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 LOCALE_RESOURCE_TRANSLATIONS_ENABLED=true .env variable.

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.

Table 1. Important upgrade notes:

Access control

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:
  • Corteza will automatically scan all existing RBAC rules, remove any obsolete rules like messaging, sanitize existing (federation module renaming) and properly change change resource IDs.

  • Corteza will automatically upgrade, add, remove, and rename roles as needed based on the reworked system:

    • authenticated, anonymous, super admin roles are added,

    • everyone role is removed

    • all RBAC rules owned by the now deprecated everyone role are migrated to the role authenticated

    • static role IDs (1 for everyone and 2 for admin) are replaced by sequential IDs. All memberships and RBAC rules are transferred to the updated role IDs.

  • Corteza will automatically add the following system users:

    • Corteza Provisioner (provision@corteza.local, corteza-provisioner); member of super admin account, used for all provisioning actions.

    • Corteza Service Account (service@corteza.local, corteza-service); member of super admin account, used for all service activities, CLI interface.

    • Corteza Federation (federation@corteza.local, corteza-federation); member of super admin account, used for all federation activities.

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).

2021.9.11

Released on: 2022-05-31

  • Fixed improper PostgreSQL formatting for ISO timestamp templates by adding an edge-case exception (#034a7f9).

  • Fixed improper number and text setting value decoding by covering edge-cases (#ced2daf).

  • Fixed improper module field resource translation encoding, decoding, and store persistance causing the field description and hint field to get mixed up by fixing invalid value mapping and removing translations from the DB (#0422e5f, #e7ea299, #6c2dd28).

  • Fixed improper workflow prompt handling when user has multiple Corteza instances (tabs) open at the same time. Corteza web applications improved communication on what prompts are already resolved and where the prompts should be shown (#ef238df).

  • Fixed broken module field value expressions where the old record reference was used. The issue occurred because the value was never provided (#993cd22).

2021.9.10

Released on: 2022-04-20
