Release notes

v1.9.0

Release date: December 11, 2024

Bug fixes

• The Python Scope froze when no .NET Desktop Runtime was installed on the machine. The Python Scope now requires .NET 6 Desktop Runtime or a newer version installed, while previously it needed .NET 6 Desktop Runtime specifically. Moreover, for this scenario we now display a more accurate error message.

v1.8.2

Release date: September 26, 2024

Bug fixes

• Fixed the signature of embedded binary files.

v1.4.1

Release date: August 25, 2021

Improvements

The Python activity package is now compatible with .NET 5 Windows.

The Python Scope activity now includes a Timeout property, allowing users to choose how long to allow a Python script to run until it is terminated and an exception is thrown.

Known Issues

The Run Python is not available when using Python 3.3 on .NET 4.6.1 (both x64 and x86).

v1.3.0

Release date: January 13, 2021

Improvements

We now support Python up to version 3.9. Starting with Python 3.5 upwards, there's no need to manually select the version in the Python Scope activity, as it is able to figure out the version on its own.

Also, as you may notice from the name of the version, we have switched to semantic versioning for the Python activity package.

Added support for Unicode characters.

We understood your need for supporting machine learning models, so we have improved the Python activity package, adding support for Python x64.

The moment is finally here - the entire UiPath Platform has been localized, so that you can have a truly immersive experience, from install to design and execution. Now, besides English, you can access everything, including our online documentation, in Japanese.
