Fusio 6.3 released

2026-02-01T10:28:00Z

We are happy to announce the release of Fusio 6.3. This version introduces a new AI adapter and agent connection, which allows you to connect to remote agents. These agents can help answer general questions about your Fusio instance and assist in building custom endpoint logic and schemas.

The adapter and AI features are based on the new Symfony AI components. All AI features are optional and still experimental, but we wanted to make them available early to gather feedback from our users. You can find more information about these features on our dedicated AI features page.

The following list covers the most important changes in this release:

Add AI adapter and agent connection #657
We have implemented a new AI-Adapter based on the Symfony AI components, which exposes an agent connection. This agent connection can be used in the Agent Designer, but you can also use it directly in your custom endpoints. A powerful feature is that all Fusio operations are available as tools that can be used by an agent. This allows the AI to interact directly with your Fusio instance in a controlled way.
Add agent designer which allows to build actions using an agent connection
The new Agent Designer allows you to build custom action logic through a simple conversational prompt. To get a first impression, take a look at the following screenshot:

On the left, you see a chat-style prompt similar to what you know from other LLM providers. When the LLM returns a response, Fusio parses the generated code and loads it directly into the editor on the right.

You can load code from previous prompts using the blue “Generated code” button. Once the code is inside the editor, you can execute it using the “Execute” button, which shows the response of the action. This allows you to quickly test whether the AI-generated code works as expected.
Migrate from logiscape/mcp-sdk-php to mcp/sdk #651
We have switched our internal MCP library to the official MCP PHP SDK.
Action execution wrapped in transaction
In the backend, it is possible to test an action by executing it through the Action Designer. This same logic is used in the Agent Designer when executing an action. To avoid side effects during testing, action execution is now wrapped in a transaction that is always rolled back. This means it is no longer possible, for example, to accidentally insert database entries while testing an action.
Add response factory "proxy" method which returns a PSR response
We have added a new proxy method to the response factory, which simplifies proxy scenarios where you only want to forward the response of an HTTP request.
Improve HTTP adapter proxy performance
Internally, Fusio now also uses the new proxy method, which improves performance.

If you want to provide some feedback take a look at our GitHub discussions or issues page.

Fusio 6.2 released

2026-01-01T16:29:00Z

We like to announce the next version 6.2 of Fusio. The largest change of this release is the backend migration from Angular 18 to 20. This affects the Angular SDK, TypeSchema editor and backend app, in the process we have also updated many dependencies like the Monaco editor and Apexcharts. All components of the backend app are now standalone, and we use the new @for @if syntax and signals for input and output. This makes the backend app fit for future Angular releases, and we also benefit from all changes in the ecosystem. Since this is a larger rewrite of the backend feel free to open an issue in case you have found a problem. The following list covers all important features of this release:

Migrate backend app from Angular 18 to 20
The backend app was migrated from Angular 18 to 20 using new language features and updating all dependencies.
Added backend code editor view and improved code completion
We have implemented a new code editor view to develop actions.

This view is dedicated to the Worker actions and improves the development experience for users who like to use the backend. The editor has now more space and on the right side panel you can select a connection to get additional information about this connection. While developing an action you often need to use an existing connection i.e. select data from a table or access a remote API. This side panel provides more information like available methods, and we also show details if available, i.e. for a database connection we list available tables on the connection. Besides this we have also improved the code completion of the editor.
Backend use schema editor
To create and update a schema we now use everywhere the schema editor. Previously there was a JSON editor where a user could provide a raw TypeSchema specification but this is now replaced with the editor since it is much easier for new users to create a schema.

We use this editor already in many projects and it helps to improve the user experience. The editor has also an import option so if the user likes to provide a raw TypeSchema specification this is still possible.
Add marketplace bundle
At the marketplace we have introduced a new bundle concept. A bundle is basically a set of Fusio entities like i.e. an action or schema. You can create a bundle to share such entities with our community. With this new option you can now create a bundle at your local Fusio installation and submit these entities to the marketplace.

Basically a bundle contains a reference to your local entities and if you submit the bundle to the marketplace Fusio will convert those references into a fitting object. A third user can then install this bundle from the marketplace. You need to register at the marketplace, and then you can provide your credentials at your local Fusio installation under System / Config (marketplace_client_id / marketplace_client_secret).

This is only a soft launch of this new concept, but in the future users could use this marketplace to create a vibrant community to share such entities. This would work similar to platforms like Zapier where users can share existing actions to solve or automate a specific task but in the open-source and self-hosted spirit.
HTTP-Raw Action GET Error - Template "body" is not defined in HTTP #659
The body parameter is no longer required.
Remove FQDN from OAuth2 username #655
When normalizing OAuth2 usernames we automatically remove the @ part.
Added new requests per ip, operation and user statistic
We have added some new statistics to see the request count by ip, operations and user.
Migrate from psalm to phpstan
Internally we have migrated the Fusio backend implementation and many libraries from Psalm to PHPStan.

If you want to provide some feedback take a look at our GitHub discussions or issues page.

Introducing the new trigger system

2025-10-11T10:00:00Z

With the latest 6.1 version we have introduced a new trigger system. The trigger system basically provides a way to execute a specific action in case an event was dispatched. We have now three ways to execute an action, first through an operation (HTTP request), then through a cronjob (periodically) and now through a custom event. If we take a look at the Fusio architecture the system is now build on the following entities.

The trigger allows us to build actions which only execute a simple task and then dispatch an event. Through the cronjob we can build actions which are periodically invoked which can be used i.e. to observe a specific endpoint and only fire an event if specific conditions are met. Through this we can build Zapier like workflows where we have a trigger and an action.

To create a trigger at the backend you only need to select the event and action which should be executed.

To dispatch an event you can use the dispatcher which is available at every action. For example, you could use the WorkerPHP action to run the following action which dispatches an event.

The trigger system is a powerful tool to build more decoupled actions which only solve a specific task and which together compose more complex systems. We are also planing to improve our marketplace so that it is easier to share these kinds of triggers and actions. So feel free to test this new feature and if you want to provide some feedback take a look at our GitHub discussions or issues page.

