What's New

Introducing the new Problems Panel in Wappler 7.7.4, a major improvement to your issue navigation and validation feedback experience! With smarter issue targeting, clearer messages, and better organization, the new Problems Panel helps you find and fix issues in your projects faster than ever before.

Experimental totally redesigned Git Manager panel, giving you more git power for basic and advanced users, with a much faster and more reliable experience, using the power of git command line under the hood. It is available as experimental option for now, but will be the default in the next major release, giving you a simple and clear interface for your git operations, with a great new graph rendering and commit list, and even AI generated commit messages for your changes.

AI Manager is also greatly improved with more knowledge about App Connect Flows and how to use them, as well keeping Bootstrap 5 styles in mind when generating code, and many other improvements in the knowledge and the experience.

Furthermore we are also introducing new beta support for ASP.NET with the new experimental routing, so you can now create ASP.NET projects with Wappler and use all the latest ASP.NET features, including layout pages, content pages, server side data bindings and more. You can even convert your old Classic ASP or ASP.NET projects to the new ASP.NET with our project converter.
It comes with build in IIS Express support for local development, so you can run and test your ASP.NET projects directly on your machine.

We have also update our FTP client for Windows to the latest version 4.9.3, and our git client to 2.53.0, so you have the latest features and fixes in those as well.

New Problems Panel: smarter issue navigation and clearer, user-friendly validation feedback

  • Introduces a greatly improved Problems panel experience focused on faster troubleshooting in Wappler projects.

  • Clicking an issue now opens the correct editor automatically (Server Actions or Pages) and jumps directly to the relevant item.

  • Page issues now select the exact element in the editor, so users can fix problems immediately without manual searching.

  • Improves readability of issues with clearer labels, color-highlighted names, and cleaner messages.

  • Removes technical/internal noise from copied issue details, making shared reports easier to understand.

  • Adds collapsible top-level groups for:

    • Server Connect Actions
    • Pages

  • Shows warning/error totals per group and per file, helping users prioritize what to fix first.

  • Improves reliability of issue targeting for dynamic page formats (including EJS/content pages), resulting in more accurate navigation and fewer dead clicks.

  • Overall result: a much smoother “find issue → open location → fix” workflow for Wappler users.

  • Opens the correct editor automatically when you click an issue (Server Connect action or Page), then jumps to the exact related item.

  • Stays in sync with your current tab: the active file’s issues are auto-expanded, selected, and scrolled into view.

  • Keeps the rest of your project issues visible but collapsed, so you stay focused without losing context.

  • Updates instantly as you save files with smart hot reloading of problems, so feedback feels live while you work.

  • Runs checks in the background, keeping Wappler responsive and avoiding interruptions during editing.

  • Organizes issues in clearer groups with Pages first, then Server Connect Actions.

  • Improves tree interaction: clicking folders/file nodes expands them directly, making navigation faster.

  • Added severity toggles for Errors, Warnings, and Recommendations.

  • Recommendations are hidden by default to reduce noise and keep focus on actionable issues.

  • Added live filtering so users can quickly narrow down issues by text.

  • Added quick actions for Expand All, Collapse All, Rescan, and Copy Report.

  • Improved scan feedback by showing a spinner while keeping the Problems label stable.

  • Added Recommendations as a new non-blocking guidance level in the Problems system.

  • Recommendations surface best-practice tips for accessibility, quality, and performance.

  • Added checks for common gaps such as image alt text, safer external links, explicit button type, image sizing hints, and lazy-loading opportunities.

  • Added script-loading recommendations with practical exclusions for core startup scripts to avoid false positives.

  • Improved problems tree expanding and collapsing behavior for better navigation and focus.
