After an year of development and 22 beta releases and 7 Release Candidates, now here is App Connect 2 final!
App Connect 2 is blazingly fast thanks to the usage of the new Signals technology. So you Web sites and mobile apps will be faster and more reliable than ever before.
With rock solid stability and performance, App Connect 2 is now the default App Connect version in Wappler.
We thank you all for your great feedback and bug reports that helped us to make App Connect 2 the best App Connect version ever!
All App Connect 2 extensions are now final and fully available in the Stable Channel.
There is an App Connect 1 (Deprecated) Channel, for backwards compatibility, but we strongly recommend that you use App Connect 2 for all your projects, as App Connect 1 is now deprecated and won’t receive any updates any more. See Using Wappler Extensions Channels
Futhermore with have greatly updated our NodeJS Server Connect to use the latest NodeJS security features but this also means that NodeJS 16 is now the minimal required version for Wappler. So make sure to update your NodeJS to the latest version.
Also the default MySQL driver for NodeJS is now the much faster mysql2 driver. So all new database connections in Wappler and NodeJS are now using the mysql2 driver for much faster performance.
Also our Bootstrap 5 support has been updated to the latest version 5.3.3 with all component and themes updated to the latest version.
The Bootswatch themes are also updated to the latest version 5.3.3.
