2021.9
With Corteza 2021.9
, we continue to improve accessibility by introducing internationalization for the user interface as well as user-defined configurations.
In addition, we’ve improved the overall design and user experience, improved the authentication and access control facilities, expanded on the existing feature set, and introduced a few new additions.
Internationalization
With internationalization, we add support for the translation of user interfaces, as well as locale specific date-time and number formatting. Corteza allows you to modify the built-in translations entirely as well as define translations for additional languages you might need or any custom web application modifications you might have performed. You can also translate most of the user-provided configurations (such as namespaces and module fields), allowing you to configure your Low Code applications to be accessible.
To enable translations for custom configuration, you will need to set the |
UI/UX
Building on the 2021.3
release, we continue to improve the user interface design as well as the overall experience when interacting with Corteza web applications.
Most notably, we’ve reworked page navigation, improved consistency between different web applications, and added a more granular record list filter.
Access control
The access control facility received an upgrade, providing more fine-grained control over the access to your data, such as specific records or modules of particular namespaces. Contextual roles allow you to determine role membership and thus access to resources based on the state the system is in (such as what record we are editing).
With contextual roles, you can cover cases where a user is only allowed to access or manage data created or owned by them. |
Authentication and security
The authentication flow is now more flexible by introducing support for SAML and split credential flow. Further improvements to the authentication token generator and handler help increase the stability and security of the system.
Integration gateway
Responding to the needs of defining custom API endpoints, we’ve expanded the sink route facility and introduced the Integration gateway. The improved facility simplifies the process of defining and managing custom API endpoints and defining processing for HTTP requests either via the built-in functions, workflows, or custom code.
The legacy sink route facility is still present and works as it did before, but we aim to replace the sink routes. |
Reporter
The reporter provides a dedicated facility to define and view reports based on the data your Corteza Low Code defines.
Corteza 2021.9 reworks the internals of our RBAC facility. From the access evaluation flow, to how rules are encoded. When upgrading to
2021.9 :

2021.9.12
Released on: 2022-06-15
-
Fixed improper credential validation on user registration causing the user to be created even when invalid credentials (mainly the password) was provided. The fix moves the password validation step to the earlier stage of the sign up flow (
#ff13912
). -
Fixed improper record count for grouped reports where multi-value fields are involved. The fix, for some cases, omits duplicate values (
7546dbb
