🚀 Features

  • Introducing Auto-height for widgets! 🥳 Widgets now expand and contract vertically with the change in data, screen-size, and other widgets on the canvas. [#18341]
        - Control auto-heights with a min-max range when you want to.
        - Do away with ugly white spaces when widgets are invisible to end-users.
        - Preview mode shows exactly what end-users of your app see.
        - Give it a try and let us know what you think of it.
  • Easily find Table header properties like id, label and isVisible using the Table1.tableHeaders variable in bindings. [#18137]
  • A fan of colors and bands when visualizing data? Linear Gauge, a new chart type, now makes that possible. [#18129]

💪🏾 Improvements

  • Form-based queries now convert into JavaScript queries with the click of a button—the JS toggle. Speaking of, the JS toggle on the Query editor now mimics the behavior of JS toggles in widget props and isn’t clickable when there’s text already present in fields. [#18192]
  • The three Sliders now look and behave better. [#18277]]
  • You already know default text in widgets’ props can’t exceed the maximum characters specified by you but in case it slips your mind, the improved error message tells you that a little better.[#17885]
  • Now scroll up and down in the Response tab of the Debugger when querying databases. [#18264]
  • We moved the Tern server that powers auto-completion of code in our editors to another web worker. That gained us 25% in the time taken for scripting in the main thread. Small steps today for a performant tomorrow. [#18464]
  • Remember how you can control where your Appsmith apps can be embedded with environment variables? Yeah, those settings are on-screen now, too. [#16629]
  • Use your preferred Kubernetes Ingress now over the Nginx one Appsmith ships with. [#18266]

🐛 Bug fixes

  • You now see an error when importing an app fails so you can confidently try the import again. [#18034]
  • The updatedRow property for a the Table now shows the last edited row and works nicely with Save and Discard [#18225]
  • The Text widget was old-school with links, crashing the Appsmith session if you didn’t include https:// in links. We have told it to be chill and work with all links. [#18321]
  • The Rich Text Editor now shows an option to underline text, modifiers like bold and italic don’t kill text color, and… Er, it just behaves better. [#18332] #18332
  • Not that you are likely to but if you ever paste a very, very, very long URL or, just to mess with the screen, the response from a query in the URL field of an API connection, you will find the screen looks exactly as you would expect it to. Nothing breaks, nothing’s wonky. Because, why should it? [#18200]
  • Connecting a Google API as a datasource now shows the overview of that connection after you sign into your Google account instead of the New datasources page that you saw earlier. [#18389]
  • Datasource connections threw schema errors despite your fixes. We didn’t want you to question your fixes, so we took out those uncalled for errors. [#18290]
