What's new in Mayan EDMS v0.12.2
|
||||
================================
|
||||
|
||||
Smarter auto admin creation
|
||||
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||||
**Mayan EDMS** creates a administrator user during the
|
||||
database creation phase to reduce the amount of steps required for a
|
||||
functional install. The creation of this account is controlled by the configuration
|
||||
option :setting:`COMMON_AUTO_CREATE_ADMIN`, the username of the account is
|
||||
specified with the configuration option :setting:`COMMON_AUTO_ADMIN_USERNAME`
|
||||
and the password of this account by the option :setting:`COMMON_AUTO_ADMIN_PASSWORD`.
|
||||
Previously the :setting:`COMMON_AUTO_ADMIN_PASSWORD` defaulted to 'admin' which
|
||||
created an administrator account of username 'admin' with a password of
|
||||
'admin'. The new default is to randomize an initial password and show this password
|
||||
at the login screen until the administrator password is changed.

|
||||
Document check outs
|
||||
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||||
|
||||
As per the feature request filed under `issue #26`_, a new document
|
||||
check out and check in functionality has been added. Users can now
|
||||
check out a document and lock new version of it from being uploaded to avoid
|
||||
editing conflicts. Document check outs have an expiration period after which
|
||||
**Mayan EDMS** will automatically check them back in to avoid a permanent
|
||||
document lockout. Only the user who has checked out a document can upload
|
||||
new versions of it or check the document back in before the expiration period,
|
||||
unless being granted the ``Allow overriding check out restrictions`` or
|
||||
``Forcefully check in documents`` permission respectively.
|
||||
|
||||
Installation environment app
|
||||
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||||
Diagnosting remote installations of web based applications without access to the
|
||||
command line can be a bit hard, to alleviate this situation a new installation
|
||||
environment details app has been added. The purpose of this app is to provide
|
||||
support staff information about the physical environment where **Mayan EDMS** has
|
||||
been installed. To avoid possible security compromises only administrators
|
||||
can access this app.
|
||||
|
||||
Editable compressed documents filename
|
||||
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||||
Previously when downloading more than one document in a compressed manner,
|
||||
**Mayan EDMS** would produce a file with the name ``document_bundle.zip`` for
|
||||
download. A different filename can now be specified at the same download dialog.
|
||||
|
||||
German translation
|
||||
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||||
A German language translation has been added thanks to Tetja Rediske
|
||||
and Tilmann Sittig.
