With Alumio version 3.91.0-RC1, we’ve added the ability to describe environment variables, improved workflow visualization in the Relations tab, and resolved a task failure caused by key expiration. Stay tuned for more key feature updates we plan to release this month!
Here’s what’s new and improved with Alumio version 3.91.0-RC1:
-
Define your environment variables better:
We’ve added a description field to the environment variables to help add more details to a specific variable.
-
Improved workflow visibility in the Relations tab:
We’ve improved the relations tab UI to visualize workflows better and highlight configuration statuses (enabled/disabled) for easier tracking and clarity.
-
One less Task failure bug:
Fixed an issue where a Task failed due to the key expiration in the storage.
Release dates
- Release candidate 3.91.0-RC1: will be installed in week 28 (sandbox environments)
- Stable release 3.91.0: will be installed in week 30 (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.
