Changelog

Added

• Contact form for POC requests on trial expiration

  A HubSpot contact form has been added in both Tyk Cloud and Dashboard to facilitate contacting Tyk for a Proof of Concept (PoC) when a trial expires. This new form makes it easier to connect with our team and explore further options once the trial period ends.
• Support for bundles with multiple plugins

  Tyk Cloud now supports multiple plugins in a bundle, allowing users to manage and deploy various binaries for the same plugin bundle. This enhancement provides greater flexibility in plugin configuration and deployment using `mservctl`. within MServ.
• Embedded product tour during deployment wait time

  An embedded interactive product tour has been added within the deployment screen to guide users through the Tyk Dashboard while they wait for their free trial on-boarding to complete. This tour provides an overview of key features, helping users explore what they can do on Tyk Cloud during their trial.

Changed

• UX Improvement: Redirect to activity by API section from the monitoring page

  Users are now redirected to the "Activity by API" section in the Tyk Dashboard upon clicking on the Control Plane (CP) name within the Cloud Monitoring page. This update provides a more seamless transition for users needing detailed activity insights directly from the monitoring interface.

Fixed

• "Add Portal Deployment" widget hidden for team members

  The "Add Portal Deployment" widget on the Environment page is now hidden for team members, providing a cleaner and more tailored UI experience by limiting portal management options to authorized roles only.
• "Delete User" button hidden for org admin on Org+Billing admin profiles

  The "Delete User" button for Org Admins has been hidden when viewing Org+Billing Admin profiles on the Teams page. Previously, Org Admins could see this button but would encounter an error message, "operation on this class is not permitted," when attempting deletion.
• Standardized behavior for "Upgrade" and "Account & Billing" buttons

  The behavior for accessing the billing app through the 'Upgrade' and 'Account & Billing' buttons has been standardized. Previously, clicking the 'Upgrade' button opened the billing app in a new tab, while 'Account & Billing' opened it in the same tab. Now, both buttons open the billing app consistently in the same tab.
• Direct access to "/password-reset" page now accessible without redirect

  Fixed an issue where accessing the /password-reset page directly redirected users to the login page. Now, users can navigate directly to the /password-reset page without being redirected, providing a consistent experience for password-reset requests regardless of how the page is accessed.
• Billing sidebar display corrected when no subscriptions are present

  We have resolved a display issue in the billing sidebar that occurred when no subscriptions were active. Now, the sidebar menu displays correctly regardless of subscription status, providing a consistent and clear UI for all users.
• Fix for hybrid codes visibility logic to manage node data retention

  This update addresses a critical bug in the Hybrid nodes visibility logic, which previously retained all connected node data for the Hybrid Data Planes indefinitely. The fix ensures that we only contains records from the last 7 days. This enhancement improves system performance at all stages within the Tyk Cloud UI for organizations with Hybrid Data Planes, especially those with multiple connected gateways.
