Lowcoder Release 2.4.9

Dear Lowcoder Community,

First of all, we would like to apologize for any inconvenience caused by the issues present in the previous release. Your experience is our top priority, and when something falls short, it matters to us just as much as it does to you.

In the morning, we discovered a bug that significantly impacted user experience. As soon as it came to our attention, our team jumped into action to identify the root cause and release a fix immediately.

The bug was about a frequent re-rendering of the user interface. It looked pretty much like "flickering" on user interaction.
Apps itself or any function was not affected - just the display.

Lowcoder 2.4.9 addresses this issue. We appreciate your patience and understanding while we resolved this matter and thank you for being an active part of our community.

If you face any further issues or have suggestions, feel free to reach out to us through our support channels.

Lowcoder v2.4.6

After a fruitful summer full of hard work, we are pleased to present v2.4.6 of Lowcoder. Alongside many bug fixes and improvements, we have introduced a long list of fantastic new features!

New Features

New & Updated Translations

  • Language Updates: Existing languages are updated based on English as the master file - by Deepl APIs help.
  • New Languages Added: We now support Chinese, English, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, German, and Russian. More languages will follow. The new Languages Italian, Spanish and Russian are fully auto-generated. It would be amazing if you can help us to correct the flaws, so the translation will increase it it's quality! Soon we will prepare a small App, that can help to achieve this for you.

Table Enhancements

  • Summary Rows in Tables: You can now add up to three empty rows that are unconnected to the data source and fill them with summary calculations or status/progress displays (e.g., "SUM", "TAX", "TOTAL"). Data calculations can be performed for each column based on the bound table data object or other queries. (#1114)
  • Improved Table Editing Experience: Editing data in tables is now more efficient. Users can activate edit mode with a single click or double-click (configurable by the App Creator) and navigate through cells using the tab key, which auto-activates edit mode. (#1114)
  • New Record Edit Rows: App Creators can activate a new row type displayed at the end of the table to enable users to enter new records. The data is accessible as table.toInsertRows and can be bound to a different Data Query (e.g., INSERT). (#1114)

Timezone Support for Date and Time Components

  • Timezone Selection: The App Editor can set a default timezone for Date, Date-Range, Time, and Time-Range components or allow users to select the corresponding timezone. The time.timeZone provides a JSON object with information about the user-selected timezone, and time.formattedValue includes the timezone name accordingly. (#1144, #1151, #1162)

Calendar Updates with Tab-Modal

  • Enhanced Event Data Entry: Provides more fine-grained control for event data entry in the calendar.
  • Improved Visuals for Past Events: Colors are now also applied to past events with a slight grey layer, making it visually clear that these events are in the past.

Kanban Component (Experimental)

  • New Kanban Component: Introduced an experimental Kanban component, demonstrating the ability to place Lowcoder components inside the Kanban card display, opening up endless possibilities for its use.

Supabase SDK Integration

  • Native Supabase SDK Support: App Creators can now fully use the Supabase Client SDK in their apps.

Scrollbar Control

  • Enhanced Scrollbar Options: Added better scrollbar control (dynamic or static switch) to show/hide vertical and horizontal scrollbars independently for many components like Table and Container. (#1080)

Customizable HTTP Headers for OpenAPI Data Queries

  • HTTP Header Customization: Added the ability to customize HTTP headers for OpenAPI-based Data Queries.

User Logout Function

  • Programmatic User Logout: Added a user logout function (utils.logoutUser()), allowing App Creators to help the currentUser log out via a JavaScript Query.

Modal Component Enhancement

  • 'Open' Event for Modals: Added an 'open' event to the Modal component, so App Creators can now use event handlers when the Modal is opened by a user. (#1139)

FirebirdSQL Data Source

  • New Data Source Support: Added support for FirebirdSQL as a data source. (#1136, #1140)

Private NPM Registry Support

  • Private Component Repositories: Changed the Remote Components Repository mechanism to support private hosted repositories. App Creators and companies can now operate and use a private NPM repository for their individual component plugins, which also aids in component plugin development. (#1061)

Concurrent App Editing Display

  • Optimistic Locking Strategy: Introduced a display to notify when another user is editing the app. If User A is editing an app and User B opens the same app, User B will receive a notice that User A is editing. After 3 minutes of inactivity from User A, the lock will be removed, and User B can proceed to edit the app. (#1113, #1163)

Improvements

App Rendering Optimization

  • Minimized Re-rendering: Invested time to optimize and speed up app rendering, enhancing the overall experience for App Users. (#1147, #1159)

Unified Waiting Indicators

  • Controllable Loading Indicators: Unified various waiting indicator types to now only show skeletons for all components. This helps to calm the visual impression of app loading states. Added the possibility to generally activate or deactivate the loading display for "App Loading" and "Data Query Loading" via Themes. (#1146)

