To quickly follow up on our first release of updates for the year, Alumio version 3.105.0-RC1 focuses on making workflows more resilient, validation more explicit, and the UI more responsive. This release adds better control over how failures are handled in Routes, improves input validation and mapper clarity, and smooths out a performance issue that could make the Queue feel slower than it actually was. Small changes, but ones that make day-to-day integration work noticeably calmer.
Here’s what’s new and improved with Alumio version 3.105.0-RC1:
Resolve failed tasks without stopping the Route
We’ve introduced a new “Resolved” task status for workflows. Now instead of halting an entire Route when a task fails, you can simply mark it with a configurable status and let the workflow continue. This gives you more flexibility in how errors are handled and recovered from.
Clear input validation for mappers and conditions
We now support input validation for mappers, conditions, and operators, providing clear error messages to ensure the correct values are used. This makes misconfigurations easier to spot early and reduces trial-and-error during setup.
Clearer comparison mappers and documentation
We’ve renamed comparison mappers to Equals (Strict) and Equals (Loose) and updated the documentation popup to ensure a proper overview.
Faster, more responsive Queue table
Resolved a performance issue in the Queue table where the table appeared to load for several seconds despite the API responding quickly, preventing page unresponsiveness. The page now renders promptly, enabling a more seamless UI experience.
Release dates
- Release candidate 3.105.0-RC1: will be installed in week 04 (sandbox environments)
- Stable release 3.105.0: will be installed in week 06 (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.
