OFS Release Notes - March 2026 - v26.3

OFS Version 26.3 is here, delivering our most significant platform modernisation to date — a faster, more secure foundation built for what comes next.

This release focuses on three areas: a ground-up rebuild of the platform's core for speed, security and reliability; opening the Mayvn Form Assistant to single sign-on teams; and a new framework that prepares OFS to support more languages, more quickly.

Behind the scenes, v26.3 is the largest modernisation in OFS history. We have retired more than a million lines of legacy code and replaced the platform's ageing application layer with a purpose-built, high-performance core.

You won't see this change directly — and that's the point. By stripping out years of accumulated complexity, we have made OFS quicker to load, snappier to navigate and simpler to secure — so the features you rely on stay dependable, and new ones reach you sooner.

The Mayvn Form Assistant helps you build, validate and publish Flow forms through natural-language conversation, instead of starting from a blank screen.

In v26.3, we have made the Form Assistant available to teams who sign in through single sign-on — previously, an SSO session could be turned away before it reached the assistant. Now your SSO users can put Mayvn to work building forms like everyone else — no separate login, no workaround.

We have also taught the assistant to hold the thread of a conversation: it now keeps the full context of your session as you refine a form — so you're no longer repeating yourself because it lost track.

As OFS grows across more countries, teams need the interface in their own language — and a longer translation shouldn't break the screen they work on every day.

We have rebuilt the core of how OFS handles translations into a single, unified engine, with more of the platform moving onto it — and translations now load instantly from cached files instead of being fetched on every page, taking a heavy, repetitive load off the system.

We have also hardened the interface for longer translations: text in tables, charts, menus and navigation now wraps or shortens gracefully, with the full text on hover — so a more verbose language no longer breaks your layout. This release lays the framework; you'll see more languages roll onto it in the releases ahead. If you'd like to discuss language availability for your sites, reach out to your OFS contacts.

Job Progress — choose Units In or Units Out. Production planners can now toggle the Job Progress widget on the Live Dashboard to show either Units In or Units Out — so you're always watching the number that matches your workflow, and you avoid stopping a line earlier than you need to. This was one of the most highly requested changes from the floor.

Trigger Time on forms and reports. When an alert is triggered at a different time from when its form was created, OFS now shows the trigger time in the Flow app and on exported PDF forms, and adds a Trigger Time column to the Flow Manager report — so you can see exactly when a condition was met, not just when the record was raised.

Instant, on-device PDF reports. Exporting a Flow form or report to PDF now happens straight away on your device rather than waiting on the server — and embedded Picture in Form images come along with it, so complete form data is ready to share in a moment.

Direct-to-context order counts. External systems can now report production counts against a specific production order directly, rather than against whichever job happens to be running on the line — so counts from downstream equipment land on the right order even after it has finished, and your production data stays accurate without manual reconciliation.

Polish & Fixes

• Analytics — event transforms. The event generator no longer crashes when a transition is set up with a negative units value — it now handles the misconfiguration safely.
• Mayvn — assistant panel. You can now drag the Form Assistant panel down to its full height, so more of your conversation is in view at once.
• Navigation — home. Home buttons now take you to the refreshed, sign-on-aware service menu.
• Flow Manager — PDF exports. Resolved two cases where exporting certain reports to PDF could fail.

This release is mostly foundations. Beneath the surface, we have:

• Retired a large, ageing layer of the platform and replaced it with a purpose-built, high-performance core.
• Completed a broad round of platform upgrades to keep OFS current and well-supported.
• Modernised how our reporting service is packaged and deployed, for more consistent, reliable releases.
• Introduced a new automated build-and-deployment pipeline, and made upgrades zero-touch — your site-specific configuration is now intelligently preserved or replaced during an upgrade, with no manual intervention required.
• Laid more of the foundation for global single sign-on. If you already use our existing SSO, nothing changes — it continues to work as before.
• Tightened server permissions and updated underlying components to address known security issues.

ℹ️ Known issues

• More languages are on the way. v26.3 delivers the translation framework, not the full set of language packs — some interface text may still appear in English until further language rollouts land.

These changes require no action on your part.

If your OFS software is hosted by OFS, these changes will be made available to you automatically.

Single sign-on is enabled on request, per organisation — if you'd like to explore it, reach out to support@ofsystems.com.

If you are hosting OFS on your own server or infrastructure, please reach out to support@ofsystems.com to schedule your upgrade. Because v26.3 is a substantial modernisation — including updated operating-system requirements — we recommend coordinating the timing with our support team.

OFS has a range of exciting things on the way, including more languages rolling onto the new translation framework and bringing single sign-on and the Mayvn assistant to more teams. If you have feedback on this release or ideas for the future, we would love to hear from you — reach out to your OFS contacts or support team.
