We are excited to announce the release of Lowcoder v2.6.2, a refined update that enhances usability, expands layout flexibility, and resolves a key issue in the home view.
Key Improvements and Fixes
Updating to Ant Design to v5.23.4.
With the update comes a large number of improvements and fixes. We do not expect visual changes in Lowcoder Apps - but slight performance improvement.
Enhanced Responsive Layout
The Responsive Layout component has been renewed, giving users more fine-grained control over their app’s behavior on different screen sizes. With improved adaptability, applications can now react even better to mobile device resolutions, ensuring a seamless experience across all platforms.
Introducing the Split Layout Component
With this release, we are adding the Split Layout component, empowering App Creators to give users control over their app’s view. This feature allows users to manage layouts dynamically using a drag-and-drop divider, making it easier to customize the interface according to their needs.
Optimized Lowcoder SDK Bundling
We worked on the bundling of Lowcoder SDK, so the biggest single file would not be 3MB but around 500k.
By this we made it to 606kb as biggest File and split up the SDK files much smarter than before.
This will have a good impact on page loading times that uses the Lowcoder SDK.
Bug Fixes and Performance Enhancements
This version addresses a small but problematic issue in the home view, ensuring smoother navigation and functionality. Additionally, several refinements have been made across the platform, including:
- Improved event panel handling, ensuring proper updates when queries change.
- Unique naming enforcement for variable headers, reducing conflicts and improving editor stability.
- Fixed issues related to cancelled requests in custom components.
- Addressed a null pointer exception when editingApplicationDSL was null.
- Various UI refinements, including new icons, preview enhancements, and menu improvements after
