Key features and improvements
Improved date and time picker in Logs
You can now use single click to get logs for the last 24 hours, today, yesterday, last 7 days, last 30 days, this month, last month, or alternatively, choose a custom period that suits your needs.
Automatically applying variable dependencies in the Start block
Every logged variable should also be an output variable, and every required variable should also be an input variable. These dependencies are now automatically applied by the UI.
Under the hood improvements
A lot of under the hood improvements were implemented in this release. Here are several mentions:
Fallback mechanism for workers - when workers can connect to the API but unable to connect to RabbitMQ, there is a fallback mechanism for them to poll RabbitMQ every few seconds via the API.
System variables are no longer included in the CURL for better security.
Better dealing with long names
There were some variables, block names and parameters that have long names and could not be easily seen. We have added tooltips on hover, and ability to expand certain columns in Object Editor in order to make this more convenient and long names to be visible.
Various bug fixes and improvements
Lots of bug fixes, stability, performance and UI/UX improvements.
