Autoform DM 9.1 Release Notes

DM Release Version 9.1 

Release date: 27th July 2020

 Notable Changes

 These changes should be considered before upgrading:

• When Upgrading from 9.0 to 9.1 using the silent installer, the installer properties file must now contain the USR_NODE_NAME attribute.

• Search query keys that have default values and are also read-only can no longer be overridden via the REST API (results in a 400 Bad Request).

Security Improvements

The following security enhancements have now been implemented:

• We have updated document access control, allowing full enforcement of search access configuration on all document operations.

• We have added Group management audit events.

• Note definition management audit events have been added.

• ‘Deleted’ (hidden) users can no longer activate evaluation mode.

• We have updated lodash library from 4.13.11 to 4.17.15.

Usability Improvements

The following usability enhancements have now been implemented:

• We have standardised and improved database update logging to make debugging easier.

• The standalone installer now supports the specification of a node name and port offset values, allowing multiple standalone installs on a single machine.

Fixes

The following list contains details of fixes we have implemented since the last release:

• The applications' dropdown wording is now more consistent.

• The search query keys with default values have been fixed for both the frontend and the APIs where:

  • the key is not read-only, the values can be overridden.

  • the key is read-only, the values cannot be overridden.

• The reset button on the Role Manager screen now clears the state correctly.

• We have resolved a visual glitch where icons were misaligned from the text.

• Reduced duplication of document access audit events when using the frontend.

• Resolved an issue preventing SQL application operations from auditing correctly.

• Configuration management can now associate links between groups and users.

• Updating user application access now triggers the correct audit event to be logged.

• We reverted a 9.0 database update that attempted to shorten name fields to 50; we saw examples of customer usages where document definition names exceeded this, so the name width once again stands at 255.
