Additional options

ENV

• CACHE_DELAY=900000 - cache time for the specific release
• MAXIMUM_RELEASES=25 - how many releases should be pulled from gihtub and displayed on All releases page

Config

• config.prereleases=true/false - do you want to display only pre-releases or stable releases

Information

Ability to fetch a release directly by matched keywords:

GET /api/fetch/[owner]/[repo]/[platform]/[keyword]/[version]

Examples:

• /api/fetch/inlife/releases/win/serv/latest
• /api/fetch/inlife/nexrender/lin/worker/1.23.2

By default all releases are cached for 15 minutes. To bust cache (for example right after the release) you can call GET /api?cache=bust

The overall idea and design elements are based off the ZEIT's Hazel, props to them for making such a cool tool.
