What's new in Mayan EDMS v0.12.3
|
||||
================================
|
||||
|
||||
Django 1.3.3
|
||||
~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||||
This release updates the required version of Django to 1.3.3 to take advantage
|
||||
of the security fixes done to that version of the framework.
|
||||
|
||||
Bulk document tagging and untagging
|
||||
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||||
As requested by issue #`issue #31`_ this feature has been implemented has enabled in this version.
|
||||
Attaching or removing tag from a large number of documents is now much easier.
|
||||
|
||||
Registration
|
||||
~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||||
Based on requests made by the community for greater commercial support and services for
|
||||
**Mayan EDMS**, a new feature has been added that allows users to register their
|
||||
copies of **Mayan EDMS** and better help users with commercial support packages.
|
||||
Registration for non commercial users is voluntary and optional, and in no way
|
||||
affects the functionality of **Mayan EDMS**. Even for non commercial users
|
||||
registration offers the advantage of automatically branding the user's copy
|
||||
of **Mayan EDMS** with their name or the company name in the title area.
|
||||
|
||||
Per document type indexing
|
||||
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||||
**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.
|
||||
Index can now be restricted to update only on specific document types, this
|
||||
greatly increases the usefulness of indexes, and prevents unwanted index
|
||||
updates.

|
||||
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 improvements
|
||||
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||||
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.
|
||||
Bootstrap
|
||||
~~~~~~~~~
|
||||
Setting up **Mayan EDMS** after installation has been indetified by users as the
|
||||
main difficulty when knowledge about **Mayan EDMS** is relatively low. To
|
||||
address this situation a new feature that provides preconfigured setups has been
|
||||
added. Aside from including preconfigured setups, the new bootstrap apps
|
||||
has the ability of dumping an users current setup into a serialized text file
|
||||
which can be tweaked by hand and sent via email to other users. The possibilities
|
||||
enabled by this range from company wide defaults setups to consultants providing
|
||||
their clients with customized setups without having to access their clients'
|
||||
**Mayan EDMS** instances. JSON, YAML and a custom YAML format
|
||||
(http://djangosnippets.org/snippets/2461/) are supported by this new app.
|
||||
|
||||
Translation updates
|
||||
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||||
The translation for all the current languages were synchronized to the
|
||||
latest transifex project sources.
|
||||
|
||||
General fixes
|
||||
Model updates
|
||||
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||||
Unique fields in the DocumentType model, MetadataSet label
|
||||
Several small fixes to the behavior of some model were added, namely that
|
||||
the names of some models should be unique. The document type name as well
|
||||
as the metadata set name were two models that were updated to behave this way.
|
||||
|
||||
Navigation updates
|
||||
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||||
There were some additions and changes to the navigation to make it more intuitive
|
||||
or to add an alternate way to access the same information better. The bulk
|
||||
attachment of tags was one of these. Previously users were added or removed from groups,
|
||||
now users can be assigned to groups without leaving the user view. The name of an
|
||||
existing metadata set can now be edited and what was previously called metadata set edit
|
||||
is now more aptly named metadata members which adds or removes metadata types into a
|
||||
single organizational unit. An error that caused a duplicate menu link in the
|
||||
document type filename view was also fixed.
