Xano R1.56 Release Announcement

Hello, Xano community! We're thrilled to announce Release 1.56, packed with exciting new features and enhancements designed to streamline your development process and provide even more flexibility and control. Let's dive into what this new release offers:

1. Revamped Debugger:

• The Xano debugger has been completely revamped, embracing the no-code approach. Now, you can:
• Step through each line of execution in your function stack.
• Jump to specific points to better understand the flow of your API.
• Add breakpoints to pause execution and examine the state at critical moments.
• Utilize custom JavaScript statements for advanced monitoring and troubleshooting.

This enhanced debugger brings a more intuitive debugging experience, making it easier for you to identify and resolve issues.

1. Native UUID Support:

• Responding to popular demand, we now offer native support for universally unique identifiers (UUIDs). This update allows you to replace the standard sequential integer ID with a randomly generated UUID, providing greater security and flexibility in your database design.

1. Ask a iBot Integration:

• We've brought our helpful Ask a iBot directly into Xano. Have a question while building your project? Just consult the bot within the platform, and it'll sift through our resources to provide the answers, even citing sources for direct access to detailed information.

1. API Groups and APIs Enable/Disable Support:

• Gain more control over your API access with the new enable/disable support for API groups and individual endpoints. This feature allows you to quickly cut off or restore access without removing any data or configurations, simplifying management and enhancing security.

1. Native ZIP File Functions:

• Say goodbye to third-party services for handling ZIP files within your function stacks. With native ZIP file support, Xano now allows you to:
• Create and extract ZIP files directly within your function stacks.
• Add and remove files from ZIP archives as needed.
• Support for password-protected ZIP files, enhancing security and privacy.

This addition makes managing ZIP files in your projects more seamless and integrated.
