Hello again!!
Sorry for the big delay in the announcements. I know it has been a long time I have not made any announcements, but I will try my best next time this doesn't happen again.
So, through the medium of this post I would like to share with you all the v1.15.0 major release version of the websurfx project which was released on the 25th of March.
If you are new, and you don't know what is websurfx then I would suggest taking a look at my previous post here:
https://programming.dev/post/2678496
Which covers in depth about what the project is and why it exists.

Before I share with you the changelog, what this release version means and a preview on what we are planning to work on for the next major release v2.0.0. I would first like to thank all our contributors and maintainers because of whom this was all possible. Specially I would like to thank spencerjibz, ddotthomas and evanyang1 who have been invaluable to the project. Also, Websurfx would not have been possible without alamin655 and xffxff early involvement.
Now, let's dive straight into what this release version actually means.
What does this release version means
This new release version v1.15.0 introduces the new ranking algorithm for search results on the search page which ranks the results based on the relevancy to the user's search query.

Thank you for your hard work. I had come across your pervious post a while back; good to see it's going well. Will try it, also looking forward to ARM support
Thanks for taking a look at my project ๐ .
We are already planning to have an initial support for this added soon in the coming releases. Right now, we are looking for someone who has more in depth knowledge on how to manage memory more efficiently like reduce heap usages, etc. So if you could help with this, I would suggest letting us know. ๐
Unfortunately, I'm not a programmer. If I had more free time I could possibly help with your hosting infrastructure, but that's a no-go too at the moment. I'll keep your requirements in mind though, if I do find someone
Ok, thanks โค๏ธ. I really appreciate your help. ๐ .
