Release Notes

This is the list of changes to Taipy releases as they were published.

Community edition: 2.0

Published on 2022-10.

taipy 2.0 contains the latest taipy-config 2.0, taipy-gui 2.0, taipy-core 2.0 and taipy-rest 2.0 packages.

New Features

taipy-gui
2.0.0

  • Extension API: custom visual elements can be integrated into Taipy GUI applications.
    Third party HTML components can be integrated into Taipy GUI pages to address specific use cases.
    See Extension API for details.
  • New callbacks (on_init, on_navigate, on_exception and on_status) can be used to initialize a new session, detect navigation events, trigger code when exceptions are raised in user code, and invoke code when a status page is requested.
    See Callbacks for details.
  • New functions allow applications to invoke long-running callbacks without blocking.
    See Long Running Callbacks for details.
  • The Taipy GUI application configuration uses the generic Taipy configuration mechanism exposed in the new taipy-config package.
  • An application can request the status of the server application using the "status" predefined page.
  • The new 'base' property of the chart control makes it possible to create Gantt chart-like displays.
    See Gantt Charts for details.

taipy-core
2.0.0

  • New data node named SQLTableDataNode. It represents a table in a SQL database.
  • New data node named JSONDataNode. It represents the data from a JSON file.
  • SQLDataNode behavior is changed due to the release of SQLTableDataNode. Now it represents the data using custom read and write queries.
  • In standalone mode, a job whose status is SUBMITTED, PENDING, or BLOCKED can be canceled. When canceling the job, its subsequent jobs will be abandoned, and their statuses will be set to ABANDONED. When the cancel method is called on a job whose status is either RUNNING, COMPLETED, or SKIPPED, its subsequent jobs will be abandoned while its status remains unchanged. A job whose status is FAILED, CANCELED or ABANDONED cannot be canceled.
  • Taipy Core can now be run as a service by using Core().run() or tp.run(Core()). By running Core as a service, Taipy initializes the scheduler and the job dispatcher based on the provided configuration. The Taipy Core service can be run along with Taipy GUI or Taipy Rest services.

taipy-config
2.0.0

  • The new taipy-config package was exposed to be used by any other Taipy package for configuration and logging.
Improvements

taipy-gui
2.0.0 - Stopping then re-running the Gui instance is no longer required in Notebook contexts. - A discrete graphical indicator is displayed on top of pages when the server is processing.

taipy-core
2.0.0

  • The data node of a scenario or a pipeline can now be accessed directly at the scenario or pipeline levels.
  • When submitting a scenario, a pipeline, or a task, the job(s) created will be returned.
  • When submitting a scenario, pipeline, or task in standalone mode, the user can use the parameters wait and timeout to wait until the submitted jobs are finished or up to timeout seconds.
  • When in standalone mode, the job dispatcher runs in a sub-thread that periodically checks for new jobs submitted by Taipy to execute.
  • When a running job fails, its subsequent jobs will be automatically abandoned.
  • A primary scenario can be deleted along with its cycle if it is the only scenario in the cycle.
  • The messages of the various Exceptions that can be raised have been improved to help the users debug their applications.
Significant bug fixes

taipy-gui

Deprecations

Improvements

taipy-gui
1.1.3

  • The client-server communication settings are extended to accommodate various Flask deployment scenarios.
    See the documentation for the async_mode parameter to Gui.run() for more information.
  • Implicit re-run of the Gui instance in Notebook environments.
    See issue #320.
  • Test server/client versions for safe interoperability.
    See issue #323.

1.1.0

  • The State instance can be initialized in a user-defined function. See the on_init attribute of the Gui class for more details.
  • Page definitions and the bound variables can be isolated in a module to clarify the application code organization.
    See this section for details.
  • The chart control can display georeferenced data on top of maps.
    See this example for details.
  • The input and slider controls have a new change_delay property that lets you tune how fast you want to propagate changes.
    This allows for a better user experience.
  • The input control has a new password property that, if True, obscures the user input.
  • The input, number and selector controls have a new label property that lets you display a label inside the control.
  • The layout block has new syntax that makes it easier to define a repetition of column definition.
  • Support for multiple assignment to variables in on_change().

taipy-core
1.1.0

  • Execution modes: "development" mode (default) runs tasks in a synchronous way one task at a time, while "standalone" mode runs tasks in an asynchronous and parallel way using sub-processes.
  • Retry policy to read entities: the global configuration attribute retry_read_entity indicates the number of times Taipy will retry in case of error.
  • Performance improvements when reading and writing entities.
Significant bug fixes

taipy-gui

  • Error fixed when modifying a State dictionary entry in a callback.
    See issue #356.

    See issue #263.
Deprecations

taipy-core

  • The last_edition_date attribute of data nodes is now deprecated.
    last_edit_date must be used instead.
  • The edition_in_progress attribute of data nodes is now deprecated.
    edit_in_progress must be used instead.
