Long-term support (LTS) version: 2.54.3

2.54.0

US Production: August 25, 2022

EU & Canada Production: September 14, 2022

• For subscribers using the newer print engine released in 2.51, made changes to ensure that Table of Contents pages can now span multiple pages (and are not cutoff after one page).
• Modified reference-data hierarchical searches to present results as being expandable only if expanding them would yield results. (Previously, a result could appear to be expandable when its child records were ultimately filtered out by module-specific search criteria.)
• Miramar User Interface:
  • Made some improvements to the recently added feature that lets module developers configure modules to require re-authentication (by providing username and password) when users complete certain workflow events.
  • Refined the Workflow History view with a few minor changes that make it easier to understand, such as eliminating some possible redundancies and grouping reassignments.
  • Continued to make additional improvements to editing, saving, and submitting objects returned by searches directly from the search screen (this requires setting a feature flag to use).
  • Implemented several fixes to various administrative screens, which are still not available (except by setting a feature flag).
  • Eliminated unnecessary validation when displaying thumbnail images of uploaded file attachments, ensuring that the image appears as expected.
• Administrators / Module Developers:
  • Added missing and recently created columns to subscriber Person (vAPP_Person) and Module (vAPP_Module) views (where "APP" represents the subscriber company code). To generate updated versions of these views in your area, login as a user with adminstrator access and click [Generate Subscriber Views] on the Preferences admin screen.
  • Enhanced the Users API to provide additional data and options.
• Build: 2.54.0.0-508 (49c64b1cb)

2.54.1

US Production: September 15, 2022

EU & Canada Production: September 28, 2022

• For subscribers using the newer print engine, fixed some issues caused by line breaks in large character fields and cells that are conditionally invisible.
• Fixed an issue with viewing Validations on the Cross-Module Functions screen when the Validations involve disabled modules.
• Improved the generation of notification e-mails when the Title common field is unmapped.
• Resolved an issue that sometimes required signing on again when opening Designer from the Classic UI.
• Improved the Workbook History view so that we more consistently capture the person who disposed of a workbook event.
• Made several back-end changes to improve stability and security.
• Miramar User Interface:
  • Added support for field-level attachments. Supported fields can be defined in ModuleBuilder, after which the names of attachments added through the icon on those fields will display next to the field and be associated with that field in the Attachments Grid.
  • Improved the organization of the selectable options in the "Create New" dialog.
  • Continued to make additional improvements to editing, saving, and submitting objects returned by searches directly from the search screen (this requires setting a feature flag to use).
  • Implemented several fixes to various administrative screens, which are still not available (except by setting a feature flag).
• Build: 2.54.1.0-518 (15ad26dda)

EU & Canada Production: October 12, 2022

• Resolved an issue with printing large character fields that spanned multiple pages.

• Made the Session Timeout value in the Preferences screen non-modifiable. If you need to change this value, contact DevonWay Support.
• Resolved an issue with the link in the e-mail that's generated when a user prints search results.

• Miramar User Interface:
  • Added support for field-level attachments on child-level fields.
  • Added support for annotating attachments in Miramar.

  • Made several improvements to the Status Card and Priority/Severity displays on Miramar Workflow layouts.
  • Made some fixes to the delete functionality when using multi-select grids.
  • Resolved an issue with navigating back to a parent object from the Process Map of newly created objects.

This issue does not affect existing reports, grid results, or any of the new Miramar visualizations. (Note that ad-hoc Jaspersoft BI reports are accessible by clicking [Other] on the popup from search results when selecting the type of Miramar visualization.)
