8.17

8.17.1

Release date: January 21st, 2021

Fixes

• We fixed an issue where calling a microflow from an offline-first application triggered an unnecessary reload of data sources on opened pages. (Ticket 114660)

8.17.0

Release date: December 17th, 2020

Improvements

• You can now use external entities in a startup microflow.
• For consumed OData services, we have optimized the retrieval of external entities so that only the attributes that are used are retrieved from the service.
• Published OData services and published REST services now send a realm in their basic authentication challenge. This is not required, but it used to be, and we want to be as compliant as possible.
• The Delete object(s) microflow activity is now included in Find usages results.

Fixes

• We applied an important security patch that fixed the SSA-875726 Privilege Escalation Vulnerability for authenticated users. We strongly advise upgrading your Mendix applications to this version or to 8.18, where the issue has been fixed.
• We fixed an issue where generating a get-by-key REST operation for a file-document entity caused an error. (Ticket 109637)
• We fixed an issue where using nested data views with non-persistable entities resulted in an error in the client. (Ticket 110682)
• We fixed an issue that caused Close page activities to stop working after upgrading to 8.16 or below. (Ticket 111576)
• We fixed an issue that result in a StackOverflowError during synchronization.

Known Issues

• When you update a consumed OData service with a new version from Mendix Data Hub but close the document without saving, the blue arrow icon will no longer be shown to notify you about the available update for that service.
  • Workaround: Closing your app and opening it again fixes this issue.
