Bragging about the bits
we've been busily building.

0.39.1-M1 is the first milestone of 0.39 — the largest change Orbital has had. It has been in development since April, and it changes the shape of the product in a few significant ways.

Two additions to our database connectors in this release: deleting rows through TaxiQL, and running SQL you’ve written yourself.

You can now shape the results of a query directly in TaxiQL - limiting how many rows come back, paginating through them, sorting them, and removing duplicates. We’re calling these collection options, and they look like this:

Queries published as HTTP endpoints can now opt out of authentication on a per-query basis using the new @com.orbitalhq.authentication.AllowAnonymous annotation.

As part of upcoming feature work for improved SDK tooling for JVM and TS/JS ecosystems, there are two breaking changes to the query API are shipping in 0.38.x (and nightly builds of next). Neither affects 0.37.x.

Orbital 0.37.0-M3 is the third milestone release of 0.37. We haven’t published release notes on 0.37.0-M1 or -M2, we’ll cover off those releases too.

Orbital 0.36.6 introduces enhanced authentication capabilities for complex service integration scenarios.

Orbital 0.36.5 is a patch release that updates the Taxi compiler dependency to fix enum-related compilation errors.

Orbital 0.36.4 introduces a new debugging feature for advanced troubleshooting.

Orbital 0.36.3 is a patch release that addresses issues with very large lineage records.

We’ve made some small changes on how to get Orbital running. We’ve also added a new config variable to centralize where Orbital stores all it’s internal files. You should add this config variable to your own deployments before 0.37 is released.

Orbital 0.36.2 is a patch release that fixes a critical issue with lineage persistence.

Orbital 0.36.1 is a patch release that addresses memory leaks.

Orbital 0.36 introduces a fix to type checking with array arguments.

Orbital 0.35.0 brings significant enhancements to core capabilities, with major improvements to streaming, caching, and model handling.

Orbital 0.33 is out - with lots (and lots) of small, incremental improvements to the features you already know and love.

We’re excited to announce the release of Orbital 0.31.0 - with a large focus on helping new users feel comfortable — which reminded us of a certain ’80s friend. So, we present Orbital 0.31.0 - The “Alf” edition. 👽🛸🏡

We’re excited to announce the release of Orbital 0.30.0 - our “Full House” edition, because we got so distracted by Valentine’s Day last month that we didn’t manage to ship a release, making this one double-packed.

As the Orbital office farewells Dry January, we welcome back Friday drinks with a fresh release - 0.27.0.

Orbital now honours HTTP cache headers on HTTP responses, when a cache is enabled for a query.

Let’s say you need to stitch Film data with reviews coming from an unreliable third party Rest Api:

Some UI/UX love for Orbital now, with a fine tuning of how compilation errors are being displayed on screen.

Some users have been experiencing errors when running our docker images on Apple Silicon Macbook Pro’s (M1-3 et al).

The @HttpHeader annotation now is now supported, for setting headers on HTTP requests.

Orbital now supports authentication and authorization with Azure AD (Entra) and AWS Cognito
