This release includes the new features released with Frends 5.6, listed in New Features.

UI

Improvements

  • The management UI has been rebuilt to provide a more modern and usable user experience. The different pages of the UI have a more uniform way of functioning, making it easier for new users to jump in.

  • Dark mode

  • Process auto-recovery functionality to allow continuing development if the browser crashes

  • A new Welcome page for new Frends deployments to help new users to start using the product with links to documentation and interactive product tours

  • From now on it is only possible to create Group Environment Variables on the Root level, i.e. new text, number, secret type Environment Variables can only be created inside of Groups. This was done to guide towards more cleaner maintainable Environment Variable structures

  • Monitoring rules can now be deployed/copied to new Environments as inactive

  • Process editor now has a buttons to center back to BPMN graph and see keyboard shortcuts

  • It is now possible to use expressions for Shared state Time-To-Live

  • Ctrl+S now does a 'Save as draft' in the Process Editor

  • New Agent groups will be Cross-platform by default

  • It is now possible to specify variables to be disposed at the end of a scope

  • When importing a Process that has an API Trigger, it is now automatically linked to an existing API Specification that matches it

  • It is now possible to disable Caller cancellation, i.e. this will allow a Process to finish even if the HTTP request which started the Process is cancelled

  • It is now possible to enforce mandatory Process change descriptions

Bug fixes

  • Fixed Process instance being reported for the wrong time when the Process started and ended on different dates

  • Fixed failing validation when switching Process' target framework to .NET 6 from .NET Standard

  • Process diff view now correctly highlights array parameter changes

Agent

Improvements

  • The Agent will execute Remote Subprocesses through the local interface instead of going through the Remote Subprocess pipeline when the target Agent group is the one executing the parent Process

Bug fixes

  • Agents now report a failed Process instance execution if they cannot execute a Manual Trigger due to a missing Environment Variable
