Updates, changes, and improvements at Retool.
Webdriver tests are a great way to ensure that your Retool app is working as expected. They can be run on your local machine, against a staging instance, or in a CI/CD pipeline against your development branch to ensure that your app is working as expected.
A new and improved version of the Loop Block is now available in beta. If you'd like to participate, complete this form to request access.
The new Loop Block features:
Once enabled, any new Loop blocks added to workflows will use Loop block v2. Existing Loop blocks will continue to function as before.
The new Add new row Toolbar action makes it possible to input values directly into the Table component. New rows are added to the table's changeset to save. Adding rows directly to a table provides an alternative method to using a separate Form component and input fields.
Retool is aware of CVE-2024-3094, a backdoor affecting versions 5.6.0 and 5.6.1 of xz-utils. Self-hosted Retool images are not affected, and no action is required. Retool Cloud infrastructure and services are not impacted.
If you have any questions or concerns, please reach out to security@retool.com.
Internationalization (i18n) is now in beta for organizations on the Enterprise plan. This allows you to localize Retool app content and data.
This beta is available on Retool Cloud and self-hosted deployments running Retool 3.38 or later. Contact your Retool account team to request early access.
Admins for organizations on the Enterprise plan can now copy apps, resources, Query Library queries, and workflows across Spaces.
You can now set private or public access for files uploaded to Retool Storage. Each file in your Retool organization has a public URL that you can enable by making the file public.
Files uploaded to Retool Storage are private by default, and you can switch between private or public access at any time. When uploading files with a Retool Storage resource query, you can enable Make file public on upload to automatically make them public.
We're continuing to make performance improvements after recently upgrading to React 18. Update batching groups state updates together, rather than perform each one separately, to optimize performance. This results in a more responsive experience in Retool and faster page load times.
The Image column type for the Table component now supports image uploads directly to Retool Storage. Enable Allow uploading images to allow users to upload and replace images to Retool Storage.
Enterprise plan organizations on Retool Cloud or with a self-hosted deployment running Retool 3.38 Edge or later can connect and send all audit log events to Datadog.
