Releases

4.0

New features:

  • While building a release, developers can now select the new objects Collection, Page, or Rule on the Solution Objects screen to include these individual components in a release.

  • Before installing a release package in IDE > Install Release, administrators can now view its contents using the new Manifest button.

  • A visual workflow now has workflow edit tools for registering an action or validation.

  • Developers can now define rollback handlers for actions that will run if any of the event sequence's preceding actions fail.

  • Developers can now build an offline app that can run on a mobile device without a network connection.

  • Developers can use the new AI app assistant (beta) to create a new application and data source using natural language. For beta access, contact your Customer Success Manager (CSM).

Improvements:

  • App Builder now requires .NET 8 as a system requirement.

  • Intrinsic events are no longer automatically created when a business rule is created.

  • The Installed Package page now shows all objects included in a release package, not just the applications and data sources.

  • When invoking an event on an extension table, the parent table's validation rules are now run only if one or more columns in the parent table changed.

Fixes:

  • Lists in child panels no longer show the underlying list value when selecting a row in the parent panel. The list title continues to be shown until the new data has been loaded.

  • A control's Label is no longer shown in the control's Control Properties tab. It remains available in its Label tab.

  • Adding a column in the Create a Table wizard no longer fails if no title columns are present.

  • Business rules are now prevented from writing to table columns that extend read-only public data objects.