Best regards
Christoph

Fusio 6.1 released

2025-10-10T12:30:00Z

We like to announce the next version 6.1 of Fusio. This release introduces a new trigger concept and we have implemented the JsonRPC and GraphQL protocol which help to use Fusio in different environments. The great thing about these new protocols is that our users get this JsonRPC or GraphQL support for free, there is no need to change anything, since we expose only the existing operations. We now experience the advantages of our operation based approach from our past decisions. The following list covers all important features of this release:

Added new trigger concept to invoke an action through an event #359
It is now possible to define a trigger, a trigger invokes an action in case an event occurs. This allows to decouple logic in your actions, for example you could create an action fetch-latest-news which triggers an event and an action send-news-per-mail which sends the actual news per mail and through a trigger you could invoke this action. Decoupling this is a really powerful way to build more complex systems.
Added JsonRPC server #650
We have implemented a JsonRPC server which can be used to invoke every operation through JsonRPC. JsonRPC is a great simple protocol which is widely used i.e. at BitCoin (and crypto in general), LSP or MCP. For most cases we recommend to use REST API endpoints but in some circumstances it could be beneficial to use JsonRPC. At your API the endpoint is available at /jsonrpc. To use this endpoint you need to enable the JsonRPC server at the configuration.php file s. fusio_jsonrpc by default this is disabled.
Added GraphQL server #649
We have implemented a GraphQL server which provides a way to invoke an operation through GraphQL. Our GraphQL implementation is readonly this means you can use it only to query data, mutations are not supported. We expose every GET operation as query which can be used at a frontend to create custom views. If your action gets invoked through GraphQL the action receives a GraphQL context which contains also all fields from the query so you could also adjust the actual query. At your API the endpoint is available at /graphql. To use this endpoint you need to enable the GraphQL server at the configuration.php file s. fusio_graphql by default this is disabled.
Added OIDC discovery #648
We have added the /.well-known/openid-configuration endpoint which helps to automatically discover the OpenID configuration.
Implemented OpenRPC specification #306
Since we have now JsonRPC support we have also implemented the OpenRPC specification which basically describes all available operations and types.
Updated handling of public operations with invalid access token
Previously if you have provided an invalid access token for a public endpoint you would get an error message, now we still allow the access to public endpoints even if the access token is invalid, since the request would work without access token.
Possibility to configure SDKgen credentials at settings
At the system setting it is now possible to configure the SDKgen credentials.
Add option to resend the user activation code #642
At the user details there is now a new button to resend the activation code.

If you want to provide some feedback take a look at our GitHub discussions or issues page.

Fusio 6.0 released

2025-09-06T14:30:00Z

We are really proud to announce the next major version 6.0 of Fusio. This release is a great milestone for Fusio, with the new connection panels you can build now complete APIs within Fusio without the need to use an external tool. Through the MCP support there are now also many exciting possibilities how you can interact with Fusio. Our goal is to develop a platform which helps everybody to build great APIs. As usual the following list covers all important features of this release:

Added MCP server #626
We have added an MCP server, it is possible to use the MCP server directly through stdio transport by using the php bin/fusio mcp command. There is also an experimental HTTP transport which you need to activate through the configuration.
Improved API documentation
To help LLMs understand our API we have added many descriptions to each operation and schema, which in the end now also help developers.
Added OAuth2 authorization server #245
Fusio includes now a small OAuth2 authorization server which can be used to obtain an access token. This OAuth2 server can also be used by external apps i.e. if you use Fusio as backend for your single page application.
Added Fusio identity provider to use the internal authorization server
All internal apps now also automatically register the authorization server as identity provider so you can use it to login. In the future we may move completely to this authorization server.
Added well-known oauth protected resource endpoint RFC9728
To handle authentication with MCP we have implemented the oauth protected resource endpoint RFC.
Add backend filesystem, http and sdk API and panel #609
We have added new designer panels for different connection types, i.e. the HTTP panel allows to execute HTTP requests and the filesystem panel allows to manage files.
Moved backend database endpoint under connection (breaking change)
We have moved the complete database endpoint under the connection which now works similar to the other connection designer panels. Note this is a breaking API change, so you need to adjust your URLs in case you use this endpoint. Basically you only need to change the base path from /backend/database/:connection_id to /backend/connection/:connection_id/database.
Add option to configure different captcha provider
It is now possible to configure different captcha provider so that you can use an alternative to ReCaptcha. The captcha is used to protect your user registration.
Add config option to disable user registration
In case you want to build an internal app you can deactivate the user registration.
Improve responsive design of the backend app
We have improved the backend CSS layout so that it is more responsive for other devices like a tablet or smartphone.

If you want to provide some feedback take a look at our GitHub discussions or issues page. For more details and background information about the release you can also take a look at my personal blog, where I have published a post about the new 6.0 release.

Fusio Plant introduction

2025-06-28T13:42:00Z

With this post we like to introduce our new project Plant, a server management tool to easily self-host Fusio and other apps on your server.

The goal of Plant is to provide builders an easy way to self-host multiple apps on a server. It can be seen as a modern lightweight alternative to cPanel or Plesk with a simple, performant and clean tech-stack. Since Plant is also based on Fusio it provides a complete REST API. We have just released a first version, so feel free to check out the GitHub repository in case you are interested in an easy and cost effective way to self-host apps. Plant is, of course, perfectly designed to run Fusio, but it is also possible to run any other web-app that provides a docker image.

If you want to provide some feedback, you can jump on our Discord or you can also create an issue at the Plant repository.

Best regards

Fusio 5.2.5 released

2025-06-21T21:33:00Z

We like to announce the next version 5.2.5 of Fusio. The following list covers all important features of this release:

Upgrade command use resources path
The upgrade command to migrate YAML operations to PHP is now using the resource path from the config.
App detect url via javascript for localhost
For a long time we had the problem, that once you have installed an app and changed the url later on, your apps would no longer work since we could not update the url from the already installed app. To solve this problem we use now the JavaScript location.hostname to dynamically get the host in case no url is configured. This means for new installations the APP_URL and APP_APPS_URL environment variables are optional.
Implement API Catalog RFC9727
We have implemented the new API Catalog RFC which helps to make your APIs more discoverable.
Add humans.txt and robots.txt
The /humans.txt and /robots.txt endpoint are now implemented and served directly from Fusio.
Added the following .well-known/ uris: api-catalog, oauth-authorization-server and security.txt
We implemented various useful .well-known/ endpoints.
Fix redoc app handle dynamic urls
For the redoc app the dynamic url handling has not worked since the url was not executed in a JavaScript context which is now fixed.
Fix WorkerPHPLocal action cache path
The local PHP worker now uses the correct cache path and therefore writes the action code into the cache/ folder.
Removed introspection from database connections
The introspection feature is replaced by the database panel which allows a user to access the db. Because of this, we have removed the implementation and marked the interface as deprecated. Please do no longer use this interface inside your custom action.

For the next 5.3 release, we are thinking about implementing a custom MCP server inside Fusio. This means all your operations could be used as tool from an LLM. Please let us know whether you are also interested in such a use-case.

If you want to provide some feedback take a look at our GitHub discussions or issues page.

Christoph

Fusio 5.2.4 released

2025-06-12T09:28:00Z

We like to announce the next version 5.2.4 of Fusio. The following list covers all important features of this release:

Update apps list
We have updated the design of the app list script in the apps/ folder.
Improve base url detection without defining a url
Fusio now tries to auto-detect the url of your server by using the Host header in case no url was configured. Previously it was required to provide the url.
Exclude firewall and rate-limit on deploy and testing
The firewall was excluded from internal deployment and testing so that you don't get a ban in case of errors.
Add schema nullable handling
It is now possible to use the nullable attribute at your schema which allows making properties mandatory in case they are nullable: false, by default every property is nullable.
Remove trailing slash from OpenAPI specification
On OpenAPI generation we have removed the trailing slash of the base url.

