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.
|
|
