Python 3.12 Support

We are excited to announce that the SDK now supports Python 3.12, beginning with SDK v2.224.0. This upgrade brings enhanced performance, improved security, and the following features:

Furthermore, we have eliminated the dependency on the saml package by directly embedding it into our SDK. This adjustment was made in response to Python 3.12 deprecating a module utilized by the saml package, ensuring that developers can continue to leverage its functionality without concerns of potential errors raised by this update.

For more information on Python 3.12, please visit the python documentation.

Q2 sandbox CLI Updates

CLI support has been added for push notifications through the q2 sandbox push_notification entrypoint, allowing you to Enable or Disable push notification access for a given stack in sandbox environments.

Vault Updates

The Vault connection timeout has now increased from 1 to 3 seconds, providing more flexibility when establishing connections, ensuring smoother interactions with our service.

Portal News

Community Built section

Financial Institutions now have the ability to explore what other financial institutions have built using the SDK. This is a great way for you to get ideas on how you can further extend the Q2 platform. You will be able to learn how other customers are extending the platform today by reading about their project and viewing screenshots with detailed descriptions. Most importantly, this is an opportunity for you to discover what business challenges other customers are solving with Q2 so you can take this back internally to solve as well. Our hope is that you use the Community Built as a way to engage with other Q2 customers by sharing your own projects and reading about others!

Desktop and Mobile Screenshots for Catalog Apps

Catalog Apps now have the ability to separate the mobile and desktop screenshots. The carousel component has been greatly improved. Once clicking on the component the popup expanded view can be easily transition to the next image with either the arrow keys or arrow buttons. There is also strict image recommendations to ensure a cohesive app experience. If you are an app owner please update the screenshots to this new standard.
