2.6.0 - March 2024

We are thrilled to introduce this March release. You'll enjoy the new additions to enhance your everyday experience with Olympe.

If you wish to get straight into the action, you can jump straight to here. For the changes included in this release, stick around and keep reading.

Major changes

Maintainer Role and Protected Bricks

We are introducing a new role for project's users: the Maintainers. Targeting larger project teams, this new role gives more control on who can perform which changes.

Set the roles of your project's members

Maintainers can be set in the project's Users & Roles tab. They have the capacity to add or remove people from the project and change their roles.

• Admin and Maintainer roles can add or remove people from the project. They can also change the roles of the project's members.
• Developers can only see the list of project's members and their roles.
• Viewers cannot see the list of project's members and their roles.

Brick protection

Maintainers have the capacity to "protect" any brick, folder, visual component, etc... If an element is protected, then all its children elements are protected as well. This allows controlling which team members can make change in more critical parts of a project. A protected brick can only be modified by maintainers. Developers are like viewers: they can still use and see the brick content, but they cannot modify it.

Protected bricks are marked with a shield icon.

Folders can be protected as well. When a folder is protected, all bricks recursively contained in that folder get protected as well. This is a way to protect a whole set of critical items of a project at once.

List Usages enhancements

We heard your (many) feedbacks about the "List Usages" capability of our platform. This release comes with an improved way to display the usages and navigate inside your projects.

New List Usage Popup

• Usages are grouped by project and location
• Filter usages by project
• Search in the usages list (fuzzy search)

List usage from any editor

Now you can quickly list usages of an element you are currently editing with the magnifier icon on the top right of the editor's view

Find more usages than before

• List usages of data types and config data types, data properties and data relations
• List usages of function signatures and abstract visual components
• Correctly find usages of properties and events

New "Listen UI Event" brick and Get/Set UI Property popup improvements

Listen UI Event brick

You can now listen to a UI event from other contexts than the event itself using the "Listen UI Event" and its output Control Flow

And last but not least, the Get/Set UI Property picker has been enhanced with the capacity to automatically create "Feed UI Property" and "Listen UI Event" bricks.
