Yes, parts of this behavior were addressed in later 1.8.x and 2.x releases, but not all connection‑listing issues are explicitly documented as fully resolved. What we know from the sources: - The
“refresh in UI causing error” problem (which also broke OAuth flows) was fixed in
1.8.3 and backported to
1.7.6. [[1.8 patch notes](
https://docs.airbyte.com/release_notes/v-1.8#patch-releases); [Refresh issue 65070](
https://github.com/airbytehq/airbyte/issues/65070)] - The
“client ID / client secret not showing” regression (issue 66675, recurring in 1.8.5) was fixed in
2.0.0. [[2.0 fixes](
https://docs.airbyte.com/release_notes/v-2.0#fixes)] - A user who saw the “no connections” onboarding screen with 400+ connections on
1.8.3 resolved it by
increasing their load balancer (ALB) idle timeout, implying that at least some “empty connections page” cases are due to timeouts rather than a persistent product bug. [[Frontend connections issue](
https://github.com/airbytehq/airbyte/issues/65131)] However: - The specific issue you’re seeing—connections existing in the DB but the UI showing the onboarding “create your first connection” page after upgrading from 1.6.x to 1.8.0—is tracked in open issues for 1.8.0/1.8.3, and the knowledge sources do
not state that this exact bug was definitively patched in a later 1.8.x release. [[Helm 1.8.0 issue](
https://github.com/airbytehq/airbyte/issues/65096); [Frontend connections issue](
https://github.com/airbytehq/airbyte/issues/65131)] So, based on the available information: - Some related UI problems (refresh errors, OAuth, secrets visibility)
were patched in later releases (1.8.3 and 2.0.0). - For the
“connections not visible / onboarding page” symptom, the docs and issues only show: - A timeout/config workaround (increase LB idle timeout). [[Frontend connections issue](
https://github.com/airbytehq/airbyte/issues/65131)] - No explicit statement that a specific later version fully fixes the underlying connections‑listing bug. If you can, I’d recommend: 1. Testing with
1.8.3 or later and 2. Ensuring any load balancer / reverse proxy in front of Airbyte has a sufficiently high idle/HTTP timeout. But I can’t point to a release note that clearly says “the missing connections / onboarding page issue from 1.8.0 is fixed in version X,” because that’s not present in the knowledge sources.
