Cycle 2.26.1

Released 2026-04-15.

New features​

File System Step Plugin​

File system operations are now delivered as a dedicated step plugin rather than being built directly into the Cycle Engine. This change decouples file system steps from core engine code, making the platform easier to extend and maintain going forward.

  • All 20 file system steps (create, copy, move, delete, rename, verify, append, and directory operations) are now bundled as a standalone File System plugin shipped with Cycle.
  • Steps behave identically to their previous engine-hosted counterparts.
  • The plugin follows the simplified plugin architecture introduced in Cycle 2.26.

Standardized New Project Structure​

New Cycle projects created through any tooling (CLI, Electron, and others) now follow a consistent, standard directory structure aligned with the Cycle library baseline.

  • New projects now include the following pre-created folders: Batches, Output, Performance Files, and Test Case Validations.

Removed​

  • The Datasets folder has been removed from the project root; dataset files belong under Scripts.
