Changelog

2026.01.8 - Jan 27, 2026

✅ Bug Fixes

• Node / Containers

  • Improved the Node Options border controls so padding and selection styling display consistently.

• Architecture

  • Unsyncing an architecture now keeps your work intact by duplicating the diagram instead of reusing the shared one.

2026.01.7 - Jan 22, 2026

✅ Bug Fixes

• Settings

  • Fixed Project Settings loading issues for organizations with many projects by fetching only the needed project instead of an incomplete list.

• Node Right-Click Menu

  • Updated node menu labels and icons to make common actions clearer (e.g., omitting/adding nodes to code).

• Module Import - Git credentials

  • Improved module import credential handling so Git service and credentials are selected and saved more reliably.

• RBAC/Permissions

  • Clarified project creation permissions so roles display and behave more accurately in settings.

• Infrastructure as Code

  • Improved the Terraform file selector in the right pane so long file names are easier to pick and review.

2026.01.6 - Jan 20, 2026

🎉 Features and Improvements

• Cloud providers Credentials (Azure)

  • Improved the Azure “Renew certificate” flow with clearer guidance, copy-to-clipboard for the App ID, and safer validation after download.

• Topbar

  • Updated the topbar experience and removed the “new topbar” feature flag so everyone gets the same improved navigation.

✅ Bug Fixes

• Workflow

  • Fixed an issue that could cause errors when opening a workflow that doesn’t exist or isn’t accessible.

• CI/CD

  • Enhanced drift checks to support Terraform variable files and better control of the IaC runtime used during scans.

• Resource Configurator (Listing)

  • Fixed resource cards showing incorrect “[object Object]” values by improving how complex values are displayed.

• Code edition

  • Fixed invalid parsing/generated code for certain arrays so Terraform plans no longer fail due to missing separators.

2026.01.5 - Jan 14, 2026

🎉 Features and Improvements

• Project selector / Architecture selector

  • Added “Expand all / Collapse all” controls and shift-click shortcuts to quickly expand or collapse project and environment trees.

• General

  • Reduced the Brainboard web app download size to speed up loading, especially on slower networks.

  • Improved how the app detects and applies new versions so updates are more reliable.

✅ Bug Fixes

• Design area / diagram

  • Fixed the multi-selection node menu so “Edit TF filename” is available when multiple nodes are selected.

• State management

  • Fixed Terraform/OpenTofu state imports in pipelines when variable values are provided via a .tfvars file.

---

2026.01.4 - Jan 13, 2026

🎉 Features and Improvements

• Import from files

  • Added clearer guidance and validation so you’re prompted to upload .tf files before generating a diagram.

• New organization

  • All new organizations have OpenTofu as default binary execution

✅ Bug Fixes

• Design area

  • Fixed missing node borders while dragging and dropping nodes in the design area.

  • Fixed the node context menu not opening reliably in the design area.

  • Improved timeout and error messaging so large-diagram actions fail more clearly and provide more actionable feedback.

---

2026.01.2 - Jan 12, 2026

🎉 Features and Improvements

• Architecture selector

  • Projects and environments in the architecture selector now stay collapsed until you expand them, making navigation clearer and less cluttered.

  • The currently selected architecture is now highlighted more consistently in the selector.

• Design area / diagram

  • Resource cards now use a virtualized list for smoother scrolling and better performance on large architectures.

• Git credentials

  • Bitbucket connections now use an API token instead of a password for a more secure and modern authentication flow.

• Module

  • The Modules Catalog and module import experience have been refreshed for a more consistent UI and smoother workflows (including custom icons and improved dialogs).

✅ Bug Fixes

• Infrastructure Management

  • Cloud configuration inheritance is now skipped safely when a referenced child node is missing, preventing errors in edge-case diagrams.

• CI/CD Plugins

  • The Checkov plugin now supports passing a repository identifier, improving scan context for teams running checks across multiple repos.

2026.01.01 - Jan 08, 2026

🎉 Features and Improvements

• Design area / diagram

  • Introduced a unified, declarative node and resource menu with a global context menu, making right‑click actions consistent and easier to extend across the design area.

• Node / Containers

  • Updated node selection so clicking a node always selects it and opens the right configuration panel when appropriate, avoiding confusing partial selections.

  • Improved multi‑node alignment tools to work reliably on large selections, keeping nodes neatly aligned without layout jumps.

• Identity Card / Resource Configurator

  • Enhanced resource summaries with syntax‑highlighted tooltips for multiline or advanced values, helping users understand complex attributes without opening full editors.

• Architecture

  • Ensured architectures always keep an accurate cloud provider icon when diagrams change or are cloned, improving filtering, reporting, and provider‑specific behaviors.

• New architecture / Import from files / Restore

  • Replaced legacy file uploaders with a unified drag‑and‑drop component across variable imports, local file imports, and architecture restore, giving a consistent and more robust upload experience.

  • Relaxed overly strict invalid‑file handling so users can proceed as long as at least one valid file is present, reducing friction when importing from mixed folders.

• Cloud provider credentials

  • Added the ability to regenerate and download new Azure client certificates directly from the connections page, simplifying certificate rotation.

✅ Bug Fixes

• Design area / diagram

  • Fixed a regression where the design area could feel sluggish when moving many nodes or connectors, especially in large architectures.

  • Corrected invisible hit‑areas on certain nodes so selection and dragging work reliably even when nodes have very thin strokes.

  • Resolved an issue where highlighted nodes and connectors were not always cleared correctly when closing the configurator, preventing “ghost” highlights.

• Connectors

  • Fixed connector label and endpoint moves that sometimes produced duplicate or invalid points, which could cause jagged or broken connector paths.

  • Corrected hover detection around nodes when dragging connector endpoints, so nearby nodes are highlighted accurately without false positives.

  • Ensured Terraform‑linked connectors update or detach their references correctly when endpoints move between resources, avoiding stale or broken references.

• Node / Containers

  • Fixed node option bar behavior so it no longer depends on the identity card state, ensuring options appear correctly whenever nodes are selected.

  • Addressed a bug where container toggling and icon‑only modes could leave nodes in inconsistent visual states.

• Identity Card / Resource Configurator

  • Fixed a focus issue in availability zone fields so the cursor reliably moves into the correct input after switching modes, speeding up form editing.

  • Resolved missing or stale form data when switching between resources in the configurator by resetting and unregistering fields correctly.

  • Corrected collapsible section defaults and persistence per resource type, so sections open and close predictably across sessions.

  • Removed unnecessary re‑renders in the configurator that could cause flickering or slowdowns when editing complex resources.

• Onboarding

  • Fixed a flickering issue in the onboarding form
