The Insights query tool gained three new datasources, an AI assistant, and a Schema Explorer in early May.
Insights grew into a full observability surface. Function runs, individual steps, and extended trace spans are now queryable datasources. Insights AI lets you write queries from plain-English descriptions; the Schema Explorer sidebar shows available tables and event schemas alongside.1
The server's v1.20–1.22 run addressed Connect reliability and operational gaps. Connect workers no longer disconnect on transient gateway errors — heartbeats were split into a high-priority goroutine to keep the connection alive.2 A long-standing function-orphaning bug on app re-sync after upgrades from pre-v1.15 is fixed: legacy URL-keyed app rows are adopted in place on first re-sync.3 Batch partitioning is now workspace-scoped. The CLI gained an automatic update notifier (suppressed in CI via DO_NOT_TRACK).4 v1.20 also shipped an alpha agentic API CLI (npx inngest-cli@latest alpha api) that wraps the full V2 REST API surface.5
The TypeScript SDK adopted the Temporal API natively. step.sleep(), step.waitForEvent(), step.waitForSignal(), step.invoke(), and cancelOn timeouts all accept Temporal.Duration, Temporal.Instant, and Temporal.ZonedDateTime as of v4.3.0.6 v4.4.0 added experimental support for deferred functions.7
TypeScript SDK v4 ships with realtime built in. Channels, topics, and the useRealtime React hook are part of the core package; the legacy @inngest/realtime package is deprecated.8 A timing-attack vector in HMAC signature verification was patched in v4.2.5 and backported to v3.54.1 (CVE-2026-42047); v4.2.6 tightened introspection responses to reduce information leakage.9
