Product Releases
and Updates
We released a new version of the Salesforce connector that’s super easy to use. You can refer to the updated documentation for guidance. In other good news, the Salesforce extension no longer needs to be referenced in the customer application, since we added public actions that wrap the extension's functions.
We’ve been working on enhancing your visual development experience. If you work a lot with the Dublin, Liverpool, and Lisbon templates, you’ll be happy to know that dragging screens onto the menu to create new entries just got a lot easier! The Lightbox component now displays navigation arrows when used with a group of photos. Just click to see the next one. Also, our calendar is ready for Firefox Quantum.
The OutSystems PaaS is now available in the AWS region EU-Central-1 (Frankfurt). Frankfurt is the second European AWS region supported by our Enterprise Cloud offers, which now total 7 (2 in the US, 2 in Asia, and 1 in Australia).
What if you could tweak CSS styles without actually having to use CSS? In the new Development Environment you can do exactly that. Introducing the new Styles Editor: No more CSS stress! We did all the hard work so you don't have to. You can change some CSS properties with just a few clicks now. It's not just easier: it's twice as fast, so you also save a lot of time.
Accelerate the user registration process! Use the User Registration Flow Web to register a new user to your web application in an easy and simple way. The Flow allows you to add new users using a form that fits any web app you can dream of.
The community spoke, and we created. We recently added two new features to the already awesome Drag and Drop component! Now you can long press an element before moving it, and sort it to display information any way you’d like!
Offline synchronization of mobile apps can be so frustrating! Unless you follow the OutSystems checklist, that is. This just-released offline synchronization checklist walks you through items you need to consider for maintaining mobile app performance. So, now you can design an app that is not only frustration-proof but is also easy to change and update in the future. End-user experience guidelines are also included.
The In-App Chat component is now available for web. It easily integrates with any web app and it works seamlessly with its mobile counterpart so users get the best experience anytime, any place. Receive messages in real time, share attachments—photos, videos, audio, and different file formats.
We're putting the focus on easy and great app development. To make your life easier, we've implemented a series of warnings to guide you towards the best development practices. To help you deliver apps that perform like a dream, we even introduced a new warning category: Performance Suggestion.
