General

Type	Summary	Ref #
Enhancement	PW logo on login page The Patchworks logo on the login screen has been updated to display correctly against the current background.	CPT-3880
Bug	'Confirm' on delete confirmation does not work in foreign languages Fixed an issue where the delete confirmation modal did not accept the localised confirmation word when the dashboard language was set to a non-English language. The confirmation now accepts either confirm or the localised equivalent.	CPT-3380
Bug	Translations updates on all Shapes Fixed an issue where some shapes (e.g. connector and flow control shapes) were not respecting the user's selected language and continued to display in English.	CPT-3100
Bug	Minor text changes for case consistency Fixed tooltip text for process flow action buttons - Initialise Flow and Initialise Flow with data have been updated to sentence case.	CPT-3901

Process flows

Type	Summary	Ref #
New	Manage your Flows - new UI A new folder-based structure has been introduced for the process flows page. Flows can now be organised into collapsible, nested folders with drag-and-drop support. Deleting a folder moves its flows to the root level. A toggle provides access to folder management.	CPT-5579
New	Delete packages Users can now delete packages from the packages page. A confirmation prompt is displayed before deletion.	CPT-5543
Enhancement	Phase 3 - revision list, cleanup and refactor Flow versioning has been significantly enhanced. A new Save Version button allows saving without deploying. Inactive versions are soft-limited to 10. The version list has been redesigned with improved copy/revert options, change history, and a dedicated deployments tab. Additional canvas improvements include context menu enhancements, viewport persistence, and improved error messaging.	CPT-5535
Enhancement	Map Shape UI Update: Phase 1 - Reduce clicks (mapping sidebar redesign) The mapping sidebar has been redesigned to reduce the number of clicks needed to build mapping rows, improving the flow-building experience.	CPT-5412
Enhancement	Create new start API endpoint that accepts standard JSON payload New /raw API endpoints have been added for webhooks, start, manual, and callback triggers, allowing standard JSON payloads without the need to wrap them as a JSON string. Existing endpoints remain unchanged for backwards compatibility.	CPT-5156
Enhancement	API endpoints to enable Flow Builder via AI Assistant using MCP New API endpoints have been added to support flow building via AI assistants using the Patchworks MCP server.	CPT-5619
Enhancement	Add descriptions for all permissions Descriptions have been added to all permissions in the system (excluding Tapestry permissions), improving clarity within the roles and permissions management interface.	CPT-5611
Bug	Flow variables in pagination scripts Fixed an issue where flow variables were not accessible within pagination scripts, unblocking use cases that rely on flow variables to calculate pagination parameters.	CPT-5109
Bug	Flow variables and meta variables do not work in endpoint POST scripts Fixed an issue where flow variables and meta variables were not passed through to endpoint POST scripts via the $data array.	CPT-4775
Bug	[Testing] Open Beta Testing Feedback Various issues raised during open beta testing of the new canvas have been addressed.	CPT-5509

Canvas

Type	Summary	Ref #
Enhancement	Phase 2 - Maximised screen Full-screen editing is now supported on the process flow canvas, providing a larger working area when building complex flows.	CPT-5413
Enhancement	Free Canvas - Drag & Drop (Phase 1 & 2) The new canvas now supports full drag-and-drop functionality including moving shapes, drawing connections between shapes, deleting shapes and lines, multi-select, auto-layout (vertical/horizontal), snap to grid, zoom, and copy/paste. Phase 2 adds the ability to drag shapes from the side menu, and a 10-revision draft history with redo/revert.	CPT-4974
Enhancement	Canvas - snap to nearest shape When dragging a connector line towards a target shape, the canvas will now pre-select nearby shapes to snap to, making it easier to build connections accurately.	CPT-5745
Bug	Map Toggles resetting, Email Notifications, Route filters copied between flows Fixed several bugs including map toggles unexpectedly resetting, email notification settings not persisting, and route filters being incorrectly shared between flows.	CPT-5760
Bug	Relax required variables check Fixed an issue in the dev environment where saving a connector with required variables incorrectly raised a validation error that does not occur in production.	CPT-5773
Bug	Investigate issue with deployed flows not displaying correctly Fixed an issue where the list of deployed flows on the virtual environment index page showed more flows than expected, due to flow versions being included in the count. The list now shows a unique set of flows only.	CPT-5770

Connector builder

Type	Summary	Ref #
Enhancement	API Documentation Updates Updated the Core OpenAPI specification to ensure consistency with live endpoints. Addressed discrepancies in field mappings for flow run logs and corrected documentation around optional payload requirements for manual trigger endpoints.	CPT-5751
Enhancement	API available in OpenAPI Spec The Core API is now documented using an OpenAPI specification hosted in Gitbook, with full request and response schemas, examples, and detailed endpoint descriptions.	CPT-4917
Enhancement	API endpoints to edit output file New API endpoints have been added to allow manual triggering of the API documentation generation script and to add or remove endpoints from the documentation output file, without requiring a merge to main.	CPT-5627
Enhancement	Enhance pre-request endpoint scripts to access connector and endpoint variables Pre-request endpoint scripts can now access connector variables, endpoint variables, and optional body and header filters, enabling more dynamic script-based request building.	CPT-4148
Enhancement	Show MCP operations as their own line in the operations tooltip on the insights page MCP operations are now displayed as a distinct line item in the operations tooltip on the company insights page, providing clearer visibility of MCP usage.	CPT-5632
Bug	URL parameters are not sent with authentication requests Fixed an issue where URL parameters were not included when making authentication endpoint requests. Additionally resolved issues with null and empty bracket payloads being sent when the body was set to none or raw with no content.	CPT-4001
Bug	Array Join transform fails with an empty array Fixed an issue where the Array Join transform would fail when passed an empty array. An empty array now correctly returns a blank string.	CPT-4487

Performance & infrastructure

Type	Summary	Ref #
Enhancement	Update Core to Laravel 12 Core has been updated to Laravel 12, including an update to the core-laravel-queue package for compatibility.	CPT-5763
Enhancement	Improve callback queue performance To address intermittent delays in callback flow processing, callback flows now run synchronously until callback shapes have been executed, reducing variability in run times.	CPT-5777
Enhancement	Optimise request/response storage The truncated_request_bodies feature flag has been removed and request/response truncation is now applied by default. Additionally, request/response data is only stored in flow_run_log_metadata for manual flow runs, reducing unnecessary database writes.	CPT-5631
Enhancement	Feature to purge/clear a cross-ref lookup table A Clear button has been added to the cross-reference lookup dashboard, allowing all values in a lookup table to be deleted via a confirmation prompt.	CPT-4242
