New Home - fresh Color

This is a truly minor maxi bugfix release.
We introduced in v2.4.11 the bug of Auto-Height for components with inner Grid.
This is solved and mainly the release is about this fix.

Other than that, we had a hint from a community member, that the login request fails "too often". (around 8% of requests)
We did research and found the solution.

Still Arrival

Lowcoder Release 2.4.9

Dear Lowcoder Community,

First of all, we would like to apologize for any inconvenience caused by the issues present in the previous release. Your experience is our top priority, and when something falls short, it matters to us just as much as it does to you.

In the morning, we discovered a bug that significantly impacted user experience. As soon as it came to our attention, our team jumped into action to identify the root cause and release a fix immediately.

The bug was about a frequent re-rendering of the user interface. It looked pretty much like "flickering" on user interaction.
Apps itself or any function was not affected - just the display.

Lowcoder 2.4.9 addresses this issue. We appreciate your patience and understanding while we resolved this matter and thank you for being an active part of our community.

If you face any further issues or have suggestions, feel free to reach out to us through our support channels.

New Features

New & Updated Translations

• New Languages Added: We now support Chinese, English, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, German, and Russian. More languages will follow. The new Languages Italian, Spanish and Russian are fully auto-generated. It would be amazing if you can help us to correct the flaws, so the translation will increase it it's quality! Soon we will prepare a small App, that can help to achieve this for you.

Table Enhancements

• Summary Rows in Tables: You can now add up to three empty rows that are unconnected to the data source and fill them with summary calculations or status/progress displays (e.g., "SUM", "TAX", "TOTAL"). Data calculations can be performed for each column based on the bound table data object or other queries. (#1114)
• Improved Table Editing Experience: Editing data in tables is now more efficient. Users can activate edit mode with a single click or double-click (configurable by the App Creator) and navigate through cells using the tab key, which auto-activates edit mode. (#1114)
• New Record Edit Rows: App Creators can activate a new row type displayed at the end of the table to enable users to enter new records. The data is accessible as table.toInsertRows and can be bound to a different Data Query (e.g., INSERT). (#1114)

Timezone Support for Date and Time Components

• Timezone Selection: The App Editor can set a default timezone for Date, Date-Range, Time, and Time-Range components or allow users to select the corresponding timezone. The time.timeZone provides a JSON object with information about the user-selected timezone, and time.formattedValue includes the timezone name accordingly. (#1144, #1151, #1162)

Calendar Updates with Tab-Modal

• Enhanced Event Data Entry: Provides more fine-grained control for event data entry in the calendar.
• Improved Visuals for Past Events: Colors are now also applied to past events with a slight grey layer, making it visually clear that these events are in the past.

FirebirdSQL Data Source

• New Data Source Support: Added support for FirebirdSQL as a data source. (#1136, #1140)

Private NPM Registry Support

• Private Component Repositories: Changed the Remote Components Repository mechanism to support private hosted repositories. App Creators and companies can now operate and use a private NPM repository for their individual component plugins, which also aids in component plugin development. (#1061)

Concurrent App Editing Display

• Optimistic Locking Strategy: Introduced a display to notify when another user is editing the app. If User A is editing an app and User B opens the same app, User B will receive a notice that User A is editing. After 3 minutes of inactivity from User A, the lock will be removed, and User B can proceed to edit the app. (#1113, #1163)

Improvements

App Rendering Optimization

• Minimized Re-rendering: Invested time to optimize and speed up app rendering, enhancing the overall experience for App Users. (#1147, #1159)

Unified Waiting Indicators

Added the possibility to generally activate or deactivate the loading display for "App Loading" and "Data Query Loading" via Themes. (#1146)

Improved SMTP Server Support

• Fixed SMTP Server Issues: Resolved issues with the SMTP server to send password reset emails. (#1171)

Stability Update

We are thankful not only for your patience with us but also for your help in reporting issues, such as bugs and wishful features.
In this small update we worked further on the fixing and stabilization of v2.4. and rounded up the OAuth Token Matching.
Now you can indeed match directly email -> email from the token.

When a new account Signs in with your Generic OAuth Provider, then Lowcoder will try to find the email when pointed as matching configuration and not simply "false". We will look in eMails of the eMail Auth Provider - but also in eMails of existing different OAuth providers for an account (imagine you use Linkedin and want to match with an eMail of a user which used Facebook before)

Also, we turned the default value of "prevent overriding Styles" on App Level to "true", so at first try and opening of existing apps with a new theme - the app will stay pretty much without influence. Only if you then place new components, they will behave after the new Theme.
