We're thrilled to announce that the release candidate (RC) for Elsa 3.2.0 is now available! This new version brings a host of improvements, bug fixes, and exciting new features designed to enhance your workflow automation experience.
🚀 Key Highlights
- JS Intellisense Support: Thanks to our wonderful contributors, JS Intellisense has been restored, enabling you to get suggestions related to workflow variables.
- Performance: Caching workflow definitions, JavaScript ASTs, and JSON serializer options yield an incredible performance boost.
- Data Storage Reduction: Workflow instance data compression and the ability to control which outputs of which activities are included in log entries, another great contribution from our community, offer greater control over your database size.
- Reliability: We continue our journey to improve Elsa's robustness and reliability with the addition of end-to-end (component) tests, vastly increasing coverage of code and a multitude of scenarios.
- Read-Only Mode: Workflow editing can be disabled at the application level and on an individual workflow definition level. This is handy when deploying workflows to production environments where users should be able to view workflows, but not edit them.
- Bug Fixes: Resolved several issues to ensure a smoother experience.
