# November 6, 2025

Release for 11/6/2025

This is a small update that includes some enhancements and stability improvements.

* Several new workflow enhancements have been added.
  * **Added an "absolute value" function to the "math" workflow node parameter type.** This allows users to use the `abs()` function to take the absolute value of a number, converting for example `-12.13` to `12.13`.
  * **Added the "construct datetime" node parameter type.** This allows users to create datetimes in a particular time zone, from date and time parts.
  * **Added the "construct date" node parameter type.** This allows users to create a date from a string. This is a nice addition to the current "date" node parameter type, which only allows users to select a hard-coded date.
  * **Added the "time" node parameter type.** This allows users to pick a time using a time widget.
  * Added several options related to time: You can now convert a datetime to a time, stripping it of its date. This can be used with the "construct datetime" node parameter type to create a new datetime from this time. You can also compare times.
* Fixed an issue where Middle backend workers could crash due to running out of memory in the following situations
  * when building large files as part of an export file step
  * when saving a lot of records (hundreds) when each record had a lot (hundreds) of foreign keys to other objects
* Fixed a workflow system error that could occur if a Workflow timedelta node parameter was given a null value

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.middle.app/middle-docs/release-notes/november-6-2025.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
