covers version 3.14.10 stable, 3.16.6 stable, 3.18.0 RC2, 3.19.0 development

News

Replace URL Script Renamed

The script file update_lookups.php is now known as replace_url.php, in versions 3.18.0 and later. This is to remove confusion between it and system_update_lookups.php by giving it a name that more closely reflects its purpose - to replace instances of one URL with another, especially when moving systems from server to server.

New Features

E-Commerce Checkout Updates

Added to: 3.19.0 development, 3.18.0 stable, 3.16.7 stable

Changes made this week: If a customer has paid for their cart, but between that time and delivery there are insufficient quantities of a product(s) to fulfil the order, then the order will still go through. This will cause the product quantity fields to turn negative.

Keywords have been added to the Default Delivery Method to print a list of products and/or a message where negative-quantity products. When sent to the owner of the form, this can be used as a reminder

to order extra stock.

Send Workflow Starter Rejection Email

Added to: 3.19.0 development

This change to the Workflow system will send an email to the user that initiated a workflow process on an asset, if that process is rejected. This notifies the user that they may need to review their edits, along with any notes provided in the workflow process. This change applies to all workflows and cannot be disabled.

Asset Lineage Design Area: Start At Level

Added to: 3.19.0 development

A new "start_at_level" variable has now been added to the Asset Lineage Design Area asset, that starts printing from a specified level. The top of the lineage (the Site asset, if coming from a forward direction) is Level 0, and increases from there.

Planned Development

No new generic features are currently scheduled for development.
