Long-term support (LTS) version: 2.56.6

2.56.0

US Production: May 4, 2023

EU & Canada Production: May 17, 2023

• Added support for translating DevonWay modules into one of eleven different languages (English, Chinese, French, German, Italian, Korean, Polish, Portuguese, Spanish, Thai, and Turkish). Field prompts, workflow tasks, custom button labels and most other on-screen component values can be set up for translation, and the module as a whole can be pre-configured as translatable and then the individual translations defined one at a time or exported and imported all at once. Updating translations in this way requires using the new Translations screen which is available only in the Miramar User Interface. Contact DevonWay Support to enable this feature and specific languages in your area.
• Modified the new print engine to properly display line breaks in large text values on generated PDFs. [Note added May 8, 2023]
• Made several fixes recommended by our static code quality management software.
• Miramar User Interface:
  • Fixed an issue that occurred when Trending searches returned no data.
  • Changed the Miramar User's screen to show only Subscriber Roles that are included in at least one module definition (this matches the behavior of the Classic Users screen).
  • Improved the behavior of search filters on hierarchy searches.
  • Made some improvements to the Process Map display to remove unnecessary time stamps and make the "See More" action more visible.
  • Added support for sorting Users when searching in the Users admin screen.

US Production: June 8, 2023

EU & Canada Production: June 21, 2023

• Made a change to support keyword searching on accented characters (for example "Kraków" or "Saône"). What this means is that you can search with or without (for example "Krakow" or "Saone") the accented character and find results entered with or without accented characters. Note that you will need to re-feed the objects in question in order for them to be found by searching with these accented terms.
• In order to better preserve server resources, instituted a limit on spreadsheets included in search notifications to 1GB in size.
• Made several fixes recommended by our static code quality management software.
• Miramar User Interface:
  • Added support for User-level IP restrictions (introduced in the previous release in Classic) to the Miramar Users screen.

• Build: 2.56.2.0-771 (7427cfc98)

• Made several fixes recommended by our static code quality management software.
• Miramar User Interface:

• Administrators / Module Developers:
  • Increased the length of the "Password" field on the Outgoing Web Services screen.

• Made several fixes recommended by our static code quality management software, including updating several back-end components to newer versions to apply security patches and other fixes.

• Fixed a few cases of missing or incorrect translations for multi-language users.
• Fixed a problem with Trending searches that could prevent the Minimium Row Count from working.
• Miramar User Interface:
  • Fixed navigation behavior so that users are returned to the previous record after attempting to navigate to a new record and receiving an error, instead of always being returned to the Home screen.
  • Adjusted the error behavior when a user's dashboard loads a shared report they don't have access to, so that the error won't pop-up every time.

• Fixed an issue with numeric masks in the Classic UI which led to "NaN" being reported as the value in certain cases.
• Build: 2.56.4.1-781 (76ea2ebec)

2.56.5

US Production: August 10, 2023

EU & Canada Production: August 23, 2023

When importing modules, you can verify that the checksum displayed on the Import Modules admin screen (after uploading a module file) matches the checksum in the source area. The checksums match only if the file has not been modified.
  • Enhanced the translate() DXL function to execute the same translation logic as used everywhere else, applying some recent changes such as falling back to English if no translation exists and looking at both subscriber and platform level translations.
