Serverless Workflow 1.0.0-alpha3
We’re excited to announce the release of v1.0.0-alpha3 for the Serverless Workflow project! This release includes several impactful improvements and bug fixes, making the platform more stable and feature-rich. Below are the most notable issues we’ve resolved in this version:
#907: Improved handling of export expressions in workflow schemas, ensuring smoother transitions and reliable exports of specific expressions and data during workflow execution. This enhancement enhances the overall flow and usability.
#908: Enhanced clarity in referencing authentication policies within workflows. This improvement simplifies the management of secure service calls by allowing clearer references and reuse of authentication policies across different states.
#938: Introduced support for expressions in formatted strings, enabling users to dynamically insert expressions into string literals. This feature enhances flexibility in defining dynamic values, allowing workflows to adapt based on runtime data.
#953: Resolved issues with the definition of task and workflow properties, allowing for more specific attributes that improve clarity and usability. This refinement leads to better-defined workflows and easier implementation.
#956: Added support for query parameters in HTTP task definitions, enabling users to specify parameters directly within their HTTP tasks. This enhancement improves usability and flexibility in constructing rich API requests.
#960: Introduced the capability to add arguments to script processes, allowing users to pass specific arguments during script execution. This flexibility enables workflows to adapt dynamically to varying conditions.
#963: Addressed semantic inconsistencies between listen and emit tasks, clarifying their definitions and expected behaviors. This standardization facilitates clearer logic and better integration within event-driven workflows.
#973: Refactored OAuth2 authentication and introduced OIDC authentication support, broadening the range of authentication strategies available. This improvement enhances security and usability when integrating with various identity providers.
#995: A new property has been added to determine whether to await the execution of a process, allowing for precise control over workflow execution flow. This flexibility helps in accommodating various execution scenarios effectively.
#996: Introduced support for adding metadata to workflow documents and tasks, allowing users to embed additional contextual information. This enhancement improves documentation and discoverability, facilitating better integration with external systems.
We believe these changes will make Serverless Workflow even more powerful and flexible for developers. Check out the release notes for the full list of updates. As always, we’re grateful for the continued support from our community and welcome feedback on this release!
