Release 1.64 (Jan 15, 2025)

• Free External Database Connectors: Database connectors are now available on all plans, including free tier. Connect to PostgreSQL, MySQL, Microsoft SQL Server, and Oracle databases at no additional cost.

• Run or Debug: Choose how you want to test your function stack - the interface will remember your last selected mode.

• Enhanced Error Stacktrace: Navigate through detailed error stacktraces showing all calls leading to the error. Click through different calls to quickly identify and replay the error sequence.

• Expression Editor Improvements: Fixed issues where the sandbox would incorrectly convert arrays into objects, along with various UI and UX improvements.

• Smart Variable Editor: A larger editor automatically opens for extensive variable values, featuring syntax highlighting for code formats including JSON, HTML, JavaScript, and Markdown to name a few.

• New Request Verb Environment Variable: Access the HTTP verb (POST, GET, PUT, etc.) of the current request through a new environment variable $request_method. Particularly useful for API group middlewares handling homonymous endpoints.

• Interactive Start Page: A new guided experience that walks you through common Xano use cases, helping you get started quickly.

• Value Field Syntax Highlighting: Added intelligent syntax highlighting to value fields, making it easier to distinguish between JSON, expressions, strings, numbers, and variable references.
