Changes of Dockery 0.3.0

Huh! Finally Dockery version 0.3.0 is ready to get released and I already published the hosted version. The Chrome update scheduled to this week. It took some time release a new version, because of my holidays and flu, but the real reason was the scope of the release was too big.
Because of the efficient mixture of my ego and terrible estimation skills :)

Let's see what's changed and why:
  • search for container diff - the simple paging is not so efficient, I had to go through long list of changes sometimes to find what I'm looking for.
  • commit container as image - initial version, I don't know this feature how often used. Personally I prefer creating Dockerfiles. It will be improved with some extra features (Dockerfile statement filtering, etc.)
  • extending saved configuration data - from now some extra stuff will be saved too. I'd like to implement to reenter to the last state of the app at the next run. 
  • bootstrapping page - a nice eye-candy to hide angular placeholders during the app loading :)
  • login into the docker hub - to push docker image (will be implemented in 0.3.1) back to a repo we need to login 
  • cosmetics - removed $promise from json data, added some details how to setup CORS for docker daemon

!!4! Announcing the hosted app!!44!

This is the very point of this release. In the past I invested reasonable efforts] to make the chrome packaged app more user friendly, but I had hard times to find the documentation for anything what I planned to add, to enable or reimplement because of the security settings. 
Finally I decided to switch to the hosted app model to provide more user friendly UI interaction and faster development of new features.
In case of high demand to the dedicated version, I surely consider to re-release it (the customer is the king), but at the moment I'm believing in the hosted version is much better for the users.
