v3.7.11 – Security, Identity & Automation Enhancements Across Blocks Cloud

cloudFebruary 15, 2026

Release Notes​

This release strengthens Blocks Cloud with secure Magic Links, OIDC-based SSO via Blocks IDP, enhanced Selise AI chatbot integration, improved localization change detection, AWS S3–compatible storage support, and a redesigned environment and user management experience.

Together, these updates improve automation, governance, flexibility, and AI-driven workflows across the SELISE Blocks ecosystem.

Utilities - Secure Redirects & Backend Action Triggers​

Blocks Cloud now introduces Magic Links, enabling teams to generate secure, time-limited URLs for streamlined user flows and automated backend actions.

Magic Links are designed for flexibility and control, supporting configurable usage limits, expiration dates, authentication scopes, and environment-specific base URLs.

Redirect Magic Links Generate shortened URLs that securely redirect users to a configured destination while maintaining authentication context. Ideal for passwordless login, invitations, and guided user journeys.

Action Magic Links Trigger predefined backend HTTP requests (GET or POST) when accessed. These links execute actions such as email verification, workflow triggers, or system events—without requiring user redirection.

Key Capabilities

  • Configurable usage limits
  • Optional automatic expiration
  • Scoped access via client credentials
  • Support for custom headers, payloads, and query parameters (Action type)
  • Customizable short URL base configuration
  • Centralized dashboard for viewing, filtering, and managing links

Magic Links provide a secure and extensible mechanism for handling authentication flows, event-driven automation, and controlled access patterns across environments.

Identity - OIDC​

🔐 OpenID Connect (OIDC) Support for Blocks IDP​

This release adds OpenID Connect (OIDC) support, enabling applications to use Blocks Identity Provider (IDP) as a standards-compliant Single Sign-On (SSO) solution.

Applications can now integrate with Blocks IDP using the Authorization Code flow, allowing secure user authentication while delegating identity management to the Blocks platform. Once configured, the application becomes available as an SSO provider for Blocks Construct deployments, enabling a consistent login experience across environments.

Key benefits include:

  • Centralized authentication through Blocks IDP
  • Secure, industry-standard OIDC authorization flow
  • Seamless SSO availability across Blocks-based deployments
  • Reduced need for custom authentication logic in applications

This enhancement strengthens identity integration within the SELISE Blocks ecosystem and provides a scalable foundation for SSO-enabled applications.

Localization​

A new endpoint is now available to help determine whether localization content has changed, without requiring a full language file download. This allows applications to efficiently detect when an update is necessary by checking the publication history of language resources.

New endpoint: /Key/GetLanguageFileGenerationHistory Detailed specifications are available in the API documentation Swagger.

The endpoint returns versioned metadata for published language files, including creation time and project context, enabling lightweight change detection.

Newly Supported Languages​

  • Bengali (Sylheti)
  • Bengali (Chittagonian)

This update improves localization efficiency while expanding language coverage for regional variants.

Selise AI – Blocks Cloud Chatbot Integration​

Selise AI continues to evolve as a unified conversational interface.

Previously, users could interact with multiple large language models (LLMs) within a single GPT-style experience. With this release, Selise AI now supports direct interaction with chatbots configured on Blocks Cloud.

This enhancement allows users to connect to chatbots powered by the Blocks RAG architecture, leveraging:

  • Dedicated knowledge bases
  • Custom tunings and configurations
  • Context-aware retrieval
  • Enterprise-ready deployment controls

By integrating Blocks Cloud chatbots into Selise AI, organizations can move beyond general-purpose LLM conversations and interact with domain-specific, retrieval-augmented assistants tailored to their own data and business logic.

This update strengthens the bridge between conversational AI and the broader **SELISE Blocks ecosystem, enabling more intelligent, contextual, and controlled AI experiences.

UDS – AWS-Compatible Object Storage Support​

UDS (formerly Data Gateway) now supports AWS S3–compatible object storage, enabling integration with alternatives such as MinIO.

This enhancement allows organizations to use self-hosted or third-party S3-compatible storage solutions while maintaining compatibility with existing AWS-style APIs. It provides greater flexibility in storage architecture, supports hybrid and on-prem deployments, and reduces dependency on a single cloud provider.

Blocks Cloud​

A new dedicated section has been introduced for navigating Environments, Project Settings, and People Management, creating a more structured and intuitive user experience.

This update streamlines navigation across environments and improves visibility and control over user access. Teams can now:

  • Invite users to multiple environments
  • Clearly see who has access to each environment
  • View and manage user profiles
  • Manage project-level settings from a centralized location
