Release r202608

What's new​

This release contains the following new features and improvements:

Script mode for Proxy account types​

To allow more control over what can and, more importantly, what cannot be executed on the automator Proxy, we have added a new script mode to proxy account types. Script mode limits execution to a pre-defined set of scripts with named parameters that are configured on the proxy side.

To use script mode, set the proxy mode to "Script execution" in the account settings. You can then use it with executeOnProxy as follows:

const result = executeOnProxy("my-proxy-account", {
  script: "deploy",
  parameters: { environment: "production", version: "1.2.3" },
})
info

Using script mode requires the automator Proxy to be upgraded to a version that supports it. Please register a request with us so that we can provide you with the instructions for and / or assist you with the upgrade.

Structured HTTP headers field​

The HTTP headers field on the account form has been replaced with a structured name/value pair editor. You can now add and remove headers individually instead of editing a free-text field. Existing header values are automatically migrated.

New String and Set functions​

We have added support for the following methods:

  • String.at()
  • Set.keys()
// String.at() - access characters by index, including negative indices
let str = "automator"
str.at(0)   // "a"
str.at(-1)  // "r"

// Set.keys() - returns the keys of a Set
let s = new Set(["a", "b", "c"])
let keys = s.keys()
// keys = ["a", "b", "c"]

Learn more at the MDN String.at() reference and the MDN Set.keys() reference.

Retrieve audit details for a specific change​

The mergeAudit function now accepts an optional audit_line_id parameter. This allows you to retrieve the audit details for a specific change, rather than only the most recent one.

let auditLineId = 456
mergeAudit(request, auditLineId)
// request.audit_old_status     = "assigned"
// request.audit_new_status     = "in_progress"

Auto-update callers when renaming library functions​

As a follow-up to the Navigate between packages and libraries feature from the previous release: when you rename a function in a library, all packages that reference that library are now automatically updated to use the new function name.

Workflow webhook events​

The following webhook events are now available for use in webhook-triggered packages:

  • workflow.create
  • workflow.manager-changed
  • workflow.note-added
  • workflow.status-changed
  • workflow.update
  • request.agile-board-column-changed

Important updates​

Package execution log size limit​

A maximum size limit has been introduced for individual log lines produced during package execution. Log entries exceeding 128 KB will be truncated.