Improved SMTP Server Support

  • Fixed SMTP Server Issues: Resolved issues with the SMTP server to send password reset emails. (#1171)

Page Title Customization

  • App Title in HTML Title Tag: Enabled the App Title (from App Metadata Settings) to be displayed in the HTML title tag, so it shows as the page title in browser tabs. (#1158, #1161)

Extension/Module Search

  • Module Search Enhancement: Fixed the issue where users could not search in the Extensions/Module section for their modules by name. (#1154)

Reduced Branding in Password Reset Emails

Stability Update

We are thankful not only for your patience with us but also for your help in reporting issues, such as bugs and wishful features.
In this small update we worked further on the fixing and stabilization of v2.4. and rounded up the OAuth Token Matching.
Now you can indeed match directly email -> email from the token.

When a new account Signs in with your Generic OAuth Provider, then Lowcoder will try to find the email when pointed as matching configuration and not simply "false". We will look in eMails of the eMail Auth Provider - but also in eMails of existing different OAuth providers for an account (imagine you use Linkedin and want to match with an eMail of a user which used Facebook before)

Also, we turned the default value of "prevent overriding Styles" on App Level to "true", so at first try and opening of existing apps with a new theme - the app will stay pretty much without influence. Only if you then place new components, they will behave after the new Theme.

Data Sources

  • Added Postman as a Data Source: This enables easy testing for web requests, so you can see how a Request will be received by your web services.
  • Increased Max Query Time: Extended the maximum query time from 120 seconds to 3600 seconds.

User Interface and Functionality Fixes

  • Fixed Select Component Multiple Values: Resolved issue where the select component was not showing multiple values in the dropdown.

Lowcoder 2.4.1 - Rock

After weeks of sweat, we are proud to announce the release of Lowcoder 2.4.1! This version is a stability-focused update aimed at enhancing your overall experience. We've addressed a number of bugs and introduced new features that ensure a smoother and more efficient workflow. Here’s what’s new and improved:

New Features and Enhancements

  • GUI Mode SQL Query Fix: Enhanced the SQL query execution in GUI mode, ensuring accurate and efficient data retrieval.

  • Proxy Server for REST & GraphQL Queries: Implemented a proxy server to streamline and secure REST and GraphQL queries.

  • Component Styling Additions:

    • Outer Shadow

    • Inner Shadow (Input Fields)

    • Animation (!!!)

    • Label Border

    • Outer Border

    • Rotation (!!!)

  • Timeout for Refresh-Token Endpoint: We Added a timeout feature for the refresh-token endpoint to enhance security and performance. Some of the 3th party Auth Services may miss Endpoints, so we have now a timeout in place to ensure no freezing state.

  • Redirect Back to App for Auth Flows: We improved the OAuth flow to redirect users back to the app seamlessly after authentication. This was very important! If now a user tries to open an App, but misses Authentication, he / she get's redirected to the Org-Auth Login - and after successful auth - back to the app.

  • Copy-able State Information Per Component: Users can now easily copy the state information of each component for better debugging and analysis. In the left menu bar of the Editor, there is a list (tree) of components for the current app. Before 2.4.1 information about the data state were displayed - but practically not to copy and to use. This we changed now and gave it a very nice roundup.

Documentation

  • We merged now the documentation from Gitbooks with the Repository. This gives a better experience for everyone, who start to read in Github first.

  • Also, we updated the Contribution and Developer Readme's, so your first steps in extending and coding in Lowcoder are at all possible and a better experience.

Bug Fixes

  • OAuth Setup Fixed: We addressed and resolved issues with the generic OAuth setup to ensure a smoother authentication process.

  • User Introspection Optional: We made user introspection optional, providing greater flexibility in user management.

  • Password Reset Flow Bugfix: We corrected bugs within the password reset flow to ensure a more reliable and user-friendly experience.

  • Table Current Row Values: We fixed the issue where current row values were not correctly passed to module inputs nested in the expanded view.

  • OAuth Display (Icon) Fixed: We resolved display issues with OAuth icons for a more visually consistent experience.

  • Profile Image Display Fixed: We ensured that profile images display correctly without requiring additional API calls to external sources. As an legacy there was a API call to a service, which returns the Initial Letters, when there is no profile image set. We removed this, cause every external API call is always unnecessary and a security risk.

Focus on Stability and Performance

The past few weeks have been dedicated to fixing bugs and increasing the overall stability of Lowcoder. Our primary focus has been on improving the Generic OAuth setup to provide a more secure and reliable authentication process.

We hope these updates will enhance your experience and provide you with a more robust and efficient toolset. Thank you for your continued support and feedback.

Enjoy the new and improved Lowcoder 2.4.1!

The Lowcoder Team
