DM Release Version 9.1
Release date: 27th July 2020
Notable Changes
These changes should be considered before upgrading:
When Upgrading from 9.0 to 9.1 using the silent installer, the installer properties file must now contain the USR_NODE_NAME attribute.
Search query keys that have default values and are also read-only can no longer be overridden via the REST API (results in a 400 Bad Request).
Security Improvements
The following security enhancements have now been implemented:
We have updated document access control, allowing full enforcement of search access configuration on all document operations.
We have added Group management audit events.
Note definition management audit events have been added.
‘Deleted’ (hidden) users can no longer activate evaluation mode.
We have updated lodash library from 4.13.11 to 4.17.15.
Usability Improvements
The following usability enhancements have now been implemented:
We have standardised and improved database update logging to make debugging easier.
The standalone installer now supports the specification of a node name and port offset values, allowing multiple standalone installs on a single machine.
Fixes
The following list contains details of fixes we have implemented since the last release:
The applications' dropdown wording is now more consistent.
The search query keys with default values have been fixed for both the frontend and the APIs where:
the key is not read-only, the values can be overridden.
the key is read-only, the values cannot be overridden.
The reset button on the Role Manager screen now clears the state correctly.
We have resolved a visual glitch where icons were misaligned from the text.
Reduced duplication of document access audit events when using the frontend.
Resolved an issue preventing SQL application operations from auditing correctly.
Configuration management can now associate links between groups and users.
Updating user application access now triggers the correct audit event to be logged.
We reverted a 9.0 database update that attempted to shorten name fields to 50; we saw examples of customer usages where document definition names exceeded this, so the name width once again stands at 255.