With this release, we have also updated our website and readme to help new users start with Fusio.

If you want to provide some feedback take a look at our GitHub discussions or issues page.

Best regards
Christoph

Fusio 5.2.3 released

2025-05-05T18:22:00Z

We like to announce the next version 5.2.3 of Fusio. The following list covers all important features of this release:

Add option to set user points via API #586
It is now possible to set user points through the API which allows you to configure the user points through an external billing system.
Added firewall feature #508 #154
A new firewall feature was added, through this it is possible to block specific IPs from accessing your API. It includes also an automatic fail2ban logic to automatically ban specific IPs in case they have produced to many error responses.
Add verbose mode to marketplace env/install/upgrade command for debugging #625
It is now possible to use the -v flag at the env/install/upgrade command to get more detailed error responses.
Add CLI option to ready payload from stdin
Besides providing data as argument or via a file it is now possible to read data from stdin by using "-" as argument.
Updated marketplace env command, add an option to replace all available apps
The env command has now an option replace env variables for all available apps at the apps/ folder, this is now also used at the docker image so that it is possible to add additional apps to the docker image.

If you want to provide some feedback take a look at our GitHub discussions or issues page.

Fusio 5.2.2 released

2025-04-12T19:07:00Z

We like to announce the next version 5.2.2 of Fusio. The following list covers all important features of this release:

Add form feature to build Forms for your API endpoints
We have added a new "Form" panel at the backend. The form panel should help users to build a simple UI for an API endpoint. I.e. if you have created a "Product" API and you need a simple way to create a form for this endpoint so that users can create product entries. At the core to create a new form you need to select an operation and specific an UI schema.

The UI schema is basically an arbitrary JSON to describe the form, this format depends on the used frontend form library i.e. we could use JSON Forms. We can then request the /consumer/form/~my-test-form endpoint to get our form including the UI and JSON Schema of the operation, the JSON Schema is automatically generated from the incoming schema of the selected operation. In this first step we have added the form panel to the backend, but we also plan to create a dedicated "form" app where users can login to directly work with those forms.
Add option to configure trusted IP header for proxy
It is now possible to configure a trusted IP header proxy. This is needed in case you Fusio instance runs behind a proxy so that our rate limiting service gets the actual IP of the user, otherwise all request come from the same IP and you quickly get 429 responses. It is important to set an actual trusted header otherwise a user would be able to provide a random IP through the header.
Add command to migrate YAML definitions to PHP
We have adjusted the system:upgrade command to migrate a YAML definition to PHP. This is completely optional but it can be useful for better type-safety of your operation configuration.
```
php bin/fusio system:upgrade
```
Add OpenAI SDK integration
We have added a new OpenAI SDK which can be used to talk to the OpenAI API.
Improved docker handling in case the marketplace is down
In the last week we had some performance problems with our marketplace server, also due to some DDOS requests which we have received. This should be now mitigated but we have also improved the code so that the docker build should always start even in case the marketplace server is down.
Fixed scope list empty #620
We have updated the backend, developer and account app to the latest version so that the new token scope selection form works as expected.

Internally we are working also on a new project called Fusio Plant which is basically an API driven server panel to easily self-host apps on your server, similar to server panels like cPanel, Plesk or Webmin. It is dedicated to easily run multiple Fusio instances on your server, but it can be also used to run other apps.

If you want to provide some feedback take a look at our GitHub discussions or issues page.

Christoph

Fusio 5.2.1 released

2025-03-22T17:27:00Z

We like to announce the next version 5.2.1 of Fusio. The following list covers all important features of this release:

Add Content-Type handling
It is now possible to configure different Content-Types as request/response schema at an operation. This can be used in case you action consumes or produces content which is not JSON. A content type basically only describes the content of the body but it is not possible to specify specific fields. In general we recommend to use JSON payloads which can be described in detail but this can be used for cases where this is not possible. The content type is also reflected at the generated client SDK.
Update all adapter dependencies
We have updated all adapter dependencies and added PHP 8.4 tests.
Improved marketplace list view
The marketplace list view was improved and the SDK was updated. The marketplace itself was also updated so feel free to register in case you want to distribute actions or apps to the Fusio ecosystem.
Fix user role select #615
A critical bug was fixed which prevented to select a role when creating a new user.
Add option to specify operations as PHP config files instead of YAML
Besides YAML files it is now possible to specify the operation config as PHP file. This can improve type-safety since it is possible to reference PHP classes with the ::class notation.

If you want to provide some feedback take a look at our GitHub discussions or issues page.

Best regards
Christoph

Fusio 5.2.0 released

2025-03-09T11:23:00Z

We are happy to release the next version 5.2.0 of Fusio. This release took a little bit longer then expected but it is packed with great new features and improvements. The following list covers all important features of this release:

Update Angular SDK
We have redesigned our Angular SDK which is used at the backend and also at the APIgen project to automatically generate Angular backend apps. In this new version we moved away from the modal to a dedicated url where the form is shown, this makes our code cleaner and you can also now send and share links to a form. The list and detail component are now also dedicated components with a route, previously the list and detail component where combined in one view, this again makes also the code cleaner and you can share links to those components. Another improvement is the auto-complete, previously we had many drop-down where we had displayed every entry, we now have an auto-complete for every entity.
Update backend app using the new Angular SDK
We have migrated the complete backend app to the new Angular SDK, during this migration we have added 6.236 and deleted 7.512 lines of code, so it was a big undertaking. If you notice any problems with the new backend app do not hesitate to open an issue at our repository.
Update chart response schema and data
We have updated the response schema of the chart endpoints to match with the latest version of the ApexCharts which we have also updated.
SQL-Query-All and SQL-Query-Row action add support for {user_id} and {user_name} placeholder which contains the user id and name of the current user
It is now possible to use the {user_id} and {user_name} placeholder at the SQL-Query-All and SQL-Query-Row action.
Use SQL generated column enum
We have update to the psx/sql dependency to the latest version, through this we get an enum class for each table which contains all columns. These enums are now used in case we accept a column name via query parameters so that we can get sure that we only receive valid column names.
Update PHP-Sandbox
The psx/sandbox dependency was update to the latest version. The PHP-Sandbox action was intended for prototyping and quick testing, in general we recommend to use a worker action or a dedicated PHP class for production code.
Update PHP dependencies and full PHP 8.4 support
With this release we have made our code and all dependencies compatible with PHP 8.4.
PHP 8.3 as minimum requirement
We have now set PHP 8.3 as minimum requirement.

If you want to provide some feedback take a look at our GitHub discussions or issues page.

Best regards
Christoph

Fusio 5.1.6 released

2024-11-09T21:53:00Z

We are happy to release the next version 5.1.6 of Fusio.

