Key features and improvements
New Repeat and Repeat Parallel blocks
You can now create repetitive action blocks or block sequences, using the new Repeat and Repeat Parallel metablocks. Repeat parallel allows for the repetitions to execute simultaneously, which may make the entire flow execution faster
Download Remote Workers from the UI
You can now download remote workers for MacOS, Windows and Linux directly from your browser, using the new button in Admin / Worker Groups
Chinese translation
We add new languages to the platform to make our users’ experience better
Human readable log execution times
You can now understand easily how much time was required to execute a flow. Instead of trying to calculate how much time 54037189 milliseconds are, you will get a nice approximation in years, days, hours, minutes and seconds
Renaming of folders added
You can rename folders now. All related flows, subflows, jobs and role permissions are updated with the new name accordingly
Important exception: Logs and MET reports remain intact for audit purposes
Pressing ESC for cancel
You can cancel your current action by pressing the ESC key as a shortcut now
Under the hood
Better API stability - The API service is more stable now. If a restart is needed, the impact is less disturbing to the user thanks to the readiness and liveliness probes.
CSS regeneration - themes and breakpoint icons work better now, along with many other improvements
Various UI improvements and bug fixes
To make your Pliant experience better
Known issues
A critical issue related to binary remote workers was found post-release. Containerized and OVA remote workers are unaffected. See PNT-1679 for details.
