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. -.. image:: mayan_first_login.png - :alt: First login dialog - -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. +Metadata set edit Upgrading from a previous version diff --git a/docs/releases/index.rst b/docs/releases/index.rst index 478e26bbd1..a8edb808cf 100644 --- a/docs/releases/index.rst +++ b/docs/releases/index.rst @@ -11,11 +11,12 @@ all the backwards-incompatible changes and deprecated features for each 'final' release from the one after your current **Mayan EDMS** version, up to and including the latest version. -Latest version (0.12.2) +Latest version (0.12.3) ----------------------- .. toctree:: :maxdepth: 1 + 0.12.3 0.12.2 0.12.1 0.12
