Version 3.1.5

Released: October 8, 2018

Changes

Index mirroring fixes

This release fixes the mountindex management command that mounts an index as a FUSE filesystem. It also includes a fix for indexes that return a multi line value. The carriage returns and newlines characters are now converted into spaces to make the index value a valid filesystem directory. Lastly an issue with the duplicated value was fixed. Indexes levels that return a duplicated value will not show as directory entries when mounted as a FUSE filesystem.

Page parsed text link

Recently a link was added to each document page to show the OCR text for that particular page. This release adds another link but to allow users to view the parsed text of each page.

Python 3

This release includes several fixes for Python 3 compatibility and reduce the fail count of the test suit to just one test.

Transformations arguments

Visually the view to create or edit a transformation remains the same. But internally those views now use an explicit form to allow performing YAML format validation of arguments.

Crop transformation

Stricter error checking was added to the crop transformation.
