Release Notes 104

Release 104 consists primarily of bug fixes and improvements, and is a relatively small release. Here are the highlights.

Noteworthy improvements

  • Select and Multiselect: New event handlers On Open and On Close, allowing you to run actions when the droplists are opened or closed.
  • New languages have been added to Appfarm Create: Nynorsk, Finnish, Sami, Latvian and Lithuanian.
  • Service DevTools: Show payload and response in web request action nodes.

Technology update

For Services, Appfarm has been using Node 18 under the hood. From version 104, Appfarm is now using Node 20. For Appfarm Create users, this may be visible in the output when using the Value Processor for formatting numbers to currency in Services. For example, the formatting of the number 100 in currency NOK will now output “100 kr”, instead of the previously formatted “kr 100”. This has no real impact, except if you have hardcoded business logic related to the string output of Value Processor formatting in Services (e.g. using substring to get the “100” from “kr 100”).
