What's new in Linx 6.8.3.0
Apr 10, 2024
- Fixed issue: Offline Linx failed to restore packages:
- The Designer threw an exception saying "Unable to load service index of source https://api.nuget.org/v3/index.json" when creating a new solution or opening an existing one. The Server would log a similar message in the Server Log. This was caused by an upgrade to the latest NuGet.Commands and NuGet.Resolver packages in Linx 6.8.0. It was resolved in this release.

- Add one-click breakpoint functionality:
- It is now easier than before to add a breakpoint to your function by making use of the one-click breakpoint functionality. When you hover over the breakpoint region of a function, you will see a breakpoint watermark icon to notify you that you can add a new breakpoint. Clicking in this area will add a new breakpoint, while clicking on an existing breakpoint will remove it. Note that you can still add breakpoints by making use of the right-click menu and F9 shortcut key as well. As part of this change, the logging indicator has moved to the right of the function name.
- Display function/event result in Debug Output window:
- When debugging a function in the Linx Designer, it can sometimes be difficult to see the final result value of the function. In this version of Linx, the result value of the function will be displayed as a JSON value in the Debug Output window after the function has finished executing.
- Show progress on Close button when closing debugger:
- Closing the debugger while a function is still executing can sometimes take some time before control is returned to the Linx designer. Added a status indicator to the Close button to notify the user that the debugger is in a closing state.
- Add ToUniversalTime() method to DateTime:
- Added the "ToUniversalTime" method to DateTime types to allow you to convert a local datetime value to Coordinated Universal Time (UTC).
- Add help link to installer for installation errors:
- It can happen sometimes that the Linx installation fails for an unexpected reason. Common causes include pending installations, a required system reboot, antivirus programs blocking access to certain resources, etc. Included a link on the installation that will navigate users to a site that lists common installation problems as well as provide some troubleshooting tips and tricks.
