Release Notes - **Release date: June 30th, 2021** ### Improvements * The date range search field of a data grid now allows the upper and lower bounds to be inclusive. (Ticket 119173) * We improved how the native [drop-down](https://docs.mendix.com/refguide8/drop-down) widget renders menu items on larger devices. (Ticket 122196) * We improved the startup of the runtime by not registering handlers for REST, OData, and web services when the model does not contain any REST, OData, or web services, respectively. This has several advantages: it makes your app start up slightly faster, there are fewer log messages at startup, and it follows the security best practice of endpoint hardening. * We now log the addition of request handlers and WebSocket endpoints. * We improved the performance of the **Build deployment structure** step when building your app. The time needed for **Exporting pages** decreased up to 60%, and **Exporting metadata** decreased up to 90%. ### Fixes * We fixed an issue where extracting a microflow as a sub-microflow with a loop that had multiple parameters did not set the parameters correctly on the extracted sub-microflow. (Tickets 97103, 110679) * We fixed an issue where extra newlines were added to the end of an expression when typing in the expression editor. (Tickets 101033, 103209, 105990, 107049, 107239, 114492, 115807, 115894, 116692, 116963, 118606, 119602, 122468) * We fixed an issue where temporary files and folders (like **GPUCache**) were created in the app directory, which led to unnecessary merge conflicts. (Tickets 105909, 106329, 107857) * We fixed an error that occurred when a conditional editability expression referenced a non-existent attribute when the widget was non-editable due to its parent container (for example, a list view or data view). (Ticket 121857) * We fixed an issue that occurred when multiple rows were selected in the **Changes** pane and copied to the Windows clipboard via Ctrl + C, but only some of the rows were copied multiple times. (Ticket 123191) * We upgraded the SQL Server JDBC driver authentication DLL files to 9.2.1. (Ticket 124044) * We fixed an issue where MxAssist Logic Bot sent a common flow type to the server to make a suggestion instead of the exact type. * We fixed a crash that occurred when conflicts after an [update or merge](https://docs.mendix.com/refguide8/using-version-control-in-studio-pro) were only present on the files in the app folder and not on the app itself. ### Deprecations * We dropped support for the following database versions that are no longer supported by vendors: * Oracle 18 * SQL Server 2016 ### Known Issues * When you update a [consumed OData service](https://docs.mendix.com/refguide8/consumed-odata-service) with a new version from [Mendix Data Hub](https://docs.mendix.com/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.
