Overview

Workflow Engine 21.1.0 is a maintenance release focused on Web API OpenAPI compatibility, safer HTTP header parsing, Workflow Designer settings and localization fixes, and a broad dependency refresh across Designer packages, samples, and Forms Plugin frontend assets.

Why update

  • Fix Web API request header parsing so header values that contain = are preserved correctly, which is important for bearer tokens, signatures, and Base64-encoded values.
  • Update Web API Swagger/OpenAPI generation to the current Swashbuckle stack and align it with supported ASP.NET Core OpenAPI packages.
  • Fix Workflow Designer settings reset so it removes only Workflow Designer keys instead of clearing the entire browser localStorage.
  • Get current dependency updates across Designer packages and samples, including security-related package upgrades in .NET and frontend components.

Key features

  • Web API OpenAPI generation was updated for Swashbuckle 10 compatibility, including the required generator changes for breaking API changes.
  • HTTP request header parsing now splits only on the first =, so values that embed = are passed through intact.
  • Workflow Designer settings reset now removes only Workflow Designer entries, and the German localization pack was updated.
  • Designer Angular packages and samples were aligned to the Angular 20.3 line to restore a consistent startup and build experience after partial dependency upgrades.

Changelog

Update instructions

  • All packages: update Workflow Engine packages to version 21.1.0.
  • If you use Workflow Engine Web API Swagger or custom OpenAPI generation extensions, review your integration after upgrading because Swashbuckle 10 required generator-level compatibility changes in this release.
  • If you use workflow-designer-angular or the Angular sample, update your package lockfiles and keep the Angular dependency set aligned to the 20.3.x line.
  • No database migration or other package-specific migration steps are required for this release.

Enhancements

  • Web API: updated Swagger/OpenAPI generation for Swashbuckle.AspNetCore 10.0.1 and adapted the implementation to the new generation APIs.
  • Designer packages: aligned Angular dependencies in workflow-designer-angular and workflow-designer-angular-sample from 20.1.7 to the 20.3.x line to restore a consistent startup experience. Dependency refresh by project:

  • Web API: fixed HTTP request header parsing so values that contain = are no longer truncated or corrupted during dictionary parsing.
  • Designer: fixed settings reset so it clears only Workflow Designer keys by prefix instead of deleting the entire browser localStorage.
  • Designer: updated the German localization to correct translation issues in Workflow Designer.

Resources

  • Web API OpenAPI documentation: OpenAPI.
  • Workflow Designer localization guide: Languages.
  • Forms Plugin documentation: Forms.

Security

  • MongoDB-related packages and samples: upgraded SharpCompress from 0.30.1 to 0.48.0, moving archive extraction support beyond the affected range <= 0.47.4 for CVE-2026-44788 and GHSA-6c8g-7p36-r338.
  • MongoDB-related packages and samples: upgraded Snappier from 1.0.0 to 1.3.1 to clear package security warnings and move to a maintained release line associated with the upstream Snappier advisory CVE-2023-28638 and GHSA-838x-pcvx-6p5w.
