- Design: Import from Design (from Figma) supports designs with events, animations, and transitions.
- In Web Panels at runtime, the cursor is kept in position when an event adds rows.
- Android: Autogrow support in flex control.

Only the standard platforms .NET, .NET Framework, and Java generators for SQL Server will be available in this release of GXflow. Non-standard platforms will not be included. However, this is a temporary situation. If you need support for a non-standard platform, you can request it directly from the support team.
Over the past few months, we’ve been upgrading our internal development platform and implementing Globant's security policies related to source code protection and deployment processes. This is the first GeneXus release built with our new process, which will be instrumental in delivering new versions more quickly and securely. This transition also enhances our capabilities for regression testing and security scanning of libraries and dependencies in generated applications.
We are excited to see these changes positively impact the overall quality of GeneXus and the applications it generates from now on.
