Product Releases and Updates

Automatically identify hotspots causing bad performance, reliability issues, and security vulnerabilities with the new AI-powered code analysis engine in Architecture Dashboard. The new engine brings improved detection accuracy, and is able to point out complex code patterns that would be hard to spot otherwise, freeing you valuable time on manual reviews. You can find these three new patterns under the Performance and Security categories in Architecture Dashboard: Aggregate or SQL query inside a cycle, Sequence of connected Aggregates, and Insecure usage of GetUserId function on client context.

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.
