Runtime 4.88.5 (Supported Stable)

We are excited to announce that runtime version 4.88.5 stable has been released.

Version 4.88 introduces the ability to upload and apply custom fonts to an app; includes updates to app digest cycles for improved app performance; and includes enhancements for the capture-signature UI component.

You can use this version of the runtime by selecting it from the list of stable runtime versions under App Settings/Runtime Version in OXIDE.

4.88.5:

Internal

• Internal updates to the capture-coordinates and display-coordinates components.

4.88.4:

Fixed

• An issue where the edit-typeahead dropdown in an object-table was not always fully visible when the column was one of the last columns of the table.

4.88.3:

Fixed

• A regression causing the checkboxes in an object-table edit-boolean cell to not center correctly when no label was provided.

• An issue where the capture-coordinates component would take long to load when entering a view from a cold start.

4.88.2:

Fixed

• An issue with the capture-file component causing it to get stuck in an infinite loading state.

• A regression resulting in a difference in row height when using frozen columns in an object-table.

4.88.1:

Fixed

• A regression where a button with an empty label displayed full-width, instead of shrinking to the size of the icon.

• An issue where a button or button-group with attribute type="primary" did not appear at the bottom of the view.

• An issue where object-table columns with action icons did not render the icon at the end of the cell.

4.88.0:

Added

• The ability to upload custom fonts and apply them in an app. Read more about this in the docs here.

• New font attribute to UI components to override the font on a component level.

• The following attributes to the capture-signature component:

  • orientation - See its docs here.

  • dialog-title - See its docs here.

  • Advanced styling attributes: dialog-title-color, dialog-title-background-color, dialog-divider-color, dialog-background-color, dialog-icon-color

Improved

• The draw-pad of the capture-signature component now includes a “Sign here” title to improve the user experience.

• App digest cycle performance (i.e. when the app recalculates values in the view):

  • We changed how often digest cycles are being run/enqueued:

    • Previously, most actions triggered (or enqueued) a digest cycle. This could cause multiple digest cycles to become enqueued and then at some point would block the user for an extended period until all digest cycles completed.

    • Now, digest cycles are only triggered when necessary. Specifically:

      • Blocking (non-concurrent) actions: a digest cycle is only triggered after all blocking actions complete.

        • Note: when a blocking action takes longer than a set period, a blocking spinner appears, preventing the user to perform any other actions.

        • Most actions are of this kind, e.g. components’ on- events and init and resume functions.

      • Non-blocking (concurrent or asynchronous) actions: only the last action to complete will trigger a digest cycle.

        • An example of this is the on-change event for a text-input.

  • Query results are now cached and re-used in digest cycles, only re-running the queries when a JS/TS function is called, such as in the case for on-scan, on-capture and on-change on input components. This makes the behavior of digest cycles more consistent with that of version 4.84 and previous versions of the JourneyApps Runtime.