The following list covers all important features of this release:

Updated to latest TypeSchema version
With this release Fusio supports the latest version of TypeSchema. The latest version uses several new keywords but every old schema should still work through a BC layer. The only breaking change is the removal of the "oneOf" keyword which is no longer supported, instead it is recommended to use the new discriminator keyword.
Backend and Developer app update to Angular 18
We have updated all our Angular backend apps to the latest version 18. Through this we could also update several other dependencies like the moncao code editor.
Backend update TypeSchema editor
The backend uses now also the latest version of the TypeSchema editor, you can see the latest version in action at the sandbox.
Update Fusio SDK to SDKgen 2.0
We have updated the Fusio SDK to the latest SDKgen version. The Javascript SDK contains a BC break since we have changed the package format. Previously our package exposed every file, now the SDK exposes a single file so that you can include every class through the package s.

Before:
```
import {BackendOperation} from "fusio-sdk/dist/BackendOperation";
```
After:
```
import {BackendOperation} from "fusio-sdk";
```
It is no longer possible to invoke an inactive operation, in this case the user receives a 410 status code #582
A bug fix so that it is no longer possible to invoke an inactive operation.
Deleted scopes are no longer visible
A bug fix which now hides deleted scopes from the specification.
Update deps which fixes a security issue in twig/twig
We have updated twig to the latest version which resolves a security issue.
Fixed a CORS header problem for Firefox
A CORS header issue was fixed which caused a problem under Firefox.

If you want to provide some feedback take a look at our GitHub discussions or issues page.

Best regards
Christoph

Fusio 5.1.4 released

2024-08-25T12:44:00Z

We are happy to release the next version 5.1.4 of Fusio.

The following list covers all important features of this release:

Added new index to fusio_log #575
A new index was added to the fusio_log table to increase the performance.
Add Util-Template action
A new action Util-Template was added which allows to build a custom responses using a template engine, this can be useful to build i.e. HTML or XML responses.
Add option to disable the database panel
A new config fusio_database was added to disable the database panel.
SQL entity generator use plain table name if available and add index only if needed
The SQL entity generator now uses the plain table name and adds only an index if the table already exists. Since it is now possible to delete an table through the database panel it is no longer needed to always use the index.
Fix marketplace action installation
A problem was fixed which caused some issues on action installation.

If you want to provide some feedback take a look at our GitHub discussions or issues page.

Best regards
Christoph

Fusio 5.1.3 released

2024-08-05T20:58:00Z

We are happy to release the next version 5.1.3 of Fusio.

The following list covers all important features of this release:

Add category id to connection
The connection contains now a category id, this means users assigned to a specific category also only see the connections assigned to this category.
Add option to disable a specific test case
It is now possible to disable specific tests in case it is not possible to test them.
Streamline worker response return
The Java/Javascript and Python worker were adjusted to require a return of the response, previously this was not required. In most cases you probably have this already in your action but if not you need to return the response.build(...) response. Also the Java worker has changed that you now need to implement a def handle(...) method, the documentation contains also an example.
Test use transaction around main connection
The main connection starts now also a transaction so that running tests creates no log entries etc.
Fix set HTTP code on existing operation
Previously it was not possible to change the HTTP code of an existing operation which is now fixed.
SQL action handle UUID as primary key
The SQL actions work now also with UUID as primary key instead of auto increments.
Add GraphQL-Query action
A new GraphQL-Query action was added which executes a defined GraphQL query and returns the response. This has the advantage that your endpoint only returns a specific response which you can describe with a schema.
Improve marketplace env handling to replace only string values
We have made the env replace logic more robust by only handling scalar values.

If you want to provide some feedback take a look at our GitHub discussions or issues page.

Christoph

Fusio 5.1.2 released

2024-07-28T20:52:00Z

We are happy to release the next version 5.1.2 of Fusio. This release adds a new test panel which helps to improve the quality of your API, also we have added new statistics and improved the dashboard.

In the following list we cover all important features of this new release:

Add test panel to test the quality of your API
We have added a new test panel at the development section which helps to test your API endpoints. If you run the tests Fusio will invoke every API endpoint and check whether the response code matches and also that a schema is defined and the returned response fits to the schema. You can also set parameters to invoke your operation. All tests are executed under a transaction so that they have no direct side effect on your actual database.
Add JSON detail view to backend
We have added a JSON button which allows you to view the raw JSON value of the underlying resource.
Add new statistic activities per user, most used activities, user registrations and update dashboard
We have added new statistics and updated the dashboard, it now includes the Test coverage, Most used activities, Activities per user and User registrations. Please note that you also need to use the new backend app version if you update Fusio.
Convert id response property from int to string and removed affected property
The id property of a success message at the SQL actions has changed from int to string so that it fits the schema.
Fix install backend app
There was an error at the install.php script regarding the Fusio app installation which is now fixed
Fix app env command to include scopes
The env command includes now also all scopes
Fix installation sync to automatically add new scopes on migration
We fixed an error regarding the scope migration so that new scopes are now correctly added.

If you want to provide some feedback take a look at our GitHub discussions or issues page.

Best regards
Christoph

Fusio 5.1.0 released

2024-07-14T11:05:00Z

We are happy to release the next minor version 5.1.0 of Fusio.

In the following list we cover all important features of this new release:

Add backend database panel
A new database panel was added which allows you to view and edit the database schema of every SQL connection. This new database panel replaces the phpMyAdmin and Adminer app which are no longer needed to modify your database schema. This improves also the developer experience since you can now build your complete API inside the backend.
Integrate the new marketplace
We have introduced a new marketplace where every user can register and provide actions and apps which can then be installed through the marketplace panel. Previously the marketplace contained only apps, the new marketplace also contains actions.
Add development section to the backend app
To keep the menu clearer we have introduced a new "development" section which now contains the new Database panel and we have also moved the SDK, Generator and Marketplace to this section.
Add SDK Fabric adapter
The SDK Fabric adapter is based on our new SDK-Fabric project which is our attempt to integrate external APIs into Fusio. Initially we have added some services like Airtable/Notion and we plan to extend this on demand, so please let us know if you like to see support for a specific service. Every SDK connection can then be used in an action to work with the service.
Add PHP local worker
A new PHP local worker was added which works exactly like the normal PHP worker, the only difference is that the code gets executed on the server where Fusio runs and not at a dedicated worker service, this means you can use this worker directly out of the box without configuring a worker.
Improve PHP worker use engine interface
The PHP worker services now also implement the interfaces of the fusio/engine package which are used on internal actions. This makes it easier to move action code into different environments.

With this release we greatly improve the developer experience by providing a database panel, and we have started to integrate external service SDKs. In the future we plan to extend those services so that Fusio can be used to easily integrate and build new services based on those SDKs. Have fun with this release, if you want to provide some feedback take a look at our GitHub discussions or issues page.

Best regards

Fusio 5.0 released

2024-06-01T12:55:00Z

We are really excited to finally release the next major version 5.0 of Fusio.

This release provides some great new features, and we continue our mission to build one of the best tools to build innovative API solutions. Like always we will cover all important features of this new release in the following list.

