After our recent major feature updates, including our new visual Route Builder, Alumio version 3.111.0-RC1 is a lighter release focused on small but meaningful improvements. This includes localizable date formats, cleaner dropdown behavior, and a fix for an edge case with expired Spaces.
What’s new and improved with Alumio version 3.111.0-RC1
Customize how dates and times are displayed
You can now localize date and time formats in Alumio based on your preference. Set your preferred format in your user preferences, and it will be reflected across the dashboard.
Alphabetically sorted labels in dropdowns
Labels in dropdown menus are now sorted alphabetically, making them easier to scan and select -especially when working with longer lists.
Accurate handling of expired Spaces
Resolved an issue where expired Spaces were not being updated correctly, ensuring their status is now reflected as expected.
Release dates
- Release candidate 3.111.0-RC1: will be installed in week 16 (sandbox environments)
- Stable release 3.111.0: will be installed in week 18 (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.
