Version 4.1.2¶
Released: October 27, 2021
Status: Stable
Changes¶
Organizations¶
An bug was fixed where an empty ORGANIZATIONS_URL_BASE_PATH
value
would cause the work None
to be appended to the URL after login.
Templating¶
An issue that cause initial_help_text
of ModelTemplateField
to be
ignored was fixed.
The issue that prevented the creation of a Document version page OCR update
workflow action was rooted in the way the ModelTemplateField
passed
the model value to the widget, which caused Django to attempt getting a
string representation of the model. The issue was fixed for all tested
cases.
Workflows¶
The ModelTemplateField
was added to the document properties modification
and the HTTP request workflow actions.
The first stage of the workflow action help text consolidation was merged.
Removals¶
None

Upgrading from Mayan EDMS 3.5.x¶
Important
Supervisord must be upgraded to version 4.2.2. See troubleshooting section: After upgrade to version 4.1
Stop supervisord:
sudo systemctl stop supervisor
Make a backup of your supervisord file:
sudo cp /etc/supervisor/conf.d/mayan-edms.conf /etc/supervisor/conf.d/mayan-edms.conf.bck
Make a backup of your database:
Use the respective backup command for the database:
Upgrade to the latest pip version:
sudo --user=mayan /opt/mayan-edms/bin/pip install --upgrade pip
Remove deprecated requirements:
sudo --user=mayan curl https://gitlab.com/mayan-edms/mayan-edms/raw/master/removals.txt --output /tmp/removals.txt \ && sudo --user=mayan /opt/mayan-edms/bin/pip uninstall --requirement /tmp/removals.txt --yes
Update the Mayan EDMS Python package:
sudo --user=mayan /opt/mayan-edms/bin/pip install mayan-edms==4.4.2
the requirements will also be updated automatically.
