What’s new

Fixes for OIDC dependencies on Spring, AWS Cognito are in. Snowflake queries and datasources work fine with our Java 17 upgrade. Preparations for a big change to your Appsmith experience are underway and visible if you look closely.

🚀 Features

• That whole drag-and-drop thing is Materially smoother! Google, are you listening? [#19047]

  Drag-and-drop.improvements_Appsmith.mp4
  • Widgets resize against the edges of the canvas if you keep pushing them against it.
  • They start to resize when you bring them against the edge of a container.
  • Hold them there and they start to push away the container and other widgets to reclaim their original size.
  • If they haven’t started doing that but they are still close to a container’s widget, holding them anywhere on their body and pushing them inside the container doesn’t feel like you are trying to phase them through a wall.

• Comment or uncomment away with ⌘ or Ctrl + / in any field that lets you write JavaScript. [#18667]

💪🏾 Improvements

• A cleaner navbar in preparation for a big change to your entire Appsmith experience [#19414]

  

• Performance improvements owed to smart logic for figuring out tooltips on a Table’s cell when the contents of the cell doesn’t fit. [#19056]

• storeValue ops are now batched for better performance. [#19247]

• Queries can now talk to a MySQL datasource on five connections instead of one, so your excuse to get up for coffee is now gone. Find another one, though. Coffee is important when coding. [#17873]

🐛 Bug fixes

• If you change names of widgets, say, a Text, in an app that already has a List widget with a similar name for an embedded Text widget, this kicks in for a more complete check of that change. [#19350]
• The Quick Page Wizard was smart enough to know if it didn’t have room for the Table on the page you were trying to create the app on. It is now smarter and creates a new page. [#19440]
• API URLs on Appsmith now understand the importance of dynamic bindings and don’t discard them. [#18987]
• User access caching is now working as expected and actions with dependencies on those accesses shouldn’t take any time at all. All in all, performance is back to normal. [#19849]
• Snowflake connections now work as expected. [#19827]
• For Appsmith Business instances that don’t have an OIDC dependency on APPSMITH_BASE_URL, we have brought back baseurl as the default value for redirects. Meaning, older OIDC configurations that didn’t have the environment variable work fine. Newer OIDC set-ups will need to talk to APPSMITH_BASE_URL. [#974)
• While Spring and Cognito talk to each other and fix scopes, we have made OIDC work with Cognito. [#968]
