Major Changes
  • This release brings build number 61 with several runtime improvements.
    • The OAuth 2.0 authorization interceptor in the Rest Template component contained client 'Authentication methods’ that were invalid and caused a flow not to start in build 59. Also the clockskew is now configurable so we can handle the requirements of more oauth2 authentication providers.
    • The Amazon S3 authentication interceptor in the Rest Template component had a threading issue where the key would be invalid on heavy usage. The threading has been changed and is now behaving correctly.
    • In several flow designer components, you can add Groovy scripts. Since build 59 using FastStringUtils (JSON parsing) in Groovy scripts did not work.
    • For Gen3 runtimes we upgraded to Spring Boot 2.6.6 to bring the latest security patches.
Minor Changes
  • Create - Flow designer: Message Definitions: Added JSON Array support for JSON message definitions. Using this, you can have an array of simple values based on an entity.
  • Create - Flow testing: Flow testing has better support for components that use flow resources like groovy scripts or database initialization scripts.
  • Create - Flow testing: Flow testing was not compatible with flows that contain queued message channels.
  • Manage - Monitoring: We removed the obsolete statistics screens 'Channel statistics', 'Handler statistics', and 'Cloud statistics'.
Bug Fixes
  • Design - Message Mapping: We fixed an issue where some warnings were showing as errors in right panel.
  • Create - Flow Designer: Improved transformation of JSON messages when 2 similar structures in the source message definition are mapped to the same structure in the output definition.
Remarks
  • Mendix Runtime has been upgraded to Mendix 9.12.1.
