Mendix 11.15 – Agentic AI, Developer Productivity and Enterprise Enhancements

Mendix 11.15 expands workflow capabilities by introducing Recurrence for Timer triggers in non-interrupting event sub-processes. Developers can now configure a Timer event to repeat at a specified interval while the main workflow remains active. This brings periodic logic directly into the visual workflow model, eliminating the need for hidden scheduled events or complex microflow loops.

The release also expands Maia’s capabilities through the Agent Editor, allowing developers to create, edit, and iterate on Mendix agents through conversation in Studio Pro. Maia can help refine system prompts and configure agent tools, while also setting up supporting building blocks such as Models, Knowledge Bases, consumed MCP services, and Microflow tools. Developers can even use Maia to create MCP servers through Published MCP service documents.

Key Takeaway: Recurring workflow timers and conversational agent development make process automation and agent creation more visual and efficient.

Mendix 11.15 significantly expands Maia Make capabilities within Studio Pro. Maia can now start and restart applications to test changes, configure security and settings, manage localization, and handle more complex application logic. These capabilities allow developers to delegate more of the implementation and testing work while keeping their focus on higher-value development tasks.

Maia can also store tool call permissions so that approved actions can be allowed automatically without requiring repeated confirmation. In addition, Maia can create and configure task queues and work through tasks step by step, extending its ability to support application development and operational workflows.

Key Takeaway: Maia can take on more development, testing, configuration, and task-management activities with less manual intervention.

Mendix 11.15 introduces the ability for Maia to create skills, helping developers establish reusable instructions that define how Maia should perform specific tasks. Instead of starting each skill from scratch, developers can use Maia to create these reusable instructions and gradually build a more consistent development experience around their preferred ways of working.

The release also introduces Right-Angled (Orthogonal) Flows as a beta feature in the microflow editor. Instead of curved Bezier paths, sequence flows can follow clean orthogonal routes that make activities and decisions easier to align and review. The new routing option reduces visual clutter and improves readability in complex microflows, while developers can switch between standard and orthogonal flows.

Key Takeaway: Reusable Maia skills and orthogonal microflow flows improve consistency, readability, and control across development workflows.

Mendix 11.15 extends History pane support to users working with partial clones. Developers can now use the non-blocking and searchable History pane in partial-clone projects, including its filtering and revision-comparison capabilities. Operations that require selecting a revision, such as creating a branch, continue to use the History dialog for the time being.

The release also improves deployment performance for applications that use many snippets. Previously, each page maintained its own copy of every snippet it used, increasing deployment package size and build time. Snippets are now packaged once and shared across pages, meaning applications that reuse snippets extensively can benefit from faster deployments.

Key Takeaway: History improvements and shared snippet packaging make development workflows and application deployments faster and more efficient.

Mendix 11.15 introduces several updates across platform widgets. Rich Text v5 now supports complex tables, including nested tables, using the actively maintained Tiptap editor engine. Existing content continues to work without migration requirements, providing a stronger foundation for future rich-text enhancements.

The Calendar widget now includes a Year view displaying all twelve months in a single grid, while the Markdown widget adds KaTeX support for mathematical formulas as well as subscript and superscript text. Maps v5 has also been rebuilt to improve reliability, with markers displaying consistently across deployment environments and a foundation designed to support faster future mapping improvements.

Key Takeaway: Updated widgets provide richer content, calendar, mathematical, and mapping capabilities across Mendix applications.

Mendix 11.15 enables Strict Mode by default, strengthening application security by restricting certain client APIs and ensuring data access follows the pages, widgets, microflows, and nanoflows defined in the application model. The capability is production-ready and is designed to make secure application behavior the default while helping reduce unintended data exposure caused by security misconfigurations.

The release also delivers a major upgrade to the PWA Wrapper. Its App Builder has been redesigned to match the Studio Pro interface, including dark mode, with dedicated areas for App Information, Capabilities, Permissions, Signing, and Installation. Additional improvements include debuggable builds, iOS signing without requiring a Mac, expanded offline resource support, improved native behavior, and stronger WebView, native bridge, and startup reliability.

Key Takeaway: Default Strict Mode and an upgraded PWA Wrapper strengthen application security while simplifying mobile application development and deployment.

Mendix 11.15 improves offline application reliability by allowing synchronize unsynchronized objects and synchronize specific objects actions to run safely in the background. Users can continue working while synchronization takes place, while the platform prevents conflicts between synchronization processes and offline data operations. The Synchronize Everything action is not supported for background synchronization.

Marketplace security and component management have also been enhanced. Marketplace components are now scanned for known vulnerabilities every week, with a Scanned label indicating a recent security check. Component owners are notified when vulnerabilities are found, while fixed releases can be marked as security fixes. Developers can also see which Studio Pro versions a component has been tested with and use a Request Update option when a component is not compatible with their Studio Pro version.

Key Takeaway: Safer background synchronization and continuous Marketplace security scanning improve application reliability and component governance.

Mendix 11.15 expands enterprise identity capabilities through improvements to OIDC SSO, SCIM, and LDAP synchronization. OIDC SSO now enables PKCE by default without depending on provider metadata from the well-known endpoint, improving compatibility with identity providers such as Microsoft Entra ID. The administration experience has also been improved, while audience validation strengthens OAuth token validation for secured APIs.

The SCIM module now supports application role assignment during user provisioning and updates, allowing organizations to automatically determine application roles through SCIM attributes. LDAP synchronization has also been improved to better handle user and group name changes and prevent duplicate entries. Together, these enhancements help organizations automate user lifecycle management, strengthen access control, and maintain more reliable directory synchronization.

Key Takeaway: Enhanced OIDC, SCIM, and LDAP capabilities improve enterprise identity management, automated access provisioning, and directory reliability.
