Submitting StringEncode to the Package Control Default Channel #51

@onelittlehope

Description

@onelittlehope

In ST4, Package Control is using the following new default channel by default: https://packages.sublimetext.io/channel.json

When searching for StringEncode on https://packages.sublimetext.io, I see a page for it exists here: https://packages.sublimetext.io/packages/StringEncode

However, when trying to install the package in ST4, the StringEncode package is not found.

I think the package needs to be submitted to "Package Control Default Channel" @ https://github.com/sublimehq/package_control_channel

Please consider submitting this very useful package.

Package Control
---------------

  Version 4.2.0 Release Notes
  ===========================

  IMPORTANT NOTICE!

    This is the last version with support for ST3.

  NEW DEFAULT CHANNEL

    Package Control is using the following new default channel by default:

          https://packages.sublimetext.io/channel.json

    Any request to https://packagecontrol.io/channel_v3.json is redirected.

    To discover packages online, visit

          https://packages.sublimetext.io

    New packages and libraries are published daily at 0:00 UTC.

    Dedicated libraries channel is still available, but its content is merged
    into new default channel and thus doesn't need to be specified explicitly.

    This change is required as packagecontrol.io is more or less unmaintained
    for several years, didn't even receive related Package Control 4 updates,
    suffered various even long lasting outages and its infrastructure seems to
    struggle with current amount of packages and data needed to be managed,
    which results in packages frequently not being available for install or
    upgrade. As current community doesn't have access to its infrastructure.

    The new crawler works way more efficient and uses a more intelligent
    caching strategy to reduce network bandwidth. Full downloads are only
    made if packages or libraries have been added or modified really changed.

    There's still some work to do to consolidate new infrastructure,
    which this change is a first and important step, for.

    The new crawler and website are maintained under:

          https://github.com/packagecontrol
