Thanks to our contributors and developers, we've made some significant enhancements to Lowcoder.
We're excited to share with you the latest improvements, updates, and fixes we've made to our Platform.
New Features 💫
Branding / White Labeling Support:
Users can now personalize the application with their own logos for a more branded experience. This is the first and most important step to ensure for you as Application Developer and Builder the ability to place your brand. We will continue to open Lowcoder for further branding configurations.
Layout Control
We've introduced global and local margin/padding settings for all visual components, giving you better control over your layout.
From spacy wide layouts to very compact application designs.
Update for the Magnetic Grid System:
Users can now set grid density in themes according to their preferences. That helps to build pixel-perfect apps using the magnetic grid system on a configurable spacing.
Lottie Animation Support:
The application now supports Lottie animations, providing more options for interactive UI design.
Speed is everything 🚀
With the improvements, we reached impressive numbers! From a maximum of 50 parallel users per container, we managed to support now a scale of up to 5000. That is a hundred times faster! Or cheaper for your deployments, cause it needs fewer resources to serve a higher amount of concurrent users.
This is an important step towards our vision to support not only internal apps but customer-facing B2C / B2B2C apps too.
Security & Configuration Updates 🔐
Internal Libraries & Code Cleanup:
We've made several security updates to many internal libraries and performed code cleanup to optimize the performance.
Configurable API Rate Limiting:
The application now allows users to configure API rate limiting, or even switch it off as per their requirements.
Users now have the ability to globally configure request sizes.
We've cleaned up the naming for many ENV variables for better clarity and easier understanding.
API Service Updates 💎
API Service Building with Tests:
The API service Java Code now builds including tests, which is a significant improvement to our previous versions. We've fixed and developed many tests for the API service to ensure its stability and performance. We will continue to add tests to ensure high code quality and test coverage.
Updated Spring Security:
We've updated Spring Security to the most current version for better safety and reliability.
Contributor Enhancements 👊🏻
Chinese Language Environment:
Special thanks to our contributors, the Chinese language environment is now up and running again.
Bug Fixes for HELM Charts:
Numerous bugs in the HELM charts for Kubernetes Deployment were fixed, ensuring stable working deployments.
We're grateful for the support and contributions from our dedicated users. Your feedback is instrumental in these enhancements and improvements, and we look forward to continuing to build a stronger and more feature-rich application with you.
Should you have any questions, issues, or suggestions, please don't hesitate to reach out to our support team.
