Updates, changes, and improvements at Retool.
You can now test deployments when using Source Control, preventing changes that leave your Retool instance in a broken state. Retool added the Test source control changes endpoint to the Retool API, which enables you to test whether implementing a change will result in deployment issues.
You can also incorporate this check into your continuous integration process if desired.
Improvements to the Navigation component are now available. When you add a Navigation component to an app with multiple pages, Retool automatically configures the menu items to map to the pages of your app. Event handlers are also preconfigured, and clicking a menu item takes you to the corresponding page.
You can still customize the Navigation component to have different behavior, if desired. Refer to the Navigation guide for more information.
This change also made retoolContext.pages and retoolContext.currentPage available. Refer to the Retool Context reference for more information.
Self-hosted Retool 3.114 is now available on the Stable release channel.
Retool has deprecated version 1.0 of the Databricks connector. If your organization has any Databricks resources that still use this connector version, update the resource configuration to use the version 2.0 connector.
Self-hosted customers must also enable the Java DBConnector to use version 2.0 of Databricks connector.
Change the connector version from the Databricks resource's configuration settings. Any existing queries that previously worked with version 1.0 will continue to work with version 2.0.
The option to use version 1.0 of the Databricks connector will be removed in Q2 2025 from Retool Cloud and subsequent releases of self-hosted Retool.
Retool has deprecated version 1.0 of the MySQL connector. If your organization has any MySQL resources that still use this connector version, update their configuration to use the version 2.0 connector.
The option to use version 1.0 of the MySQL connector will be removed in Q2 2025 from Retool Cloud and subsequent releases of self-hosted Retool.
These features are no longer available on Retool Cloud and Self-hosted Retool 3.114 or later.
Due to potential security concerns, Retool is removing certain functionality that enables external app users to download images. No security breach or active vulnerability has occurred, and you do not need to take any security-specific actions.
External and embedded, publicly available apps will no longer support:
A new and improved version of the Checkbox Tree component is now available on Retool Cloud and for self-hosted organizations.
The new Checkbox Tree features:
Apps that contain modules are now much more performant and can load up to 1.5–2x faster than before. For self-hosted organizations, these improvements also reduce the resources needed by apps and modules, such as CPU load.
As a result of new features an improvements in self-hosted Retool 3.114, base memory usage for this and future releases is approximately 20% higher. If you experience performance issues after upgrading, consider increasing the allocated memory for your deployment.
You can now copy a query from one multipage app and paste it into another. Right-click on a query and select Copy then navigate or switch to a tab with another multipage app. You can paste the copied query as either a globally scoped or page-scoped query by right-clicking in the Code panel.
