Congratulations for making it to the finish line of 2024! 🏁

It's been a more conservative year for Alloy, with a focus on behind-the-scenes improvements to Alloy's engine. While not too exciting, this has resulted in increased performance and reliability that everyone can benefit from.

In particular, Alloy Mobile iOS has seen numerous changes in the second half of the year, as part of a concentrated effort to significantly improve the user experience.

With that said, there have still been plenty of new features this year:

• A handsome new logo
• Cloud malware protection for uploaded files
• Exclude specific Text attributes from being searched
• Reports: new edit mode for Table controls, making it easier to configure headers, reorder columns and populate static/dynamic values
• Reports: new summary rows in Table controls for displaying calculated data values
• Routing: a more robust Routing Editor with reworked fastest/shortest optimisations
• Gateway: reconfigure validated imports without starting from scratch
• Gateway: clone validated imports
• Workflows: use encrypted secrets in Http Request actions
• Workflows: multi-instance Message and Output actions
• Access Policies: new expressions for building more complex rules
• Mobile: use item forms offline
• Mobile: add parent links to items
• Mobile: optimised Filters screen that excludes components and inaccessible designs

Alongside all this, work has continued throughout the year on an exciting project that we've hinted at a few times. It's taken a bit longer than we first anticipated – doesn't it always? – but as it represents the future of Alloy, we wanted to give it sufficient time to grow and evolve beyond our initial plans.

Fortunately, we're getting close to the point where we can finally reveal what we've been working on. Please bear with us a little longer, the Alloy revolution is almost here! ⚡

On behalf of the Alloy team, thank you for being with us in 2024. Enjoy the winter holidays and see you all in January! 👋
