18.1 Release Notes (9/13)

👋 Hello Builders! Today, we released version 18.1 of Airkit, and that comes with one big new feature: Animations!

🎉 Added

• Introducing custom Animations! Now it’s possible to animate a Web Control's transition from one state to another, through its styling properties. For a more details discussion on Animations, see Animations.

• Alt+Drag to copy controls in Stage

• When hovering over controls in the stage or tree, the control is synced to highlight on both areas.

🛠 Fixes & Updates

• Fewer instances of loading spinners

• Fixed linting errors for some crypto functions

• Former Button Cell's 'pressed' and 'focused' status no longer available in current web controls. We’ve added these states to the Container control

• Fixed bugs associated with migration from v17 to v18

• Earlier versions the runtime accidentally included some internal properties in the event namespace, including $schema, id, and name. When an activity/activity group contained a variable with these names, it would be inaccessible without explicitly qualifying it (eg: using “name” instead of “activity.name”). Version 18.1 removes these extra properties and fixes the bug where “id” and “name” variables would be inaccessible.

**We're looking forward to seeing what you keep building in the Airkit studio, and thank you for being part of the Airkit Builder community. ** Happy Building!