Multi tenancy
Fusio now supports multi tenancy on the database level. This helps to efficiently run multiple Fusio instances on a single large server or cluster. To configure a tenant you only need to set the APP_TENANT_ID environment variable and all database calls will only select rows with the fitting tenant id. There are also API endpoints to setup or remove a tenant.
Worker redesign
We have redesigned the worker system. In general the worker system allows to write backend logic in different programming languages. Previously we have used the Thrift RPC system to manage the communication between Fusio and the worker. We have moved away from this to a simple REST API which gives us the benefit to run such a worker in different environments like on a serverless platform which is a natural fit for a worker.
Personal access token
It is now possible at the user panel to create a personal access token. Through this a user can easily obtain an access token to access private endpoints. It is possible to select specific scopes for the token and how long the token is valid.
Config add option to exclude specific actions and connections
The config file contains two new options fusio_action_exclude and fusio_connection_exclude which can be used to exclude specific connections or actions at your instance. I.e. by default Fusio offers some "unsafe" actions like the CLI or PHP-Sandbox action which can be a security issue. Through the new config it is possible to exclude such actions.
Add account app
We have added a new dedicated account app which can be integrated into an existing web app to manage all developer account details. This app is also included at the developer and backend app.
Access metadata in action
Inside your action it is now possible to access the metadata of the action. You can set this metadata if you create an action through our backend API.
Backup import/export
At the backend we have a new panel under System / Backend which can be used to import/export the complete configuration. This makes it also easier to move configurations from test to production environments. Note this only exports the database configuration, custom classes at the src folder are not exported and must be synced separately.
Every create, update and delete operation now returns the affected id
The backend API now returns the affected primary key for every create, update and delete operation. This can be useful if you want to directly further work with an entity which you have created.
Added and improved actions
We have added the following two new actions, besides this we have also improved several other actions.
- Fusio\Adapter\Http\Action\HttpRaw
  
  A new action to send complete customized HTTP requests. This allows i.e. to send XML payloads to invoke legacy web services.
- Fusio\Adapter\Util\Action\UtilCondition
  
  A new action to invoke different actions depending on a logic expression. Through this it is possible to invoke different actions depending on a condition.
Improved OAuth2 connection handling
We have improved the OAuth2 connection handling so that it is now easier to add connections which needs OAuth2 authorization. In the future we will add new connections to external services so that our users can easily integrate those external services into Fusio.

At the end I like to give you a short insight into our future plans. We are working for some time in the background on a new project called SDK-Fabric, this project basically tries to build a global SDK infrastructure for different provides. We plan to integrate those SDKs into Fusio so that you can easily work with those services in your actions. You can think of it like Zapier where you can configure your connections and then create actions to execute specific tasks. The SDK-Fabric project contains currently only some provides but we hope to extend this in the future also with the help of our community. Despite this we plan to reboot our Fusio cloud platform using our new tenant and worker system. We try to build a platform where every user can easily get a new Fusio instance in the cloud.

Finally I like to thank every user who supports our project. In the last year we have seen many activities and I had also lots of great conversations which also influenced this release. To support our project feel free to give it a star on GitHub and you can also financially support the project through a donation.

Best regards
Christoph

Website update and preparing the 5.0 release

2024-04-27T19:27:00Z

We are currently preparing the launch of the next Fusio major release version 5.0. As first step we are rolling out our website and documentation update.

We have identified and described 5 use cases of Fusio, we have gathered these use cases over the years working with our users and we think this should help new users to see how Fusio can be used. These use cases are now listed in the documentation and also at the website.

Besides this we have updated our SDK page which now lists our additional C# and Python SDK and also provides direct links to examples. At the documentation we have also rewritten many pages for the latest 5.0 release and added more screenshots and explanations how to configure specific actions.

Regarding the next 5.0 release, we are currently in the last steps to test and polish the 5.0 release. We have implemented all planed features from our roadmap: Multi-Tenancy, Worker redesign, Personal Access Tokens, C# and Python SDK. Especially the Multi-Tenancy feature is a big change so if you like to help with testing feel free to check out the latest Fusio version from GitHub which already contains all 5.0 dependencies.

With this update we enter a feature freeze where we and our users can test and evaluate the latest release. We are planing to release the next Fusio version by the end of may. If you have any testing feedback please feel free to directly create an issue at GitHub.

Best regards
Christoph

Fusio 4.0.5 released

2024-03-17T20:24:00Z

We are happy to announce version 4.0.5 of Fusio, this release contains mainly bug fixes from the daily work with Fusio. In the following list we cover all important changes:

Fix developer portal password reset captcha
If you had configured a recaptcha for the developer portal it was not correctly shown at the password reset dialog, this is now fixed.
Truncate long User-Agent headers
If you run a Fusion instance on the internet you notice some errors in case some bots with really long user agents visit your API. With this release we truncate really long user agent headers.
HTTP processor ignore hop by hop headers
The HTTP Processor action ignores specific hop by hop headers, most importantly Transfer-Encoding so that it is possible to redirect "chunked" responses.
HTTP processor add input to configure fix query parameters
It is now possible to hard-code specific query parameters which are always passed to the remote endpoint.
HTTP processor and connection set user agent
The HTTP Processor and Connection now sets a fitting User-Agent header.
HTTP connection add option to set an Authorization header
It is now also possible to set a fix Authorization header to authenticate against the remote endpoint.
Fix record serialization so that it is possible to put a record into the queue
It is now possible to put a record instance directly into the queue, i.e. if you simply want to pass the request body into the queue.

As a heads up, we are currently working in the background at the next major Fusio 5.0 release, the release will include the following big features:

Multi-Tenancy
This will allow us to setup a single big Fusio instance where you can run multiple clients. This feature is also the basis for our future fusio.cloud redesign where developers can simply register to get a Fusio instance in the cloud.
Worker redesign
Currently the worker system uses the Apache Thrift protocol, we plan to redesign this into a simple REST API so that it is also possible to run a worker on a serverless platform like AWS Lambda. We will also make the worker stateless so that it is no longer needed to persist the credentials at the worker.
Personal Access Tokens
Similar to a personal access token at GitHub it is possible for every user to create a complete customized access token using the scopes which are assigned to the user. We will also extend the developer portal with a new tab where a user can configure such a token.
Add C# and Python SDK support
We will extend our code generator so that it is possible to generate client SDKs in C# and Python, through this we can also support C# and Python at our Fusio SDK.

The Multi-Tenancy and Personal Access Tokens feature is almost completed, we are currently working mainly on the Worker redesign, you can also follow our progress at the fusio-impl repository. Besides those features we also plan to improve our website and documentation for the new release. Feel free to participate at our GitHub discussions or Discord server.

As a last note, I like to thank every supporter of Fusio, in 2024 we have seen a huge spike in visitors and engagement. We think that Fusio is a unique tool on the API marketplace which bridges the gap between API management and general backend as a service provider. So we are excited for the future and we will continue to follow our mission to create innovative API solutions.

