Key features and improvements
Real-time mode for flows execution
An optional "real-time" flow trigger parameter was added. If the parameter is set to true, it will not log any output to the flow execution log, making the flow execution up to 10 times faster on average.
Authentications are now managed from a top level menu and accessible in Object Editor
A separate menu item (together with some other UI/UX improvements) is available for easier access and management of authentications. Additionally, in Object Editor, there is a convenient dropdown list to pick an authentication directly.
Security and hardening
Pliant is now even more secure, with the following added:
Account lockout for a given time period after given number of unsuccessful login attempts
Users must change their passwords if the admin resets their accounts
Users able to change their passwords without admin’s help
Increased access control around log entries under the hood
Introduced content security and referrer policies in the response headers
Stricter access and refresh tokens expiration limits
Authentication module update
Various bug fixes and improvements
Lots of bug fixes, stability, performance and UI/UX improvements, as well as processing speed for some flows was increased with more than 50%.
