What’s new

ROBIN Studio

Improvements

  • We added the ability to undo and redo actions related to cutting actions in the scheme.
  • The functionality of the «Actions» panel (on the left) has been optimised. The scrolling issue in the Action Groups panel has been resolved, and colored icons have been added to indicate groups, making visual navigation through the list easier.
  • The launch of the Robin Studio application was accelerated.

Corrections:

  • We corrected the behavior where modal windows (variable filling tools, expression builder, etc.) were displaying in full-screen mode.
  • Fixed an issue with setting breakpoints in the scheme, where it triggered on all actions with the same name, not just the one where the breakpoint was set.
  • Fixed an error in the Python engine where values may not be updated when working in loops and overwriting variables, affecting values accessed by other engines.
  • Fixed several errors related to copying and pasting actions, ensuring actions are inserted in the correct order and maintain references to variables and action results in the parameters.

ROBIN Player

  • Robot execution has been stabilized. Errors that were causing abnormal terminations, especially when multiple robots were running simultaneously, have been fixed.
  • Several issues with scheduling robots have been addressed. The problem of robots being launched with the «Stop the running robot if the task is already running» option set has been resolved.

Attention!

In Windows 8.1, the ROBIN Agent component service (in the «For all users» installation option) may not start automatically. In this case, you should change the startup type to «Automatic (delayed)» in the service settings. The agent will automatically start a few minutes after the system reboot and user login.

Action Group «Excel»

  • The action «Get cell value» has been improved to fix an issue that caused the robot to occasionally crash while executing this action.

Action Group «Robin AI»

New text classification tools have been added:

  • the «Train classification model» action allows you to train a classification model using existing texts.
  • the «Classify text» action enables determining the probability of the given text belonging to one of the known categories or classes. It returns a dictionary with class names as keys and their corresponding percentage of occurrence as values.

Improved action «Extract Addresses»:

  • the address recognition model has been enhanced to combine addresses regardless of the order of address elements.
  • added a parameter «Without address element» that allows disabling the inclusion of address type names such as «city,» «street,» etc.
  • expanded the number of recognizable address element types, and for some of them, added processing options when the type follows the value, for example, «Sovetsky district,» «Krasnoyarsk Krai».

Action Group «Basic Actions»

  • The .NET version of the «Try Catch» action has been improved. The behavior when the «catch» block is empty has been changed. Now the action won’t return an error if error handling is missing, and any error from the selected category will be simply ignored.

Action Group «PDF»

  • Added a new action «Extract Table» that allows extracting tables from a PDF document. The extracted table can be further processed as a table by other actions.
  • To work with multi-page tables, it is necessary to specify a page range. If only the starting page is provided, the table will be extracted from that page only.

Action Group «Collections»

  • The .NET version of the «Delete Item» action has been improved to fix the behavior where it was not possible to delete an element when specifying the element’s value.

Action Group «Browsers»

  • Optimized the logging for the «Open Browser» action, removing unnecessary logs that appeared during action execution. Now, detailed logs are displayed only when the action’s logging mode is set to «Debug» (default is «Error»).

Action Group «Dialog boxes»

  • The «Input Form» action has been improved to fix an issue where the action could only be used once during the robot’s runtime.
  • The .NET version of the «Message» action has been improved to fix an issue that occurred when used in conjunction with the «Start robot» and «Stop robot» actions. Previously, when a message was present in the started robot, the «Stop robot» action would stop the main robot instead of the one specified in the action’s parameters.

Action Group «Windows»

  • The performance of all actions in this group has been optimized, and in some cases, the speed of execution has been increased.
  • The «Type text» action has been improved to fix an issue that could occur when the «Character-by-character input» option was enabled.

Action Group «Mail»

  • The Java version of the «Send message» action has been improved. Now, depending on the presence of HTML markup in the email body, the email format property will be set differently, ensuring that line breaks won’t be lost when sending emails without HTML markup.
  • The Java version of the «Get message» action has been improved by adding a column to the result table to record the date of message receipt. Now, it is possible to sort the table based on the date of receiving emails.
