Changelog

Robocorp App (3.0.2)

Application name changed from Robocloud Worker to Robocorp App.

Even though this is a major version update this does not break backward compatibility. In different operating systems the application name change caused problems so a major version upgrade had to be done.

For MacOS users the auto-update notification is unfortunately not working correctly for this major version update so a more direct guide is:

• Open Finder and find the Robocloud Worker application under the Applications folder.
• Right-click on the application name and select Move to Bin.
• Download and install the new app from here

Windows users can just get the new installer and run it.
On Linux the AppImage name changes.

Updated uninstall and install guides available.

Robocorp Lab (4.0.5)

This is a major version update. Please uninstall the previous version of the application and install the new version by downloading it from https://robocorp.com/download. Instructions for uninstallation are available at our documentation site.

Features and changes

• Onboarding tutorial provided to users on the first install. Guide how to get my-first-robot up and running.

• New and much faster "test run" for robots to be tested locally before uploading to the cloud.
  • Isolated run environments are re-used whenever possible to improve performance.
