Versions 3.10.3, 3.8.8 Released

Two new versions of MySource Matrix were released to the community last Monday. Version 3.10.3 and 3.8.8 are predominantly bug-fix releases, with version 3.10.3 incorporating 45 bug fixes, and version 3.8.8 including 24 fixes.

One feature change has also been made in both versions: the Role Assignments screen, previously available only for normal users, have been made available to LDAP and IPB users in both versions, allowing management of roles for users authenticated through external systems.

Users of versions 3.10.2 and 3.8.7 of MySource Matrix are strongly encouraged to upgrade to these latest stable releases.

The next release date is scheduled for Monday, 4th December.

Improvements to Linking Subsystem

In preparation for the new linking permission setup described in the previous newsletter, the functionality of the linking subsystem has changed slightly in the development version.

A new method, accessEffective(), of the Asset object returns TRUE if the permissions on the asset and current effective access are equivalent, and FALSE if the status of the asset has changed it. Also, the couldDeleteLink() function has been merged into canDeleteLink(), as effective access is not required.

New Features

No new generic features have been added to MySource Matrix this week.
