## Features

- **Built-in web server.** API Maker serves HTTPS on its own, with free certificates that renew themselves, so you no longer need Caddy or Nginx. [Built-in web server →](https://docs.apimaker.dev/v4/docs/features/built-in-web-server.html)
- **Health Check AI Reporting.** AI reads your Analytics on a schedule and mails you what is wrong and how to fix it. [Health Check AI Reporting →](https://docs.apimaker.dev/v4/docs/features/ai-reporting.html)
- **Guided tour.** A step-by-step tour on the real pages takes you to your first working API. [The guided tour →](https://docs.apimaker.dev/v4/docs/getting-started/admin-panel.html#the-guided-tour)
- **Outgoing Email (SMTP).** Mail servers have their own page, and every admin can add their own. [Outgoing Email →](https://docs.apimaker.dev/v4/docs/features/outgoing-email.html)
- **Analytics shows more.** See all admins side by side, who is connected by WebSocket, and where each server's memory goes. [Analytics →](https://docs.apimaker.dev/v4/docs/logs/logs-and-dashboards.html#analytics)
- **Sample data in Launchpad.** Fill a new database with a well-known sample, like Sakila or Northwind, and start playing right away. [Add a database →](https://docs.apimaker.dev/v4/docs/getting-started/local-run.html#add-a-database)

## Improvements

- **Restarts drop no requests.** Restarting or deploying a new version no longer loses a single request.
- **Faster `g.sys` calls.** `getSecret` is about 5 times faster, and encrypt, decrypt and hash are twice as fast.
- **New Swagger UI, valid OpenAPI.** Swagger docs now use Swagger UI 5.34 and give valid OpenAPI 3.0. [Swagger docs →](https://docs.apimaker.dev/v4/docs/features/developer-tools.html#swagger-docs-per-api-user)
- **Faster databases on installer servers.** MongoDB and Redis now talk to API Maker straight, without Docker in between.
- **Lighter databases in Launchpad.** Launchpad stopped running health checks all the time, which saves a lot of CPU on small servers.
- **Better Launchpad terminal.** Search the output, save quick commands and change the text size, and big output no longer freezes it.
- **Oracle just works in Launchpad.** Launchpad installs the Oracle Instant Client for you.
- **Launchpad sees panel upgrades.** Upgrade from the admin panel and Launchpad picks up the new version by itself.
- **Better docs.** A short learning path, a one-page cheat sheet, and code shown in just your language. [Docs for AI →](https://docs.apimaker.dev/v4/docs/ai/llms.html#one-language)

## Bug fixes

- **Oracle databases from Launchpad reach API Maker.** In Local mode they showed success but never arrived, and now they do.
- **Re-created databases start.** On Mac and Windows, a database removed and made again in the same place now starts.
- **Idle database connections close.** They now close after 10 minutes instead of staying open until a restart.
- **Index Maker scripts work everywhere.** With masked database names, scripts now run on every environment. [Masked database names →](https://docs.apimaker.dev/v4/docs/features/team-work.html#mask-database-names)
- **Right shortcut in the Run tooltip.** Test Cases now shows ⌘E on Mac and Ctrl+E elsewhere.

## Security fixes

- **Servers from v3 get their own MongoDB key.** Each one gets a random key at its next restart from Launchpad, so restart them soon.
- **Swagger docs no longer talk to swagger.io.** Your Swagger token is not sent out any more, but make a new one if you opened the docs from a public address. [Swagger docs →](https://docs.apimaker.dev/v4/docs/features/developer-tools.html#swagger-docs-per-api-user)
- **Stream answers hide their meta.** Callers no longer see the call time and access groups, only the admin panel does.
