Version 4.2.5

Released: May 21, 2022

Status: Stable

Changes

Converter

Fixed the asset transformations hash calculation. This fixes the issue where uploading a new file for an asset already added via transformation to a document page would not update the asset image in the document page.

Fixes a wrong parameter in the ImageDraw.Draw usage of the TransformationDrawRectangle transformation.

Added sanity check to reject negative zoom values for the TransformationZoom transformation.

Dependencies

Updated Django from version 3.2.12 to 3.2.13.

Documents

Fixed favorite document links reacting to favorite documents beyond the active user.

REST API

Fixed the asset image API view docstring. The docstring incorrectly displayed “document” instead of “asset”.

Search

Converted the signal handler that triggers search indexing on many to many fields changes to a background task. This solves an issue where the user interface blocks when changing the document type to index template association on large installations.

Updated the object index task to retry on missing object errors. There are situations where the broker will route the message to the workers faster than the database can commit the data, creating an false positive object not found error.

Task manager

Added Celery queue deduplication to the CeleryQueue class. There are no reported cases of duplicated queues but this will prevent possible issues.

Enabled app tests that were added but not enabled.

Added support for runtime removal of queues. This is not used by the core system but is useful for third party apps wanting to remove queues defined by the core apps.

User management

Added a warning message when users attempt to delete their own accounts.
