Introduction

We are thrilled to announce a monumental update to Lowcoder, marking a significant leap in our journey. This release isn't just an upgrade; it's a transformation, expanding Lowcoder's capabilities far beyond its original scope. It is also an invitation! We invested a lot of time in the renewed Component Plugin Mechanism, making it a "piece of cake" to develop Components for Lowcoder. Give it a try. You can start from here: https://github.com/lowcoder-org/lowcoder-create-component-plugin

Performance and Security Update

Speed and Safety Upgraded: Experience a noticeable enhancement in application performance.
This fundamental upgrade not only makes Lowcoder faster but also elevates its security standards.

Component Plugin Mechanism Overhaul

Simplified Component Development: Dive into component creation without the hassle of navigating the extensive Lowcoder codebase. Develop components locally using individual repositories and share your creativity through the NPM registry.

Expanded OAuth Support

Seamless Authentication: With the addition of GitHub, Google, KeyCloak, and ORY, our OAuth capabilities are now production-ready. Enhanced user management with automatic merging of users with identical email addresses across multiple logins.

Improved OAuth API Integration

Streamlined API Interactions: Leverage the re-use of Auth Tokens (JWT) for Rest-API, GraphQL, and OpenAPI. This feature allows impersonated users to make authenticated API calls, enhancing backend integration.

Administrative Updates

ENV Variables Cleanup: We've streamlined environment variables for clearer administrative settings, particularly for self-hosted installations.

Important Notice: Breaking Changes

Test Before Transition: Due to the extensive nature of updates, existing setups may encounter breaking changes. We strongly recommend setting up a parallel testing environment before fully transitioning to this version.
Styling Adjustments Needed: The introduction of default styling values may disrupt existing app designs. However, these changes open doors to more dynamic styling options and are easy to adapt to.

The Bigger Picture

Unifying Diverse Tools: This release propels Lowcoder towards our ambitious goal of merging three core functionalities - rapid app development, website building, and presentation tools. Moreover, we're enriching this ecosystem with video call capabilities and collaborative features. And our journey doesn't stop here. We are committed to expanding our authentication providers, enhancing role and claim management in JWT, and introducing more user-centric features in upcoming releases.

Conclusion

This release is a giant stride forward in our mission to redefine application development and collaboration. We eagerly await your feedback and can't wait to see the remarkable applications you'll create with these new capabilities.

We wish you a perfect Start into 2024 and happy App Developing!
