Version 2.4
===========

Released: June 23, 2017

Changes
-------

SANE document source
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

A new document source has been added with the ability to retrieve documents from
scanners directly. This new document source uses the SANE (Scanner Access Now Easy)
(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scanner_Access_Now_Easy) API client to communicate
with USB and network scanners. SANE must be properly installed for this document
source to work. Your scanner must also be supported by the SANE API
(http://www.sane-project.org/sane-supported-devices.html).


Automatic PDF orientation detection
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

The orientation of PDF documents is now detected at creation and a rotation
transformation applied to each of the document's pages to correct the orientation.


Environment variables
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Configuration options can now be updated from environment variables. To update
a configuration option, prepend the string ``MAYAN_`` to the name of the configuration
option. For example, to increase the number of documents displayed per search results
page (from a default of 40) to 50 documents, set the environment variable
``MAYAN_COMMON_PAGINATE_BY`` to 50 with::

    $ export MAYAN_COMMON_PAGINATE_BY=50

and restart Mayan EDMS. A list of the configuration options can be found in the
:menuselection:`Setup --> Settings` menu.


Math filters
^^^^^^^^^^^^

The django-mathfilters (https://pypi.python.org/pypi/django-mathfilters) package
has been included to provide proper math filters in the indexes. An example of
this is indexing documents by quarter::

    {% load mathfilters %}{{ document.metadata_value_of.date|date:"Y"}}Q{{ document.metadata_value_of.date|date:"m"|sub:1|intdiv:3|add:1 }}


Expand searchable objects
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Previously, only documents and later on document pages were searchable. This release
add support for searching for tags, metadata types and cabinets. This search support
is available via the dynamic search API.


Management command to reset locks
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

During testing or development error occur and locks can remain behind, blocking
execution of a process or task until they expire. To help resolve this a
management command has been added called `purgelocks` that will delete all locks
in the system.


Index by workflow state
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Support was added to update the a document indexes from workflow state changes.
To make workflow referencing easier from the index template, a new fields was
added to the workflow model called internal_name. For example, for a workflow
called "Publishing Workflow" with an internal name of ``publishing_workflow``,
use the following string to reference the current state in an index::

    {{ document.workflow.publishing_workflow.get_current_state }}


Task manager
^^^^^^^^^^^^

A new app to monitor the distribution and consumption of background task has been
added. This app is call "Task manager" and can be found in the "Tools" menu.
Use this new tool to diagnose your background task workers or to determine when
to scale up the number of workers.
