# Platform Release 270 - January 2024

Release 270 brings many updates that improve navigation of Apps and Vision, Station Page Redesign and Automations Improvements!

Let us know your thoughts and questions in the [Tulip Community](https://community.tulip.co/t/release-270-january-2024/10231).

## App Editor & Vision Page Improvement

The app editor and vision configuration pages are easier to navigate due to larger breadcrumbs and more consolidated edit actions.

## Station Page Redesign

[Embedded content](https://tulipinterfaces.wistia.com/embed/iframe/eou1had9ma)

The Shop Floor Page has been visually redesigned. Components are now editable via a quick action pill that appears on hover. In addition, components no longer have explicit save buttons - changes are saved whenever they're made.

## New in Automations Beta

#### Enhanced Automations Run History

Automations have enhanced automations run history failure comments to make them human-readable. In addition, run history has been redesigned to provide insight into the specific run and timing of the run.

#### Automation Continuous Loop Warning

Automations will now warn you if you accidentally set up an infinite self-loop. Users may unintentionally set up loops when they have an action (i.e. Update Table ABC) that matches the event that kicks off the automation(i.e. Table Record Updated in Table ABC).

#### Variable Management Pane Improvement

Users can now create a variable via the lefthand Assets panel at any time, and no longer are required to configure an action block in order to create a variable. Visual improvements to the variable creation flow in automations.

## Bug Fix Highlights

Release 270 contains multiple bug fixes that we want to highlight because they were reported by users:

- Fixes an issue that prevents using SQL connectors in automations when the connector function returns multiple rows.
- Fixes a scenario where an automation fails to run due to specific configuration of some connector functions.
- Fixes an issue where users had to type very quickly when entering a decimal, e.g {{1.2}} because just the decimal would be rejected, e.g. {{1.}}.
- A few users encountered an issue where their interface usage was not working when a specific feature flag was enabled. This has been fixed.
- Fixes an issue where commas (or non-period mantissas) were rejected in the number input widget, and this is treated as an invalid number, even in languages where that is the expected format.
- Fixes an issue that would leave linked records in a broken state if backend processes failed during a link or unlink action.
- Users were unable to select object list as a valid connector output. This has been fixed.
- Users can now compare timestamps in automation conditions.
- Fix for an issue that caused apps freezing/slowing during the creation of table records.
