Authentication and authorization have been improved, and additional branch operations (create, switch, delete, merge) have been added.
Syntax highlighting
Syntax highlighting for SQL and scripts was removed in the very early Apache Hop days.
A new and improved version of this syntax highlighting is now reintroduced in Apache Hop 2.11.0 (As was the case with the original implementation, this isn’t available in Hop Web).
UI improvements

Some fixes in data grids when adding/removing lines using the toolbar

Zoom in/out buttons in the main toolbar have been switched to more logical position

Moving transforms/actions to the left boundary will no longer collapse them

You can no longer move outside of the editable window

Viewport takes up less space on large workflows and pipelines
Various changes

lots of XML Cleanup. Over 70% of all actions and transforms have been cleaned up and no longer use the old hard-coded XML serialization and deserialization.
