Type hints in Python used to only previously work in PyCharm but now they work in VSCode as well.

Check Out Our New Blog Posts!

We published two new blog posts:

1. I Reviewed 1,000s of Opinions on gRPC

A fun read!

These are always fun to write because I get to learn more about the general sentiment of technology and deepen my understanding of different technologies.

2. How To Implement Free, Fast, Local Search Using Fuse.js with Next.js SSR

A technical read!

To implement search functionality in Konfig's Docs Portal, we had to solve a really interesting problem around how to implement search in a Next.js app that is statically generated. This blog post goes into detail on how we solved this problem.
