Product Releases and Updates

Does your company’s SAP servers store much of your data? Fear not! The improved experience of Service Studio Mac now allows you to create and manage connections from Service Studio to your SAP servers and make use of all those BAPI remote functions. Also available in Windows Beta. Have you moved to the modern SAP OData protocol, check out the OutSystems Integration Builder.

Architecture Dashboard now gives architects and team leads the ability to ignore teams, apps, Forge components, and individual modules. You will be able to bulk-ignore modules instead of going through an extensive list. Analyzing all modules in a factory can result in a misleading technical debt score, and developers may waste time resolving issues that are not a priority. To help your development team focus on the highest priorities, you can control what gets analyzed or ignored on the next sync. Learn more about ignoring modules during tech debt analysis.

Integrations with external databases in Integration Builder are now generally available and fully supported by OutSystems. Integrate with SQL, Server, Azure SQL, Oracle, MySQL, iDB2, and PostgreSQL and do with Integration Builder what you used to do with Integration Studio, only with an improved experience. Find more about it in our documentation.

Upgrading the Platform Server is easier with the new progressive modules preparation. Instead of compiling all modules at once, the process occurs in small batches. Now, you can work on other modules while one batch is in preparation and resume the development of top consumed modules faster as the Platform Server prepares those first. The modules preparation is more resilient to failures: it no longer restarts from scratch if an error occurs, and if you need to relaunch, the already successfully prepared modules won't be included in the retry, making it better and faster.

Try Platform Server's new version 11.15.0.

Easily connect your apps with the most popular no-SQL database, MongoDB. The new integrations are available exclusively in the latest version of Integration Builder and fully supported by the OutSystems platform. Find out more about MongoDB integrations in our documentation.

Integrate with PostgreSQL and Aurora PostgreSQL relational databases on Integration Builder and get an enhanced experience with one of the most popular database management systems. You can also find this external database provider on Integration Studio. Find more about it in our documentation.

Have you ever wanted to add or remove environments automatically to and from LifeTime? Now you can automate those processes with the new extensibility APIs available from LifeTime version 11.11.0.

You can now develop all layers of Traditional Web apps (logic, interface, and data), translate the interface into other languages, rearrange and detach top-level tabs, refresh REST APIs, and consume SOAP web services in this new Service Studio version. Add and manipulate widgets more precisely in the UI editor; zoom in and out in the flows with the new canvas zoom. The performance and stability are also improved for better use. We’re releasing features and improvements every week. Download this version with the beautiful new UI, enhanced usability, and a dark theme on Service Studio Mac or Windows Beta.

Build rich and interactive Leaflet maps without having to install an additional component. Now, as well as Google Maps, OutSystems Maps also supports Leaflet, one of the leading open-source and free map libraries. Check our working samples and respective documentation, and stay tuned for more features we’ll be adding to this component.

Find even more elements with the new and improved AI-assisted development quick search. Now when you receive inline suggestions and don't find what you're looking for, not only you'll get contextual actions, but you will also be able to search and add toolbox nodes directly to your flow.

You can now set the access permissions of your integration in Integration Builder and define read-only or read and write access at the object or entity level. Easily use an integration without extensive knowledge of the underlying system of record, avoiding altogether corrupting the external system data by calling an action that other developers shouldn't access.

Efficiently analyze and manage technical debt across all your apps with the new overview area on Architecture Dashboard. There you can have an overall glimpse of your apps' technical debt, plus a detailed analysis of the categories and code patterns that contribute the most to it. Additionally, you can see its daily evolution and variation to focus on the specific apps, modules, and teams that need your attention the most. Find more about the new overview area here.

Develop apps faster with screen building blocks that you can easily use and change according to your needs. Designed for Reactive Web and Mobile apps, the OutSystems Accelerators component covers industry-specific customer use cases with sample data, so you can quickly bootstrap the development of your apps.

With the latest Integration Builder version, you can easily connect your apps with OutSystems supported external databases: SQL Server, Azure SQL, Oracle, MySQL, and iDB2. Do with Integration Builder what you used to do with Integration Studio, only with an improved experience. Find more about it on our documentation and stay tuned as we’ll soon support even more database providers.

Customize your Reactive Web app’s URLs with the new SEO-friendly URLs feature, now available for everyone. Create site rules in Service Center and customize the page URL structure and page names directly in Service Studio. To improve your site ranking on search engines, you can also add robots.txt and sitemap.xml resources to your apps.

Define the content and structure of your emails and send them in your Mobile and Reactive Web apps with the built-in emails feature, now generally available. Use pre-built templates and customize them according to your needs in Service Studio to easily get started.

The OutSystems Charts have been updated, taking advantage of the Highcharts v9.2 charting library. This long-due update brings improved security for your apps, including additional chart types such as dependency charts, organizational or timeline charts. Accessibility features have also been improved. The team is also actively maintaining and evolving the component, meaning more frequent updates and active forum support to answer your questions.

The latest Mobile Apps Build Service (MABS) version will progressively roll out starting today. Safely submit your mobile apps to the App Store and Play Store throughout next year with MABS 8, which uses iOS 15 SDKs and Android 12 with the API level 31. Before updating MABS, you need to update all supported plugins to their latest versions. For more details, check the MABS 8 release notes.

Make the best use of health and fitness data gathered from smartwatches in your mobile apps with the Health & Fitness plugin. Through the Healthkit and Google Fit APIs, you can access, read, and write this data and explore the countless use cases that benefit from it. There are already 16 different variables for you to explore, and many more are coming soon.

You can now group columns under a single header, and create multiple column levels on Data Grid Reactive. Grouped columns improve readability and offer the ability to expand and collapse columns. Server-side pagination is also available to reduce the initial load time of large data sets and instead load them on demand. Check out our working samples and documentation to learn more about it!
