Sim Studio · releasefeatureapibugfixperformance · github.com ↗

New Features

Async Job Execution & Timeouts: The release adds async job queue backends for background task execution, enabling workflows to run asynchronously. Execution timeouts are now configurable, with cloud instances supporting up to 50 minutes and self-hosted deployments maxed out at the same limit.

UI and Editor Enhancements: New features include the ability to lock blocks on canvas (preventing accidental edits), note block preview newline support, and added documentation links in the editor for improved developer experience.

Enterprise Support: Enterprise modules have been added to support advanced deployment scenarios and organizational needs.

Improvements & Fixes

Provider Compatibility: The OpenAI integration has been migrated to the responses API, and tool calling message formats have been corrected across all LLM providers to ensure consistent behavior.

Bug Fixes: Notable fixes address Mistral v2 configuration restoration, nested object serialization in form-urlencoded HTTP bodies, workflow color preservation during import, child workflow response block errors in MCP contexts, and stale execution cleanup integer overflow issues.

Infrastructure: Redis client error handling has been improved, file object handling is now consistent across the codebase, and billing actor logging provides better consistency.

Action Items

  • Review timeout configurations if you're running self-hosted deployments
  • Test async job execution with your existing workflows to leverage background processing
  • Update any custom scripts relying on tool calling message formats across different providers
