Happy Friday! 🍁

Here's a recap of what we shipped this week:

Improved JavaScript SDK

We shipped JavaScript SDK v1.5.6 this week with various improvements:

• Added support for running multiple workflows in a single test run
• Added support for automatic version increments. You no longer need to pass --revision when running the tests every time.
• Added command line option --workflow to let users limit the test run to a single workflow.
• Added support for configuration profiles (if you don't like setting TOUCA_API_KEY and TOUCA_API_URL as environment variables, you can now set them in the Touca configuration file (using Touca Python CLI e.g. touca config set api-key=<your-api-key>) and they will automatically be applied when running the test.
• Disabled default generation of archive files (now you need to pass --save-as-binary if you want to store test results as local binary files)
• Updated default output directory (instead of ./results, JSON and binary files are now stored in ~/.touca/results by default)
• Switched SDK build system from Lerna to npm workspaces
• Improved standard output of tests
• Dropped support for Node v12
• Updated dependencies

Shout-out to our new community member, Ross Hunter (@rossh87), for inspiring some of these improvements. They also made their first contribution to Touca today, switching the SDK build system from Lerna to npm workspaces. 🎉

Improved getting started documentation

We used to have separate quick start guides for each SDK. This week, we consolidated these documents into a single quick start guide, rewriting everything to keep things concise and easy to follow.

Other fixes and improvements

• Server: Fix race condition in the message ingestion logic
