Table and Grid View: Cursor-Based Server-Side Pagination ⏮️ ⏭️

We’ve added cursor-based server-side pagination for table and grid view components. This means smoother, faster data navigation. Read more about it in the documentation,

Actions panel updates 💻

We've made significant improvements to the developer experience of the actions panel. Now, you can open actions, variables, and JavaScript files in separate tabs, making navigation easier during development. Some additional changes include:

• setup and finish configurations for actions (notifications, delays, and triggers) - are now located in distinct, more visible setup and finish steps;
• a new panel for step/action-specific documentation appeared, where developers can leave detailed notes and improve collaboration within apps;
• the Usages tab has been moved to the right actions sidebar.

Automations: Cookie Storage 🍪

Automations just got a sweet upgrade – we’re talking cookies! Now, if any HTTP step receives a cookie, subsequent steps will include that cookie in their requests. 

Automations: State Variables  📀

Yes, you heard that right! State variables are finally here in the Automations module.

Container Components: Expand Content to Fit 🚛

Introducing the new container setting that lets your single-component page automatically adjust to the user's screen size with just one checkbox. It’s like yoga for your UI – flexible and always fitting just right. Check out the details here.

Spanner: CRUD Actions ⌨️

We’ve added predefined actions for the Spanner data source. This means you can save your time on simple queries and focus on more complex actions.
