New features:
Separate Designer and Server installers
The 2 parts of Stadium were split and placed into separate installers. This allows you to install them independently of each other on the same or different environments. The 2 parts are:
The Designer: applications are designed here.
The Server: build, deploy and manage your applications
Stadium Application Manager
Stadium Application Manager (or SAM as we affectionately call it
) allows you to deploy, delete and manage applications. Read the detailed list of features
here.
Undo / Redo
Now you can undo those 'Noooooooo, what was I thinking??' moments after accidentally destroying your core piece of functionality.
Web Service Connector
Create a Web Service Connector manually or by importing an OpenApi 3 file. Read more.
Forgot Password
Configure your SMTP server details in the Stadium Application Manager and all of your secured applications, built on this version or later, will automatically include 'Forgot Password' functionality.
Read more.
Query Tester
Test your database queries or stored procedures from within the Designer to see whether the expected data is returned.
Improved Security Model
The security model has been changed to be in line with the more familiar Roles security model. A page is now only accessible to a user if the page and the user belong to the same role.
Removed ExecuteConnector and CallScript
To invoke a script or connector now, simply drag it from the Application Explorer and drop it into a script at the position where you want to call it. As simple as that!
Broken References
Changing your application, e.g. deleting a Setting, can leave it with a lot of broken references to items that no longer exist. In the past, we removed these broken references, leaving you puzzled as to why a property is now suddenly blank? We changed this.
Now a broken reference is rather marked as invalid and a validation error will be displayed in the Validation panel. This allows you to easily fix any issues that arise as a result of changes you make in your application.
Extended UserAPI
FetchUser and DeleteUser were added to the list of available web service methods. For more information see the API help in the generated application's Admin Section.
Sample Applications
See how to accomplish certain basic tasks in Stadium by means of examples. Find them at the Stadium website.

Connectors can now only be used inside of scripts.
