Changelog

4.3.1 August 5, 2026

Added:

  • Domain definition changes shown in the snapshot import report,
  • Explicit search button in advanced search, with a confirmation before searching decision table matrix content and filter reset on entering the dashboard,
  • Data-collected dialog shown after a profiler run in test cases,
  • Server runtime information in monitoring system info,
  • System CPU series in the monitoring CPU chart,
  • Auto-refresh of the monitoring view for current-day ranges,
  • Average call times in the profiler call tree and method list,
  • Value-source markers and element definition shortcut in the flame graph context menu.

Fixed:

  • Missing-rights names in decision table, function and flow import reports not matching the names shown in the interface,
  • Region attach and detach for parameters, functions and flows not synchronized with the Runtime cache,
  • Domain type collection deletions not applied on snapshot import,
  • Current session not reloaded after a snapshot import completes,
  • Profiler summary covering only part of the batch test scope,
  • Permissions not refreshed after license changes, requiring a reload to unlock tabs,
  • higson-cli push failing with the default Studio integration token configuration,
  • Decision table matrix header misaligned with rows while filtering,
  • Decimal comma handling in decision table list matcher values,
  • Unsaved changes warning shown for untouched decision table dialog sections,
  • JSON and structured result formatting in the test result view,
  • First element result and result element name in the tester result view,
  • Grants not sorted alphabetically in the role edit dialog,
  • No-profile checkbox enabled without global permission,
  • View action shown for elements created in an inactive region version,
  • Profile add/edit row not fitting on screen,
  • Vertical spacing in the assign profile list,
  • Modification date column wrapping in history,
  • Diagnostic panel display details — flame graph tooltip, numeric column alignment, duration rounding and selected export scope highlight.

4.3.0 July 21, 2026

Added:

  • Diagnostic panel — a dedicated view for Runtime monitoring and analysis, comprising:
    • real-time monitoring dashboard with JVM memory, GC, threads and per-minute CPU usage,
    • performance profiler with flamegraph and call-stack profiling for functions, flows and domain attributes,
    • diagnostic export and import for offline analysis,
    • light theme support,
  • Licensing — a license is now required to run Higson, with:
    • developer license for non-production environments,
    • production license for commercial use,
    • license diagnostics — current license, usage and vCPU exceedance episodes,
    • expiry warnings — footer banner, daily popup and notifier,
  • Rule encapsulation based on profiles; rule elements can now be explicitly assigned to a profile, with:
    • profile assignment for decision tables, functions, flows and regions,
    • profile-aware read/write authorization,
    • profile-scoped filtering, export/import and snapshots,
  • Lighter versioning and faster snapshot export — memory and snapshot size optimization; when a new parameter version introduces no changes, Higson links to the previous version instead of storing a full copy, reducing footprint across Runtime, snapshot import/export, Excel import and region attach/detach, with merge, split and deduplication operations,
  • Asynchronous snapshot import — imports now run in the background and, if an instance fails mid-import, are automatically resumed by another instance, making Higson more resilient and cloud-friendly; includes job status tracking and history,
  • AI (beta) — LLM-powered assistance and AI-agent integration, with:
    • AI assistant for functions — explain and generate function code,
    • AI-assisted decision table generation,
    • documentation chat assistant backed by the Higson knowledge base,
    • Higson MCP (Model Context Protocol) server exposing Studio operations to AI agents, with per-user session scoping and tools for regions, profiles and versions,

Changed:

  • Important: Higson Studio now requires a valid license to run,
  • Refresh token stored in an HttpOnly cookie with the access token kept in memory,
  • User tokens invalidated on role reduction,