Best regards
Christoph

Fusio 4.0.4 released

2024-01-14T20:42:00Z

We are happy to announce version 4.0.4 of Fusio, with this release we start 2024 pushing API development to the next level. In the following list we cover all important changes:

Improve backend dashboard response to prevent null values
The backend dashboard response does not include null values instead we use 0 for better backend charts.
SQL Adapter improve table generator schema name
The SQL adapter now uses better schema name in case you generate an API based on a table.
Add oracle and mssql docker image flavor
We have added an oracle and mssql docker image flavor in case you want to connect to a oracle or mssql database.
Backend app improve change detection of action and schema links
In some cases the action and schema detail view was not updated, this is now fixed and the component now renders correctly on change.
Backend app schema editor add raw JSON/YAML import
At the schema editor it is now possible to import raw JSON/YAML data.
Fixed CLI login expires in
A problem regarding the CLI login was fixed.
Fixed Google social login
A problem regarding the Google social login was fixed.
TypeAPI generate base url and security
The generated TypeAPI specification now contains the base ur and security settings of your Fusio instance.

Best regards
Christoph

Fusio 4.0.3 released

2023-10-28T17:03:00Z

We are happy to announce version 4.0.3 of Fusio. In the following we will cover the most important changes of the 4.0.3 release and also the last two minor updates which we have not yet covered:

4.0.3
Fix backend sdk download button
The SDK download button was not show correctly at the backend app, the SDK was generated in background but the button to download the SDK was not available, this is now fixed.
OAuth2 endpoint use seconds for "expires_in" instead of unix timestamp
The "expires_in" property of the OAuth2 token response contained previously a unix timestamp. This behaviour was wrong according to the OAuth2 specification, we have adjusted the response so that the "expires_in" property only contains the lifetime in seconds of the access token. Note if you use this property please adjust the behaviour accordingly.
Add sdkgen integration
We have recently launched SDKgen, a new project which we have developed to help everybody generate production ready SDKs for their API. Fusio contains now an SDKgen integration, this means that you can enter your SDKgen credentials at the .env file and you can then automatically use our advanced code generator which we provide through SDKgen, this means you can also generate i.e. Java or CSharp client SDKs for your API.
4.0.2
Implemented symfony/messenger to support async work queues
We now use internally the Symfony Messenger component to handle background tasks. This means that you can now also easily configure an actual message queue like RabbitMQ. Fusio uses by default a database based message queue which works out of the box.
Improved client SDK grouping
We have improved the internal client SDK generator to group your operations based on the operation name. If the operation name contains a dot all operations are grouped under this name. I.e. you operation name could be product.execute and the execute operation will be placed in a separate product class.
Added composite app filter
By default we use now the app filter which contains your app and authorization routes which are mostly required to work with your API.
Change migration execution order to always execute the internal Fusio migration and then the App migrations
Fusio now executes always at first the internal Fusio migrations and after this your app migrations.
4.0.1
Improved Passthru handing for file uploads
File upload handling was improved using the Passthru schema.
Add new model SDK generator
We have now included all model generators which can be also used directly at the backend.
Add default robots.txt
A default robots.txt was added to prevent all crawler indexing your API and apps. Our developer portal and documentation apps are not SEO optimized so this might have a negative impact on your website serving those pages directly. Because of this we have added a robots.txt to disallow crawling by default, if this is intended we recommend to create a dedicated subdomain where you can also use a fitting robots.txt.
Updated TypeSchema editor
The TypeSchema editor was improved, including better import and export possibilies.
Updated backend and developer app dependencies
All backend and developer app dependencies are updated to the latest version.

Best regards
Christoph

Fusio 4.0 released

2023-07-30T17:02:00Z

I'am happy to announce the next major version 4.0 of Fusio. We have worked the last 9 month at this new release and it contains many innovative features to challenge the current API tooling landscape. In the following we will cover the most important changes:

Transition from routes to operations
The new Fusio version is tightly integrated with TypeAPI a new specification which we have developed to describe REST APIs and which is optimized for code generation. At TypeAPI the basic building block is an operation, an operation executes your business logic and is assigned to a specific HTTP method and path. This is then also reflected at Fusio where you can now create an operation at the backend instead of a route. Through this we are able to generate developer friendly and ready to use client SDKs for your API.
Use the Symfony DI container to manage all dependencies
We use now for all dependencies the Symfony DI component. This is a great improvement for our internal code quality and it also helps you if you want to build new actions or adapters. We can now simply load specific paths and the DIC auto-wires all services. It brings us also a great performance benefit since the container gets compiled into highly optimized code.
Updated the underlying PSX framework to version 7.0
We have updated the underlying PSX framework to the latest version. This improves our schema an API generation tooling since we now use the latest version of those components.
Changed license from AGPLv3 to Apache 2.0
With this version we have changed our license from AGPL to Apache 2.0, this gives our users much more freedom to use Fusio also in a commercial context without the need to make all code public. We like to thank every user in the past who has purchased an enterprise plan, this is no longer needed. If you still want to support the Fusio project please take a look at the donation options.
Upgrade backend apps to latest Angular 16
We have updated the Backend and Developer app to Angular 16. With this we have also updated our javascript SDK to the latest version which now works with the Fusio 4.0 API. For simplicity we have removed the documentation app and use now the ReDoc app as default API documentation app.
Option to support multiple action types
The new version allows you to specify different action types. Previously it was required to create an action for every case, now it is possible to directly reference a class or HTTP URL without the need to create an action at an operation.
Identity and OpenID Connect improvements
It is now possible to configure an Identity Provider at the backend, this allows a user to register i.e. at the developer portal or backend without the need to register an account. We have also added a general OpenID Connect provider which helps to integrate other identity provider.

We are really happy with this release and think that it is a great milestone for Fusio to make API development easier and more accessible for many users. Especially our internal SDK code generator, to generate high quality and ready to use client SDKs, is a great unique feature of Fusio. In the background we have already a great list of cool new features which we like to add within the next 4.x releases.

If you like to support our project you can give us a star on GitHub, there you can also find available donation options. If you have questions or problems regarding Fusio you can also join our discord server or create an issue at Github.

Please take a look at our upgrade document if you want to upgrade an older Fusio 3.x version to 4.x.

Best regards
Christoph

Status and development of Fusio 4.0

2023-06-08T09:48:00Z

In this post I like to talk about the current status and development process for the next Fusio major version 4.0.

In the last three months since our last blog post we have completed our two big milestones. We have released a first version of TypeAPI a new specification to describe REST APIs and we have released a new major version of the underlying PSX framework.

While building the new TypeAPI specification we have also improved our TypeSchema code generator with new languages and complete integration tests. There is now also a docker image and GitHub action which can help you to integrate our code generator. All these improvements are then automatically integrated into the next Fusio version.

