Release Notes Through 2019-09-19

New

1. Added ability to receive notifications if flow execution is taking longer than expected

Affected areas: scheduling flows, notifications. 

In this update, we introduced the ability to configure and receive email notifications if flow execution is taking longer than expected.

Read how to configure the notification.

2. Added option to escape double-quotes in CSV files

Affected areas: creating CSV files.

In this updated, we added the ability to escape double-quotes in CSV files. If this option is enabled and double-quotes are used to enclose fields, then a double-quote appearing inside a field will be escaped by preceding it with another double quote

To keep backward compatibility with the previous releases this option is disabled by default.

3. Improvements for Snowflake and Amazon Redshift flows running in parallel

Affected areas: Redshift and Snowflake flows.

Before this update, the files to load generated by the system all had their names derived from the destination table name. It was causing a race condition issue when the system was trying to load data into the same table from multiple parallel threads.  

In this update, we changed how the system generates the files to load into the Snowflake and Redshift. Now all files have the unique per-thread suffix, which quantities that there will be no race condition situation under the parallel load scenario.

Fixed

1. Fixed edge case when parsing XMLs

Affected areas: parsing XML files.

Prior to this update, if there was a single repeating node with value and attributes (like below), the system was not populating the node value (it was populating attributes just fine).

Please note that the system was parsing the XML with multiple repeating nodes with value and attributes (like below) just fine.
