While we’ve been occupied in making Alumio Overdrive into the success it turned out to be, where we previewed our biggest upcoming features, we’ve managed to introduce a few crucial usability improvements with Alumio version 3.101.0-RC1. Stay tuned for more upcoming product updates as we prepare to take how Alumio makes integrations simple to the next level!
Here’s what’s new and improved with Alumio version 3.101.0-RC1:
Clearer configuration screens
We’ve added inline documentation to Incoming and Outgoing configurations, and fields have been reorganized into tabs for better structure and readability. Now, it’s
easier to find the settings you need without scrolling through long forms.
Smarter handling of disabled routes in Scheduler
Fixed a bug where disabling a configuration in the Scheduler caused subsequent jobs to fail. The Scheduler now correctly skips only the disabled route, keeping the rest of the batch running smoothly.
Release dates
- Release candidate 3.101.0-RC1 will be installed in week 48 (sandbox environments)
- Stable release 3.101.0 will be installed in week 50 (production environments)
- Important: these dates apply only to environments configured with the ‘Latest’ update cycle.
Update cycles
Alumio offers two update cycles to choose from. By default, your environment is set to the “Latest” update cycle.
Latest
With the “Latest” update cycle, your environment will always receive the most recent version of Alumio. Updates are first deployed to sandbox environments. Two weeks later, the same version is released to production environments. Every 2 weeks a new version of Alumio is released.
Long-Term Support (LTS)
The LTS version is released quarterly and is based on a thoroughly tested Alumio release that is a few versions behind the latest version, providing extra stability and security. However, selecting this option also means you won’t have access to any newly released Alumio features for a period of three months.
Sandbox environments (such as UAT) receive the LTS version one month before the start of the new quarter (i.e. June), specifically on the first Monday of that month.
The LTS version is deployed to production environments on the first Monday of each new quarter (i.e. July). This provides a full month for testing prior to deploying the new LTS version to production.
You can switch your update cycle through the Alumio interface
- Log in to your Alumio environment.
- Navigate to System > Settings.
- Modify the Update Cycle setting and click Apply to save your changes.
