Highlights

Action transforms

Action transforms are used to perform arbitrary transformations to the HTTP request generated by an action.
This allows you to connect REST APIs and other existing APIs without writing any middleware/wrapper service.

You can transform the request method and the URL:

You can also transform the request body:

Event Trigger transforms

You can now modify the HTTP request that is sent to your Event Trigger webhook by using Event Trigger transforms.
This allows you to invoke any existing or 3rd party APIs directly without writing any middleware to transform the request first.

As with Action transforms, you can modify the HTTP method, URL and the body.

SQL Server Mutations

Insert and Delete mutations for SQL Server are now supported. Only Update mutations are remaining.

Root field name and type name customization per source (#6974)

When adding a source it is now possible to specify prefixes and suffixes
that will be added to all root field names and type names generated for that
source. It is also possible to specify a root "namespace" field to use for the
source. This can be done via *_add_source API and console support will be released soon.

Function field names customization (#7405)

It is now possible to specify the GraphQL names of tracked SQL functions in
Postgres sources, and different names may be given to the _aggregate and
suffix-less versions. Aliases may be set by both
/v1/metadata/pg_track_function and the new API endpoint
/v1/metadata/pg_set_function_customization.

Support for Mac M1

Hasura now supports the arm64 architecture and works on Mac M1 (closes #6337)
Caveat: MS-SQL as a data source is not supported on arm64/M1 yet (refer #7903)

Fixes and improvements

server: Ignore unexpected fields in action responses (#5731)
server: optimize SQL query generation with LIMITs
server: add GraphQL request query in the payload for synchronous actions
server: improve the event trigger logging on errors
NOTE: This change introduces a breaking change, earlier when there
was a client error when trying to process an event, then the status was reported as 1000. Now, the status will be NULL if there is no status received from the webhook.
server: support extensions field in error responses from action webhook endpoints (fix #4001)
server: fix custom-check based permissions for MSSQL (#7429)
server: remove identity notion for table columns (fix #7557)
server: support MSSQL transactions
server: log individual operation details in the http-log during a batch graphQL query execution
server: update create_scheduled_event API to return event_id in response
server: fix bug which allowed inconsistent metadata to exist after the replace_metadata API even though allow_inconsistent_object is set to false.
server: fix explicit null values not allowed in nested object relationship inserts (#7484)
server: introspect_remote_schema API now returns original remote schema instead of customized schema
server: prevent empty subscription roots in the schema (#6898)

is still accepted and this is a non-breaking change.

server: log locking DB queries during source catalog migration
server: fix to allow remote schema response to contain an "extensions" field (#7143)
