Document signatures

Fixed the detached signature link object reference.

Support ignoring the self signed SSL certificates for ElasticSearch over HTTPS.

Task manager

Improved the unconfigured task error message.

Other

• Remove local version from the platform cache identifiers.

• Minor optimization to documents app migration 0080.

Backward incompatible changes

Cabinets

The cabinet create permission is now required to create parent as well as child cabinets. This change replaces requiring the edit permission to create child cabinets via the HTTP views.

Documents

A new permission was added to change the type of a document. When support for changing the type of a document was added, it was considered a property and controlled via the document property edit permission.

Since changing the type of a documents now causes a cascade of other changes, it was isolated as an individual class of event along with its own permission.

The new document change type permission is required for the document being changed and for the document type to which the document will be changed into.

Downloads

Download files are now associated to a specific users and not to a parent object. Delete, download, and view permissions were added to allow users to share a download file.

OCR

The OCR backend code is now executed under a new method called _execute to avoid subclasses not calling the super class.

The base backend class now prepares the image to be processed for OCR and passes the file object to the subclass.

Search

In addition to the search system refactor, new search indexes were added. The search backend needs to be reindexed to ensure these new indexes are populated.

Settings

The default secret key value is now only used if the secret key file is not found not just if the secret key file is present but unreadable.

Templating

The home_view setting was removed from the default Template context. Template instances need to include their own context using the new context argument.

Deprecations

• The Cabinet API serializer field named parent, will be removed in version 5.0. Use the parent_id instead which is functionally identical.

• The IndexTemplateNodeSerializer serializer fields parent and index will be removed in version 5.0. Use fields parent_id and index_id which are functionally identical.

• The WorkflowInstanceSerializer field named workflow_template_url will be removed in version 5.0. Use the url attribute of the workflow_template instead.
