June 2025 release

LUY 8.1.3

June 2025

This release focuses on subtle yet impactful improvements to LUY Nova and LUY’s PluginAPI. We've addressed bugs and enhanced user experience with smarter default views and more consistent UI behavior.

Now, let's dive into what’s new in this release:

1. Improvements

LUY Nova:

Improved sizing for “read more” info box in description cells. Users will now experience a consistent and predictable size when opening longer descriptions via the “read more” feature in table cells. The info box now has a fixed width, improving readability.
Compact rows activated by default for new users. To help users see more information at a glance, the compact row view is now enabled by default for all first-time users of LUY Nova. Existing users are not affected, and already set preferences remain untouched.

LUY Classic:

Case-insensitive lookup now supported in PluginAPI. We’ve improved the behavior of api.datamodel.findByTypeAndName to add an option to search for names case sensitive. Admins setting up the PluginAPI can now use a new ignoreCase option.
Previously, the method returned no result if the exact case did not match, e.g. searching for “JIRA" did not find an element named “Jira". This behavior was unintuitive and inconsistent for users configuring PluginAPI-based logic.
Now, by explicitly setting the ignoreCase flag to true, you can search in a more user-friendly and predictable way:
JS
```
api.datamodel.findByTypeAndName('InformationSystem', 'CAMTASIA', { ignoreCase: true })
```

Without the ignoreCase flag the method remains case-sensitive to preserve backward compatibility.

2. Bug fixes

LUY Nova:

SEV: Fixed an issue where mandatory placeholders disappeared after saving entries in the plain text editor.

LUY Classic:

PluginAPI: Resolved an issue preventing api.metamodel calls from functioning in reaction scripts. Scripts using meta-model methods now work reliably without needing a manual workaround.

3. Limitations

LUY Nova mainly introduces read only features and some basic edit possibilities. These features will be expanded on in the upcoming releases.
There are certain areas that are not yet accessible in LUY Nova, such as some diagrams, the dashboard, some administration and integration settings. For now, you’ll need to use LUY Classic to use those. Our release notes will, of course, feature any new addition to LUY Nova in the future.
