Updates, changes, and improvements at Retool.
Refer to the stable and edge release notes for detailed information about self-hosted releases.
Split Pane is a new web app frame pattern that allows users to create a resizable and scrollable frame, with a custom width, alongside the main canvas. You can add a Split Pane frame from the Frames section, or drag it onto the canvas from the Component Tree.
You can now enable collaborators on Source Control branches. Source Control branches are private by default and only allow changes by the owner. On collaborative branches, multiple users can commit changes and submit pull requests to protected elements.
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 to cloud instances and self-hosted instances on version 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.
