Mendix Cloud Release Notes

Last modified: June 24, 2026

These release notes cover changes to deployment to Mendix Cloud. There are separate release notes for other deployment targets; for more information, refer to the Deployment release notes.

Mendix Cloud deployments are also dependent on the latest version of the Mendix Cloud Foundry Buildpack. The Mendix Cloud Foundry Buildpack release notes are published separately, as other deployment targets are also dependent on the buildpack.

For information on the current status of deployment to Mendix Cloud and any planned releases, refer to Mendix Status.

June 2026

June 25, 2026

New Features

  • Mendix Cloud APIs now support Model Context Protocol (MCP). AI coding assistants such as Claude Code and VS Code with GitHub Copilot can connect to your Mendix Cloud environments and manage deployments, environments, backups, and the app lifecycle through natural language. For more information, refer to Using Mendix Deploy APIs with AI Agents (MCP).

New Features

  • You can now view and take action on policy violations, which are automatically detected and reported in Software Composition. Policies are defined in Control Center, allowing you to check for conditions like finding severity, Mendix runtime version, and Marketplace component licenses and support types. For details, refer to Policies, Policy Status, and Software Composition.

June 17, 2026

New Features

  • Software Composition is now enhanced with the ability to view details on components marked as Vulnerable. This provides valuable information about the severity and CVSS score of the finding.

Fixes

  • We have fixed an SBOM generation issue which sometimes caused incorrect versions. As such, Mendix now supports SBOM generation and the associated Software Composition capabilities with the following versions of Studio Pro:

    • 11.9.1 and above
    • 11.6.6
    • 10.24.18 and above
    • 9.24.43 and above

June 11, 2026

New Features

  • We introduced OpenTelemetry integration, which lets you send traces, metrics, and logs to any OpenTelemetry-compatible observability backend that supports the core exporters OTLP and PROMETHEUS_REMOTE_WRITE.

June 9, 2026

Improvements

  • Mendix Cloud database backups are now created with pg_dump version 1.16. This version has been included with PostgreSQL since September 2024 as part of PostgreSQL 17. As a result, backups created in Mendix Cloud can only be restored with pg_restore version 1.16 or above (PostgreSQL 17 or above).

    If you attempt to restore a backup using an earlier version, you will receive the following error: pg_restore: [archiver] unsupported version (1.16) in the file header. To resolve this issue, upgrade your software to a version that includes newer versions of pg_dump and pg_restore.

    Backups created in Mendix Cloud before June 9, 2026, continue to work as expected after you upgrade your local PostgreSQL binaries to newer versions.
