Now my Anvil Editor has as many open tabs as my Browser (One of them being Stackoverflow of course).

Copying and pasting components now maintains the layout if the components are within a container. Copying forms from one app to another is now Super Simple! Thank you.

It wasn’t like that two months ago, when I tediously redefined the layout of a ton of forms and decided to make the DataGridJson custom component!

Not sure how long this has been there, but while working on resolving an unexpected “TimeoutError,” I just now learned of relaxed transactions for the first time.

Don’t know if it’s an Anvil thing or an Anvil Extras thing, but now you have the ability to discretely choose which version of Anvil Extras you want to use as a 3rd-party dependency – all the way from v0.11 to latest production!

The tab icons in the IDE now have colour on them even when they are not selected! Much easier to see what is what. This was something I have been meaning to make a request on but not got around to so Thank you! Small things amuse small minds :slight_smile:

It’s not in the main documentation, so folks are apt to miss it (I did!), but it is in the API documentation here:

I do not ever remember seeing this but there is a new Advanced section in the server docs and you can enforce a user logged in before running server functions.

It’s amazing how quickly some people notice these things. We literally deployed that yesterday, and the newsletter mentioning it is going out today!
