The Lamplighter Add-on Will Take the Place of devot:ee Monitor

The devot:ee Monitor has been a very popular add-on since it launched in April 2012. As part of a bigger vision for how EE developers can monitor and update their add-ons, the Monitor will be retired and development time and effort will be focused on the Lamplighter add-on, which will take the place of Monitor.

Lamplighter includes all the functionality of devot:ee Monitor. Monitor’s final version is the current one: 1.2.4. You’re encouraged to switch out any devot:ee Monitor installs you have with Lamplighter (v1.1.2+) at your earliest convenience.

devot:ee Monitor will no longer be patched or updated. It will continue to work until the end of June 2014. Please install Lamplighter instead.

For more info, read the blog post over at devot-ee.com.
