Version 0.10

• Added a proper setup views for the document grouping functionality.

• Document grouping is now called smart linking as it relates better to how it actually works. The data base schema was changed and users must do the required:

  $ ./manager syncdb
  

  for the new tables to be created.

• Grappelli is no longer required as can be uninstalled.

• New smarter document preview widget that doesn’t allow zooming or viewing unknown or invalid documents.

• New office document converter, requires:

  • LibreOffice (https://www.libreoffice.org/)

  • unoconv [version 0.5] (https://github.com/dagwieers/unoconv)

• The new office documents converter won’t convert files with the extension .docx because these files are recognized as zip files instead. This is an issue of the libmagic library.

• New configuration option added CONVERTER_UNOCONV_USE_PIPE that controls how unoconv handles the communication with LibreOffice. The default of True causes unoconv to use pipes, this approach is slower than using TCP/IP ports but it is more stable.

• Initial REST API that exposes documents properties and one method, this new API is used by the new smart document widget and requires the package djangorestframework, users must issue a:

  $ pip install -r requirements/production.txt
  

  to install this new requirement.

• MIME type detection and caching performance updates.

• Updated the included version of jQuery to 1.7

• Updated the included version of JqueryAsynchImageLoader to 0.9.7

• Document image serving response now specifies a MIME type for increased browser compatibility.

• Small change in the scheduler that increases stability.

• Russian translation updates Sergey Glita

• Improved and generalized the OCR queue locking mechanism, this should eliminate any possibility of race conditions between Mayan EDMS OCR nodes.

• Added support for signals to the OCR queue, this results in instant OCR processing upon submittal of a document to the OCR queue, this works in addition to the current polling processing which eliminates the possibility of stale documents in the OCR queue.

• Added multiple document OCR submit link

• Re enabled Tesseract language specific OCR processing and added a one (1) time language neutral retry for failed language specific OCR