The next Fusio version will also include a better TypeHub integration. TypeHub is a platform to design open data specifications, it is like GitHub for data modelling. It is currently in an alpha stage but we are planing to greatly improve the platform. This means that you can simply use any schema at TypeHub in your Fusio instance and it is also possible to upload your schemas to TypeHub.

We are currently in the process to upgrade Fusio to the new PSX version, if you like you can follow the process at the development branch. The process is already very advanced and I think we will complete this within the next month.

There is another big change for the next Fusio version which I like to introduce. Currently at Fusio there is a "Routes" panel and each route has assigned HTTP request methods where you can invoke an action. With the new Fusio version we are planing to remove the "Routes" panel and add a new "Operation" Panel. An operation is basically a function which can be invoked through an REST API call. So we are moving from an HTTP resource centric design to a more RPC like design. This is then also reflected in the new TypeAPI spec where we also model operations instead of HTTP resources. This design has especially great benefits for automatic code generation. We are still in the process with this development but this is just a short teaser so that our community knows the direction where we are heading.

This was a short post to cover the current status of the next Fusio major version 4.0. I hope you are also as excited as we are for the next version which tries to step-up the API development process even further. Also please let me know in case you have any thoughts or ideas regarding the next Fusio version.

Best regards
Christoph

Development and future plans for the next Fusio release

2023-03-25T12:33:00Z

In this post I like to talk about the current status of development for the next Fusio release and our future plan for this release.

In the background we are currently working on a heavy rewrite of our code generation system. In its first version the code generation system was already fine but the generated code was not very easy to use since it contained many HTTP concepts like a resource endpoint etc. and also the method names were generated by the path name which not always resulted in an easy-to-use method name. Our next code generator is based on a complete new specification called TypeAPI, it is similar to OpenAPI but optimized for code generation to generate high quality client SDKs. I will let you know once we have a first version to the TypeAPI specification released.

In this process we have also released a new version of our internal framework PSX which Fusio uses. The biggest change is that we now use the Symfony DI container to resolve all our dependencies, that means in the future you don`t need to register any dependencies instead they get automatically autowired. It brings also a great performance improvement since the container gets compiled into an optimized format and it is a tool which many developers already know. This means that we also need to update our existing Fusio code base to this new framework version.

So these are currently our two big milestones which we need to complete in order to release the next version of Fusio. We think that this is a great next step for Fusio. Regarding the timeline, out plan is to release a first version of the TypeAPI specification at the beginning of the second quarter. The framework update of Fusio will probably take a bit longer since we need to redesign some parts of the existing system, but I think we will complete this also by the end of the second quarter. So please stay tuned and let me know in case you have any questions or ideas regarding this new release.

Best regards
Christoph

Introducing APIgen an API code generator

2022-12-25T12:45:00Z

I am happy to introduce you to our new service APIgen. APIgen helps you to generate complete APIs based on a model definition. The generated API is based on Fusio and it helps to quickly bootstrap an API project. You can design the model definition at the APIgen backend through a simple web editor s.

After modelling your entities and the relations you can generate the Fusio code through the "Generate" Button. The generated code is ready to use and is basically a complete customized API tailored to your use case. We have also wrote a small blog post about the motivation to build APIgen.

So this is just a first introduction to our new service and we are really excited about the future and what is possible to build with APIgen. If you are interested in the service please feel free to register, the service is free and ready to use. If you have any problems or want to provide feedback please create directly an issue at our repository.

Best regards
Christoph

Fusio 3.3.1 released

2022-11-12T19:32:00Z

We like to announce version 3.3.1 of Fusio. This patch release improves many small parts of Fusio, the following list covers all important changes of this release:

Improve generator always set prefix to route, action and schema
Fusio provides several generator to i.e. create endpoints based on an existing database or to import an OpenAPI specification, all actions and schemas which are created by such a generator are now prefixed by the base path.
Improve SQL adapter
We have fixed several problems with SQL adapter and also added a new SqlDatabase generator which allow you to create endpoints for an existing database
Update model package and use model classes according to naming convention
We now use the latest version of the model package and updated all schemas accordingly
Add local log folder instead of using the system log
All logs files are now stored at the log/app.log file and not the syslog
Handle CORS headers on OpenAPI export
The OpenAPI export endpoint handles now also the CORS headers correctly
Add currency to system about
The system about API response contains also the configured currency
Increase Psalm level
We have increased the psalm level from 4 to 3 on our complete fusio/impl code base

Have fun with this release and please feel free to provide any feedback either on Github or at our Forum.

Best regards
Christoph

Fusio 3.3 released

2022-10-13T13:18:00Z

We like to announce version 3.3 of Fusio. This release contains some great changes regarding code generation and our SDKs. The following post covers all important changes of this release:

Updated developer app to latest sdk version
The developer app now uses the latest version of our Angular SDK which you can also use to build an Angular App based on Fusio. It provides already many services and components to handle user registration and app management. Please take a look at the developer app to see how you can integrate the SDK
Fix link of the default developer portal content #474
We have fixed the links of the default content from the developer app
Add metadata property to important models and remove fusio_user_attributes config #470
We have removed the fusio_user_attributes config and added a general "metadata" concept to important models of Fusio. This means i.e. if you create a user, app or route via API you can attach additional metadata to this entity, like a reference id from the remote system which has issued the request. This should help to better integrate Fusio programmatically into your system
Record period start/end date of subscriptions to get a list of active plans for a user
Our transaction table now also logs the start and end date of a subscription period. Through this we can now also return all active subscriptions for a user
Add option to configure a return url for the payment portal
It is now possible to configure a return url for the payment portal in case it is not possible to globally configure such an url
Include plan scopes in user account response
It is possible to assign scopes at a plan, a user then receives those scopes if the plan is assigned to the user. The account response now also contains those scopes obtained through a plan
Add generate SDK command
We have added a new command which helps to automatically generate the sdk by simply using the command php bin/fusio generate:sdk.
Add generate model command
We have added a new command which generates models based on a TypeSchema specification. The file must be located at resources/typeschema.json and all models are automatically generated at src/Model
Add generate table command
The generate table command generates all table classes for the tables which you have defined in your migration file. All tables classes are generated at src/Table

Have fun with this release and please feel free to provide any feedback either on Github or at our Forum.

