Server

AYON 1.15.7 ๐Ÿงน Big Spring Clean

This update brings some great new features, lots of quality of life enhancements and tons of (28) fixes. Here is everything we did from 1.15.2-1.15.7.

๐ŸŽ๏ธ Huge Performance Improvements

As everyoneโ€™s projects get bigger with more data published we found some bottlenecks that were slowing some things down. This was especially obvious when dealing with real production with almost a MILLION versions ๐Ÿคฏ

There have been lots of optimisations to make the server significantly faster and more efficient. This should make everyday use of AYON faster and smoother for everyone.

๐Ÿ’ฌ Table Latest Comments

You can now see the 5 latest comments on an entity directly in the table. This makes sifting through large amounts of comments a lot faster, without ever having to open the details panel.

Entity table displaying inline comment previews within a dedicated comments column. Multiple recent comments are visible directly in the table row, including review feedback, approvals, mentions, and client notes, allowing users to browse the latest activity without opening the details panel.

๐Ÿ‘๏ธ Activity Feed Filter

The activity feed now has an advanced filter bar so you can find exactly the comment you were looking for faster. Search for text in a comment or filter by exact matches like authors, checklists or date published.

The Search Filter bar has also got a refreshed design to make searching more initiative.

Activity feed advanced filter bar with token-based search filters for author, comment text, and content type. Expanded filter menu provides additional criteria including versions, updates, checklists, attachments, categories, and posted date, enabling precise filtering and discovery of activity feed entries.

๐Ÿ“š Long Rich Text Attributes

You can now choose if your text attributes use short or long text formats. This lets you write rich and long text for those notes that need more detail.

You can now set a Project Thumbnail directly within the project dashboard. This brings a more polished, visual look to the server dashboard.

๐Ÿ› ๏ธ Enhanced Details Panel

Weโ€™ve introduced a new "More" dropdown menu that centralizes key actions across the entire server UI.

The menu contains contextual action items including Open in viewer, Picture in picture, Add to list, Copy link, and View data, located adjacent to the entity path, notification bell, status badge, and action icons.
