Core Engine Release 4.47

November 2025

We upgraded! What's new? Learn more about new features, technical changes and solved bugs in 4App Core Engine.

Note on upgrading: If you skip a version when upgrading, check all release and patch notes in between for important information. They apply cumulative.
Note on individualization: If your 4ALLPORTAL is highly customized or if you installed individual apps, please contact your implementation partner before upgrading. We recommend checking your custom contents, especially layouts and object renderers, carefully after an upgrade.

Technical Changes & Admin Instructions

New RefreshActor Parameter

The RefreshActor has a new parameter refreshType with the possible values hard (default, current behavior) and soft (asks the user to save unsaved object changes before refreshing).
Further information: RefreshActor documentation

Configuration Logs no Longer Appear in the Console

Configuration-related log messages (warnings and errors about module configurations, fields, relations, etc.) are no longer written to stdout.
These logs are now exclusively stored in the database and can be viewed in admin snap-in Protocol overview > Application logs. This reduces console noise while maintaining full traceability of configuration issues.
