What’s new

A whole bunch of JavaScript libraries are new to Appsmith, O’ Appsmiths, and we can’t be more excited for you to try them all out.

🚀 Features

• Introducing Custom JavaScript libraries, a long-awaited feature that unlocks a world of possibilities and makes it easy to extend your app’s functionalities to Ultra! [#17895]

  

  • Find Recommended Libraries, curated by popularity and your feedback, when you clicks the + next to Libraries in the Explorer.
  • Add your own libraries by pasting its URL in Appsmith. *See conditions when a library isn’t supported.*
  • See all your installed libraries in the Explorer.

💪 Improvements

• We aren’t entirely sure what Date Settings were doing in an Image column’s settings but we have now taken them out. [#20172]
• If you haven’t noticed it takes two clicks to check and uncheck the Select All box in the Checkbox Group widget, you are one of the lucky ones and lucky you shall stay. While at it, @ArjobanSingh also investigated why the Select All box was a little darker when disabled compared to other options and fixed that, too. [#19994], [#20046]
• Async functions that return a function as the executed value throw clone errors so you can reference other serializable data. [#20097]
• A smart birdie told us defaulting to async evaluations for all JavaScript evals prevents you from seeing an error with async evals from time to time. We listened to that birdie. [#20095]

🐛 Bug fixes

• Apps being unusable because your set theme can’t load? Upgrade to this version and say goodbye to unusable apps. [#20170]
• You will now see the Add row button even if you hide all other Table headers like search, pagination, and download. [#19952]
• While you are checking that out, note that there’s a complete divider now between the Table’s header and its rows. [#19967]
• MySQL columns with JSON data show right again. [#20080]
• Autocomplete now shows all functions for all JS Objects when trying to reference any of them in any JS Object. [#19943]
• A corner case that stopped the Appsmith server from talking to the RTS caused cyclic dependency errors in your app. That’s gone now. [#20012]
• Ansible-powered deployments now work as expected on EC2 Ubuntu instances. [#19974]
• The earlier fix failed with new user creation on MongoDB. We fixed that with this PR. The net-net of this is you can still run Appsmith on CPUs without AVX instructions if you are using a custom external MongoDB, not the one Appsmith ships with. [#20055]
• Remember the orange chat thing in the bottom right corner in Appsmith? That now works when you click Upgrade. Try it out, start a trial. :-) [#20246]
