Activepieces is still hotfixing worker stability, now on a fourth version line.

workflow automationhotfixesworker reliabilityself-hostedrelease management
◆Current state
Activepieces maintains several release lines at once (0.87, 0.88, 0.90 and now 0.91), and most recent releases are hotfixes to the worker. The latest, 0.91.4, raises the worker lock duration and fixes retry purging from a failed step, aimed at runs stuck in the queue under concurrency. Feature work such as flow approvals, a telemetry toggle and step form improvements landed in the 0.90.4 build marked unstable.
◆Where it's heading
The pattern is fix, revert, re-fix: an OAuth2 connection fix was reverted, piece cache prewarm was disabled, and a hotfix suffix broke piece filtering and forced a renumber. Worker reliability on self-hosted deployments is absorbing the release effort, while new capability accumulates on the unstable line.
◆Prediction
More worker-side hotfixes on 0.91 are likely before the line settles. When features such as flow approvals reach a release not marked unstable is not clear from the entries.

    0.91.4 hotfix: worker lock duration and failed-step retry fix

    A cherry-picked hotfix on the 0.91 line: a longer worker lock duration and a fix to retry purging from a failed step, for a self-hosted deployment hitting stuck-queued runs under concurrency. It extends the worker-stability hotfix pattern to a fourth version line.

    ActivePieces: version numbering fix for 0.87.x

    A semver numbering fix: the -hotfix suffix caused 0.87.1-hotfix.6 to sort below 0.87.1, hiding 326 of 764 pieces from the piece registry filter. Renumbering to 0.87.2 restores correct sort order. This is operational cleanup to fix an invisible regression from the hotfix naming convention.

    0.87.1-hotfix.6

    CI pipeline fix to accept release tags with suffixes like -hotfix in package.json. Infrastructure-only change with no user-visible effect.

    0.88.4-hotfix.3

    0.88.4-hotfix.3 disables piece cache prewarm (a regression from hotfix.1) and reverts the OAuth2 connection fix that was also reverted in hotfix.2. The sequence of reverts signals that both changes introduced regressions worse than the original bugs.

    0.90.4 ( Unstable )

    The 0.90.4 unstable release includes improvements to the Custom API Call and Google Sheets step forms (with Claude-assisted development), a fix for handled errors logging as 500 in the log store, and a Stripe trigger bug fix. The piece form improvements make custom integrations easier to configure, though the unstable tag limits immediate adoption.

    0.88.4-hotfix.2

    0.88.4-hotfix.2 reverts the OAuth2 connection fix from hotfix.1 after it caused regressions. A straight revert with no new capabilities.