Best regards
Christoph

Fusio 3.2 released

2022-08-07T20:40:00Z

We like to announce version 3.2 of Fusio. The biggest change of this release is the rewrite of our backend from AngularJS to Angular 13. The following post covers all important changes of this release:

Update backend app to Angular
We have made a complete rewrite of our old AngularJS application to Angular 13, with this we now also use our automatically generated SDK. This has greatly increased the code quality of our app and should provide a stable base for the future
Add connection inspection
It is now possible to inspect a connection. This means for database connections it is now possible to see all tables and the structure. In the future it is also possible to add such a connection to other connection types
Add SqlEntity generator provider
We have added a new generator which allows you to create a complete API based on a simple entity definition. This generator also generates the actual tables and creates all routes, actions and schemas. This should greatly help you in case you need to build a simple database CRUD API
Improved sql adapter actions
Since our SqlEntity generator uses our standard SQL Actions we have also improved them so that they now also can handle relations and custom mappings
Marketplace install handle Angular apps
Our marketplace now also handles attachments on a release. I.e. for our Angular app we only want to publish the generated build as app. This is now possible by simply adding such a zip file to your release
Move routes provider to generator namespace
We have moved the routes provider endpoints to the generator namespace and also adjusted all routes and namespaces accordingly. We have also added a separate "Generator" panel to the backend where you can now configure and execute such a Generator
Many small endpoint schema fixes
Since we now use our automatically generated SDK at the backend we have greatly improved our backend schema definitions
Add CORS handling to OAuth2 endpoint
Our OAuth2 endpoint now handels CORS headers correctly
Add util event dispatch action
We have added a new action which simply dispatches an event on our event system. This can be useful if you want to trigger such an event from a third party system

We are really happy with this release and please feel free to provide any feedback either on Github or at our Forum.

Best regards
Christoph

Fusio Backend 2.0 Release Candidate available

2022-07-10T22:12:00Z

We like to announce the first 2.0 release candidate of our new backend app. We have completely rewrote our existing AngularJS based backend to Angular 13. We release this version early so that our users can already start to test and experiment with the new backend. If you have found any bugs or would like to request a new feature please create an issue at our repository.

Note: This release is currently not included in our marketplace since it is a pre-release. To install the app go to the repository and download the latest 2.0.0-RC* version. You then need to copy the content of the dist/fusio folder to your public/apps/fusio folder. Then you also need to run php bin/fusio marketplace:env fusio to replace the env variables at the index.html file.

The backend uses now our automatically generated Javascript SDK. Through this we have a complete type-safe architecture from our backend to the frontend. In Fusio we have a single model repository where we have a TypeSchema definition of all models. Based on this specification we automatically generate all PHP model classes which we use at the backend. Then we use Fusio to automatically generate the client SDK code, please take a look at our Javascript SDK repository for more information. In our Angular 13 backend app we then include the Javascript SDK which then also contains all models. We are currently really happy with Angular as choice for the new backend app and we are looking forward to the final release.

Fusio 3.1 released

2022-06-05T19:33:00Z

We are really happy to announce the release of version 3.1 of Fusio. This release contains mostly improvements to our existing payment system. In the last months we have gathered many experiences and feedback regarding our payment system from many users and integrations which we have supported. Based on this feedback we have revamped our existing payment system which allows our users to create more complex payment models and make Fusio more usable for different use cases. The following list covers the most important changes of this release:

Reworked payment system
As mentioned we have reworked our payment system. We have learned that payment systems are a really complicated topic and many users have complete different use cases. Initially Fusio included a simple payment system which handled recurring payments. To support all those different use cases we would have to extend and rebuild our existing system. Since Fusio is an API management system and not a payment system we came to the conclusion that the best solution is to outsource those tasks to a dedicated payment provider. With Stripe we have found a really great default payment provider which provides many features. In the end all payment provider actions are abstracted through an adapter so if you like you can also implement support for a different provider. Please take a look at our stripe-adapter to get more information how a payment provider works
Added deeper Stripe integration handle now complex pricing models through Stripe
If you create a plan it is now possible to reference an external id. For Stripe this is a price id. If a user purchases such a plan we use the provided price id. The external id can contain all the different modalities which are supported by the payment provider
Removed contract and invoice handling inside Fusio and outsource those to the payment provider
The contract and invoice endpoints are removed from the backend API
Use the Stripe billing portal where a user can manage all subscriptions
We have removed the contract and invoice panel from the developer portal and it is now possible to use the Stripe billing portal to manage all subscriptions
Remove contract and invoice panel from the backend app
We have also removed the contract and invoice panel from the backend app
Added payment provider webhook support where Fusio receives events from the payment provider
Fusio is now able to receive webhook events from the payment provider. The payment adapter needs to process the webhook and tell Fusio whether an invoice was payed or canceled
Added a trash panel to the backend app where user can restore a deleted record
We have now a new panel at the backend which allows you to restore a deleted record. Previously this was only possible through the CLI
Add autoload to src/ folder
Since many users add new custom actions and connections at the src/ folder we have now added the "autoload" config by default
Handle gracefully in case the apps dir does not exist
In case the apps folder does not exist we dont throw any exception
Added SqlBuilder action
We have added by default the SqlBuilder action which allows you to write complex SQL queries using a JSON notation

We are really happy with this release and please let us know if you have any ideas regarding Fusio.

Fusio 3.0 released

2022-04-02T20:00:00Z

We are really happy to announce the release of version 3.0 of Fusio. This release contains may fixes and improvements to Fusio. We like to thank all our users and customers who have greatly shaped Fusio to one of the best and simplest tools to create an API product. The following list covers the most important changes of this release:

PHP 8.0 as minimum requirement
The minimum PHP requirement of Fusio is now PHP 8.0
Updated code base and underling dependencies to PHP 8.0
We have improved our complete code base by making use of new PHP 8.0 features and also updated all dependencies to support PHP 8
Improved handling of social login credentials
The social login credentials are now placed at the settings panel. Through this you can configure a social login provider even if you have no access to the filesystem
Improved cron system
We have improved our cron system so that you now only need to invoke a single command which internally triggers all cronjobs
Removed internal scopes from OpenAPI spec #443
The OpenAPI spec no longer shows all Fusio internal scopes and only the scope which are related to your app
Reset password link in email incorrect #436
We have adjusted the password reset link to the correct url
Notification in case a user runs out of points #427
We now send a mail in case a user runs out of points, you can also configure the threshold at the settings panel
"Entry successful deleted" incorrectly reported #429
The SQLDelete action now returns a proper 404 response in case the entry which you try to delete does not exist
Added an option to deactivate the marketplace
We have added config flag to activate or deactivate the marketplace
Updated docker image which now contains all apps and adapter
We have improved our docker image which now contains by default all apps. Previously we have installed the apps dynamically on start up but this makes it more difficult to run a container in a restricted environment. Now the image contains all apps and the marketplace is deactivated. If you need other apps you need to include them in the image
Include Swagger-UI in developer portal
We have included the Swagger-UI app into the developer portal which makes it more easier for users to explore your API
Updated help in backend app using now our docs.fusio-project.org website
We have migrated all of our documentation to the new docs.fusio-project.org website which is now also embedded into the backend app
Improved file upload handling
We have improved the way how to handle file uploads at an action
Add files directory routes provider and actions
It is now possible to create a REST API based on a folder. This can be helpful in case you want to expose a directory of i.e. CSV files

So we hope that you like this release and we are really happy and excited about the future of Fusio.

Besides all those technical changes we have also greatly improved the content of our YouTube channel and documentation website which should help all users to work with Fusio. All our websites are complete open so please feel free to make any changes in case you have found an error or you want to improve the documentation.
