Patch Update V1.40.1

This is the first of our patch update blogs. This is where we'll post small (but mighty) feature updates as well as documenting the bugs that we step on.

TL;DR:

  • New Features: Opt-in Anonymous Tracking, New Cmd/Ctrl + K Palette, Agent Daemon Mode
  • Bug Fixes: MySQL Session Kill, MongoDB Schema, API Key propagation, Jira Re-run

New Features

Opt-In Anonymous Tracking

Admins will be prompted with a consent form to anonymize tracking within hoop, so we can improve the product with some handy analytics without anyone (including us) knowing who you are.

PR #1007 - https://github.com/hoophq/hoop/pull/1007

PR #1011 - https://github.com/hoophq/hoop/pull/1011

Command Palette Interface

Search and navigate faster with the new command palette: just hit Cmd + K on macOS or Ctrl + K on Windows/Linux in the Hoop web app to open it.

Agent Daemon Mode

Users will now be able to ride dragons. We’ve also introduced a new agent command that lets you run the Hoop agent as a daemon for smoother, always-on operations.

Bug Fixes

We smashed some bugs recently, too. Here's what died:

  • MySQL sessions can now be killed properly (community report)
  • Terminal page connections list now scrolls like it should
  • The API Key propagation is now fixed, so no more dropped calls
  • MongoDB schema tree browsing works without hiccups
  • “Re-run session” option removed in Jira integrations (the context wasn’t playing nice)
  • MongoDB integration is sturdier and more compatible across edge cases

Experience Boosts

  • Command Palette - Less clicking and easier searching
  • Agent Daemon Mode - Smoother rides with fewer restarts
  • Opt-in Tracking - Analytics are optionally anonymous
  • Bug Fixes - Fewer hiccups

The theme for this release is faster, lighter, and friendlier. See you in a couple weeks with more.
