06/05/26 Release Notes (core)
Release date: 6 May 2026
🚀 New Features
Fullscreen Map Editor
A new fullscreen editor has been added to enhance the user experience when working with mappings. This graphical drag-and-drop interface makes working with large, complex mapping much easier.
Advanced editor ( Full screen )
Trigger From Here
You can now start a flow from any shape, not just the beginning. Right-click any shape on the canvas and select Trigger from here to open the advanced trigger modal from that point. A quick-trigger button is also available in the shape header so you can re-run a step without navigating away.
When triggering from a shape that has a parent payload available, those payloads are shown in a dropdown for easy selection — making it faster to re-test individual steps during development.
New Custom Script Templates
The custom script shape now supports a broader range of language runtimes, keeping your scripts up to date with modern language versions:
Node.js: 20, 22, 24
PHP: 8.3, 8.4, 8.5
Go: 1.26
Rust: 1.94
Where possible, packages from previous versions are carried over automatically.

Role Manager
A new Role Manager is available under Settings → General Admin → Role Manager (available to administrators only). It provides a centralised UI for managing permissions and roles without requiring code changes:
View all permissions assigned to a role
List all available roles
View roles and permissions assigned to a specific user
Create new custom roles and assign permissions to them
Assign or revoke roles and permissions from users
Note: The Role Manager cannot be used to create new permissions — only to organise and assign existing ones.
Oracle Database Connector
The database connector now supports Oracle DB (OCI) as a connection type, expanding the range of databases you can integrate with directly from a process flow.

Dark mode
The same amazing Patchworks UI, but now a little easier on the eyes.
🐛 Bug Fixes
Fix: Meta Variables Wiped After Receive Connector Shape
Meta variables were being incorrectly wiped when a flow passed through a Receive connector shape. Meta variables are now preserved correctly across all shapes.

Fix: Fallback Transform Does Not Support Meta Variables
The fallback transform was not correctly resolving meta variables. This has been fixed so meta variables work as expected in fallback transform configurations.
Fix: SFTP Connector UI Confusion
Several UI issues in the SFTP connector configuration that caused confusion when setting up connections have been resolved, improving the setup experience.

Fix: VE Filter for Flow Runs Table
The filter on the flow runs table in the visual editor (VE) was not functioning correctly. This has been resolved.
Fix: Handle Null TrackedData Payloads
An issue where null TrackedData payloads caused errors during flow execution has been resolved. These are now handled gracefully.
Fix: Flow Label Filter Now Uses AND Logic
The flow label filter previously used OR logic when multiple labels were selected, returning flows matching any of the selected labels. It now correctly uses AND logic, returning only flows that match all selected labels.
✨ Improvements
The following improvements have been made to the internals of the platform. They are not always directly visible to end users but contribute to stability, performance, and maintainability.
Clean Up Tasks + Disabling Old Canvas — Housekeeping tasks have been completed and the old canvas has been disabled as the new canvas becomes the standard.
Show MCP Operations as Their Own Line in the Operations Tooltip — MCP operations are now displayed as separate entries in the operations tooltip on the Insights page, improving clarity.
