Version 4.2.4
Released: April 29, 2022
Status: Stable
Changes
Cabinets
Trashed documents are now filtered from the cabinet document retrieval methods. This brings code parity with tag documents which work in a very similar way.
Converter
The LUT values used when masking an asset for pasting via Pillow’s
point() are now typecasted to integer which is what the function
expects.
Dependencies
Updated the Debian Docker image from version 11.2-slim to 11.3-slim.
Downgraded the Python Docker image from version 3.11-slim to 3.10-slim.
Pin Jinja2 version to workaround Sphinx bug. Sphinx Jinja2 dependency is not pinned or immutable, and causes the installation of an incompatible version breaking builds.
Documentation
Fixes the paths to the OTP backends shown in the documentation.
Installation
Added community contributed Portainer installation files and documentation chapter.
Metadata
Improved the document metadata edit form validation.
The disabled attribute was removed from the metadata type label field to
avoid having its value removed after a refresh when there is a validation
error.
Removed the required flag from the value field when there is a required
metadata for a document. The previous behavior cause the tabular form to
display “(required)” in column title confusing users and causing them to
think that all metadata type fields were required.
Validation errors are now raised for specific required metadata entries and not for the entire form. This help users better understand which metadata field needs to be corrected.
Improved the required metadata validation logic to take into account existing values and empty forms when data was entered into the field but the update checkbox was left unchecked.
Python
Improved Python 3.10 compatibility by adding a compatibility module to
encapsulate import of the Iterable class.
Search
Removed the hardcoded search model variable name from the search_box.html
template. The variable name is now extracted via a template tag to ensure
backward compatibility even if the variable name is updated again in the
future.
Fixed the search model API URL reference by having the API and view use the same variable to reference the search model.
Used the SEARCH_MODEL_NAME_KWARG instead of hard coding the search model
API URL reference.
Retry failed bulk indexing tasks.
Add max retry value to task_index_search_models.
Added improved search tasks error logging.
Other
Fix Docker pull counter.
Remove repeated Whoosh backend line of code from merge.
