## Release Schedule 🗞️
> For full release, automation and CI documentation, see: [**Releases & Workflows**](./docs/release-workflow.md)
Dashy is under active development, with features, improvements, and changes pushed almost daily.
We're using [Semantic Versioning](https://semver.org/) to indicate major, minor, and patch versions. You can find the current version number in the readme and check the version of your app under the config menu. The version number is pulled from the [package.json](https://github.com/Lissy93/dashy/blob/master/package.json#L3) file.
Typically there is a new major release every 2 - 4 weeks, usually on Sunday, and you can view these under the [Releases Page](https://github.com/Lissy93/dashy/releases) and [on DockerHub](https://hub.docker.com/r/lissy93/dashy/tags). In addition, new minor versions are pushed several times a week and are [tagged here](https://github.com/Lissy93/dashy/tags).
For a full breakdown of each change, you can view the [Changelog](https://github.com/Lissy93/dashy/blob/master/.github/CHANGELOG.md). In addition, each new feature or significant change needs to be submitted through [a pull request](https://github.com/Lissy93/dashy/pulls?q=is%3Apr), which makes it easy to review and track these changes, and roll back if needed.

If you get an error, like `Service Unavailable: Server resulted in a fatal error`, even when it's definitely online, this is most likely caused by missing the protocol. Don't forget to include `https://` (or whatever protocol) before the URL, and ensure that if needed, you've specified the port.
Running Dashy in HOST network mode, instead of BRIDGE will allow status check access to other services in HOST mode. For more info, see [#445](https://github.com/Lissy93/dashy/discussions/445).
If you have firewall rules configured, then ensure that they don't prevent Dashy from making requests to the other services you are trying to access.
Currently, the status check needs a page to be rendered, so if this URL in your browser does not return anything, then status checks will not work. This may be modified in the future, but in the meantime, a fix would be to make your own status service, which just checks if your app responds with whatever code you'd like, and then return a 200 plus renders an arbitrary message. Then just point `statusCheckUrl` to your custom page.
For further troubleshooting, use an application like [Postman](https://postman.com) to diagnose the issue. Set the parameter to `GET`, and then make a call to: `https://[url-of-dashy]/status-check/?&url=[service-url]`. Where the service URL must have first been encoded (e.g. with `encodeURIComponent()` or [urlencoder.io](https://www.urlencoder.io/))
