Dear Lowcoder Community,

First of all, we would like to apologize for any inconvenience caused by the issues present in the previous release. Your experience is our top priority, and when something falls short, it matters to us just as much as it does to you.

The bug was about a frequent re-rendering of the user interface. It looked pretty much like "flickering" on user interaction.
Apps itself or any function was not affected - just the display.

Lowcoder 2.4.9 addresses this issue. We appreciate your patience and understanding while we resolved this matter and thank you for being an active part of our community.

If you face any further issues or have suggestions, feel free to reach out to us through our support channels.
