Release Notes 2024.9

release notes
1

The version is released in minor version 2024.9.1.3545, since an unpleasant bug caused by development of the new feature was discovered after release.

.NET 8.0

The version 2024.9 doesn’t bring any metamodel changes, but it is the first Origam version built on .NET 8.0. In case of hosting application behind IIS, you need to download and install appropriate hosting bundle.

Removal of stack trace in server responses

The version 2024.9 marks beginning of our journey to remove stack trace information from server failure responses. Unfortunately validation errors are also treated as exceptions, thus the process is complicated. The system behaves as before (meaning returns the same responses) only in Development environment. By default system is set to be in Production environment, this also goes for our docker images. The theory behind this system is described here. If you’re facing complications resulting from this change you can default to Development environment as a temporary solution until the issue is resolved.

<environmentVariables>
    <environmentVariable name="ASPNETCORE_ENVIRONMENT" value="Development" />
</environmentVariables>

Always show filter UI

It is now possible for each user to configure the screen to always start with the filter UI enabled. The focus is also set to the first field of the filter UI.

2024.9.2.3566

The 2024.9.2 patch brings fixes for multiple issues.

2024.8’s collection refactoring brought instability to server. The issue is now addressed.

We’re continuing with removing stack traces from the server responses. As a side effect of the stack trace removal, the rule exceptions weren’t returned in API calls. This patch solves also this issue.

Front end contains solution for setting time in fields with full month name date format.

Same as 2024.8.2, this patch contains fix for deployment script generation in Architect.

2024.9.3.3631

The 2024.9.3 patch addresses two issues:

Incidental Drag and Drop Fix

Dragging and dropping between input controls could inadvertently copy partial values, leading to incorrect states. This issue has been resolved by disabling drag-and-drop functionality for input values.

Selection Dialog Behaviour Consistency

When opening a screen with a selection dialog from search results, the selection dialog was displayed. This behaviour differed from opening the same screen via Ctrl+Click on a lookup control, where the selection dialog was skipped, and the screen results were shown directly. The behaviour is now consistent across both scenarios, with the selection dialog being bypassed, and the screen results displayed immediately.

2024.9.4.3654

This patch focuses on resolving two issues:

Checklist Filter Options

An issue caused checklist filter options to fail to load correctly when another field already had a filter applied. This has now been fixed, ensuring smooth functionality.

Copying Text Fields

Previously, when copying a record, models configured to modify a field value (e.g., prepending "Copy of ") could result in a generic error if the concatenated text exceeded the maximum field length. The engine now trims the result from the right to comply with field length limits, avoiding such errors.
