Release 36 Relationship Tab Indicators in Release Notes: First Listed, Then Removed - What is Aras Up To?
Hi community,
We are at a point in the community where Aras cannot do anything without it being noticed. Even when they try to keep things secret, it’s usually already too late!
Either it was an accident, or it was a "planned leak" of new features - similar to how Apple handles the iPhone [emoticon:98f842990f454422aa6a04953955f9d9]- done just for the fun of seeing if anyone notices and to generate a bit of marketing buzz.
Has anyone of you studied the lastest release notes? A few weeks ago Release 36 was released. In general it contains:
1. A much more modern version of this one: https://github.com/ArasLabs/my-recent-items
2. A fix for this one: link
3. And some other quality of live improvements.
BUT: The first version of the release notes also mentioned this additional feature:
This sounds like this feature:
The first idea was discussed years ago in a Github discussion and Eli helped to get the first draft working: https://github.com/ArasLabs/set-tab-color/issues/1
But it seems like the Release 36 were updated last week. The new additional relationship feature was now removed.

All jokes aside, I assume the topic was accidentally listed in the release notes. No big deal - it wasn´t even mentioned on the roadmap. Back then in Innovator 11, it wasn´t possible to implement something like this in a meaningful way in the standard product. I didn’t even expect it to show up anytime soon.
But: Is this something that Aras is currently actively working on? I am super curious to see how they´ll solve this on a technical level! This is definitely a feature to look forward to. People will love it!
Does anyone know more?
Hi Angela! Unfortunately, the answer isn't as exciting as a clever marketing scheme - it was simply human error while creating the release notes for R36. [emoticon:c4563cd7d5574777a71c318021cbbcc8] The relationship tab enhancement was initially planned for R36, but the team decided to hold the feature for further review. It should be available in November's R37 release.
