2021.3

Corteza 2021.3 improves the stability and security of the system; and a lot of new features including a visual automation builder (Corteza Workflow), support template management and rendering. Corteza also introduces an authentication server that conforms to the OAuth2 protocol, which increases security and increases flexibility when it comes to authentication options.

  • Authentication changed to the OAuth2 standard, and any authentication logic relying on the previous versions will no longer work.

  • The Corredor server is now disabled by default. Set the CORREDOR_ENABLED=true in your .env file if you wish to have it enabled.

  • Corteza Messaging is now deprecated and removed.
