Release notes
Continuous improvement
Our release policy is to release a new version as soon as we have new functionality ready for production use. We don't 'save up' lots of changes and new features for a 'big' release. This way you get to use the latest software as soon as we have fully tested it, and it saves you from having to catch up with lots of changes at one time.
The release notes below highlight recent functional changes to the system. Other changes that don't affect the way you use the system (such as efficiency gains) are not normally noted, to keep the list as clear as possible. Updates are always backwards compatible with existing sites.

|
| | 25 August 2022 Query by Example Component This new component allows very flexible search interfaces to be constructed. Previously, queries had a Query by Example surface associated with them. While that still exists, the new Query by Example component is standalone and more powerful and recommended to be used instead. This can be used to control the records shown from multiple embedded queries, and multiple QBE components can be embedded on the same page working together. Triggering is by ajax, so there is no full page request required, and triggering can be done on keypress, rather than waiting for the user to click a Submit button. The Query by Example fields can also listen to ajax calls themselves, and use this to narrow the selection of options being presented to the user. This allows for rich product catalog searches interfaces to be constructed.
