• All Git links are now parsed and created on the backend.

• Backend determines highlighting.

• Introduced Context View for upstream and related messages.

• Restyled log detail view to match context view.

• Refined database exporting.

• Support for Git URLs within groups and subgroups.

• Updated create repository screen.

• Collections must be saved with a name.

• Improved commit screen file tree.

• Component names can be used in component APIs instead of GUIDs.

• Enhanced tooltips in the dashboard.

• Improved database importer screen.

• Stability improvements.

• Users are not logged out when navigating to the root page.

• A red warning dot appears on the menu option when there is a warning on a library.

• Added Git Servers screen for managing local and cloud Git servers.

• Bulk action screens now display the list of components being acted on. See Deleting Components.

• Tag colours are now consistent with the content.

• Moved filter tags to the map from the list.

Bug Fixes:

• Fixed issues with Git operations involving libraries.

• Fixed a blank component name crash.

• Updated the archived folder.

• Fixed MS SQL Server queries using ODBC drivers for Amazon Linux 2023

Stability

• No memory leaks for running interfaces in production

  • This is a major milestone - we’re now confident in being able to support customers running IguanaX in production.

  • We already do run IguanaX in production ourselves internally.

• A lot unit tests being written. We’re applying Conversational idea of RIT with each problem we fix.

Usability - Lots of delightful tweaks in the product to make it easier to use and simpler to learn

• We streamlined the forget your password workflow

  • New tutorial starter to get started

  • We put in helpful feedback for this Network Access - where Iguana needs to connect

  • Connecting components is off by default.

  • Add file dialog for the translator got a make over

  • Exporting Tables From VDB files got some love

  • No more refreshing your browser after upgrades!

  • Repository management screen now comes up lightening fast - we cached the workspace lookup to Bitbucket and we remember the last workspace you selected.

  • Log test purge rules have better geometry management for 100 components or so

  • Can edit Javascript files in the translator - thanks to Lev for spotting this omission

  • Search navigation improved.

  • Default rules for purging simplified - now we just have * wild card rule for 60 days.

Two very major changes:

• INIT call

  • Now components which have no upstream component will have their main(Data) function called with Data set equal to “INIT”. This is very significant change since most of our upstream components like the File reader, HL7 server were written with the assumption it was necessary to have a function outside of the main() function to initialize it. As a result it is necessary to update many of the core components.

• Working Directory location is changing.

  • Prior to 10.1.86 we had a much more deeply nested file structure. So deeply nested that in fact we ran into the limitation that by default windows does not support file paths deeper than 240 characters.

  • So we shortened the location of the instance directory from having /iNTERFACEWARE/IguanaX/<guid>/ to just IguanaX and we moved the locations of these directories:

    • components/repositories → repos

    • components/run → run

    • components/configurations → configurations/components

    • components/configurations/fields → configurations/fields

  • We shortened component guids to take the first 10characters

  • This change breaks compatibility of tools like the channel importer which needed to be updated with the new file structure.

On the positive side the new file structure is substantially shorter and easier to read - this what is was:

and after:

Much easier to read and understand. IguanaX will try and rename the directories to fit the new structure.

These were two big important changes that we wanted to get in earlier into the product while it is still pre-production. If you any trouble upgrade please reach out - we’re happy to help you.

Other significant changes:

• Translator is now it’s own screen

• A lot of usability issues resolved

• A lot improvements in stability

• Simplified webservices to make porting from Iguana 6 simpler.

• Support for Lua COM reimplemented - this is a library for invoking COM libraries on windows.

• Preview for SQLite files - nice little feature

• Helpful Translator functionality allowing you to view PDF documents in a new tab rather than downloading them to view - Custom files in components.

• Right click for downloading files added.
