2025 08 20 release notes (core)
Release summary
This page summarises items scheduled for the following release to the Patchworks Core Production environment.
v2025-8-20
Wednesday 20th August 2025 (a.m)
This release is currently in testing; therefore, the items detailed below (together with associated documentation) are subject to change. Please check back on release day for final updates.
New features, updates, and enhancements of note are summarised by product area, below:
Process flows
Connector shape retries
If a process flow runs and a connector shape fails, the default behaviour is to retry the connection three times. We've fixed an issue where the connector shape did not retry if the next shape in the flow was a track data shape.
Connector shape
CPT-4193
Cross-reference lookup name changes
Fixed an issue where changing the name of a cross-reference lookup table would cause map shapes to fail if they included references to that cross-reference lookup table in field transformations. Now, any name change cascades down to existing cross-reference lookup transforms.
Cross-reference lookups
CPT-3442
Set variable from payload field with spaces
Fixed an issue where using the set variables shape to define a variable from an incoming payload field with spaces (for example: [[payload.customer id]]) did not resolve correctly.
Set variables shape
CPT-4197
Connectors & instances
Authentication certificates
Some systems require a certificate to communicate with their target server. This functionality is now built into the connector instance creation wizard.
When adding an instance for any connector (irrespective of the selected authentication method), you can access certificates settings to upload a certificate and (optionally) enter an associated passphrase.
Currently, p12 certificates are supported.
Adding a new instance
CPT-4520
Virtual environments
Deleting virtual environments
Previously, deleting a virtual environment meant that the virtual environment name could not be used again. Following this update, names used for now-deleted virtual environments can be reused.

CPT-4547
Virtual environment summaries
When viewing the virtual environments overview page, each existing environment is displayed as a tile with summary information, including a list of deployed process flows. This list is now limited to three displayed items. If appropriate, the list is followed by an indicator that additional flows are present. Hover your cursor over this indicator to view the names of these flows.

Connector builder
Endpoint schemas
Fixed an issue where deleting the schema for a connector endpoint did not also clear the associated data path.
Endpoints - schema & taxonomy
CPT-4075
Administration
Company creation optimisation
Behind the scenes, the company creation process has been optimised with the introduction of database pools. The average time taken to create a new company is now three times faster than previously.
Company management
CPT-4497
Patchworks API
Blueprint flow tagging
When a process flow is installed via a blueprint, it is now tagged with a marketplace_app_id . Accordingly, you can use the Patchworks API to filter flows by a given marketplace_app_id value.
Flows API
CPT-4350
API Key creation during company creation
When creating companies via the Patchworks API, a new with_api_key boolean parameter can be used to generate an associated API key automatically. This works as follows:
If a
with_api_keyvalue is not provided or set tofalse, an API key is not created.If the
with_api_keyvalue is set totrue, an API key is generated and returned in the response.
