Control Center Enhancements: Bug Fixes and Improvements

The Control Center, our standard admin panel, is the essential tool to effortlessly manage your Extra Horizon environments, users, schemas, tasks, and logs. In our latest release, we've focussed on improving the user experience while fixing some pesky bugs along the way.

Let’s dive into a high level overview of what we changed.

Usability Improvements ⬆️

• Login tokens now work across browser sessions.
• "Remember me" functionality added during login.
• Activation and forgot password flow added.
• Real link navigation in tables, allowing you to easily open multiple tabs with specific schema, user, or function details.
• RQL filter improved: Apply button added & size increase for more complex queries.
• Table component refactored: Improved pagination allowing users to skip to the top/end of the list and see the total number of results.
• Text wrapping of access logs and function logs.
  

Bugs Fixed 🐛🛠️

• Access logs refresh button
  

Text is now replaced by a refresh icon

• Tasks

Calculation of task execution is fixed and can no longer be a negative number

• Pagination

Resolved issues with RQL filter and pagination, returning users to the page with the correct values.

• Performance

Fixed performance issues caused by performing multiple requests.

• User permission

Users can now close the modal after adding custom permissions.

SDK v8.0.0: Breaking Ground with New Features

Our latest SDK version, v8.0.0, marks a significant milestone with three breaking changes, enhancing the capabilities and flexibility for our users.

Major Breaking Changes ⭐

• First change

RQL values are now double encoded by default when using the RQL builder.

• Second change

Starting from v8.0.0, the SDK will no longer normalize custom keys in requests and responses. All custom keys will be sent and received exactly as provided.

• Third change

For all unauthenticated methods, the response will now undergo the same transformation steps as any other request.

Please consult the Migration Guide for more information. 

New version of Schema Verification via the CLI, further elevating your user experience

Experience a revamped schema validation process with a second version of the CLI. We've fine-tuned the validation to make your schema management even more robust and user-friendly.

Key enhancements ⭐

• Id Property Validation in Arrays

New Feature: Added a validation check for id properties in objects within arrays in data schemas. Any discrepancies will now be reported as errors.

• Duplicate Transition Name Validation

New Feature: Introduced validation for duplicate transition names in data schemas. Any duplicates will now be reported as errors.

• Flexible Validation for Input Conditions

Enhancement: Modified the strictness of validation for properties of input conditions. Modifiers like enum, minLength, maxLength, etc., will no longer produce errors if not present in the condition property.
