Our second release of 2023 is here - a release packed with new features, improvements and bug fixes!

Here are the feature highlights:

:ninja: Deploy like a ninja

A few simple (but powerful) new features have been added to our big blue Deploy button.

  • Schedule the deploy for a specific time - not only at midnight.
  • Choose whether to display your avatar and name with the deploy. The default is now to deploy anonymously.
  • Add an internal comment for the deploy - great for keeping track of your production deploys!

:sunrise_over_mountains: An alternative view of views

Do you want more control of the list of Views in the UI Designer? Well, lucky you.

  • Hide the Recent Views in the Preferences section in the Rocket Menu, or adjust the number of visible items.
  • Pin a view by clicking Add to Favourites in the right-click menu.
  • Or use both


:robot: Copy like a machine

You may now use Copy to Clipboard on Services. Great if you want to steal that service from another solution. Also, you may now copy Object Classes.

:superhero: More container superpowers

The multi-purpose, multi-talented Container gets even more superpowers!

  • For a Container with flex layout we now support the gap styling property. Use it for perfect control of the space between rows or columns inside the container.
  • Two new Event Handlers have been added to Container: On Right Click and On Double Click

:art: Speedy theming

This release optimizes the way theming / styling is handled, ultimately making your apps feel more snappy and performant!

If one of the following applies to your solution, we recommend a thorough check before deploying to other environments:

  • Usage of complicated style tricks
  • Creative Run Code usage related to styling
  • Switching themes at runtime in combination with Conditional Styles

I love the new “add to favorites” feature on views! It will be a huge time saver for large projects.
It took me some time to find it, as it only appears when you right click on the view in the alphabetic list. I was expecting to find the option when right clicking on a view in the recent view list. Would it be possible to offer the same right click menu on views independently if they are in the recent, favorites or alpabetic list?
