News
New Matrix Release (3.26.2)
MySource Matrix 3.26.2, which includes Funnelback search integration under the SSV, is now available for download from the MySource Matrix web site.
New Features
Event Manager: Broadcast of Lookup and Permission changes
Added to: 3.27.0 development, 3.26.2 stable release
[ Feature Request #4208 ]
Internal event messages - developed primarily for the integration with Funnelback search - are available to broadcast lookup and permission changes. These differ technically from Trigger Events, but are closely related.
Automatic Remaps to use closest available Lookup match
Added to: Added to: 3.27.0 development, 3.26.3 stable
[ Feature Request #4217 ]
Remaps are now selected to more closely match by old URL. Previously remap destination URLs were determined to be the first URL in the lookup. This new functionality means that remaps should maintain within the same domain, as long as there is a matching URL for that domain.
Web Paths screen: Target URL display in Remaps list
Added to: Added to: 3.27.0 development, 3.26.3 stable
[ Feature Request #4220 ]
To retain consistency with Remap Manager, the Remaps section on the asset Web Paths screen now displays the Target URLs within the remaps list.
Check Requirements script: Ability to check executables with path component
Added to: Added to: 3.27.0 development, 3.26.3 stable
[ Feature Request #4233 ]
A <path> tag is now available for use in requirements.xml files to check binaries which do not reside within the operating system's PATH environment.
JS API: Asset lock extended functionality
Added to: Added to: 3.27.0 development
[ Feature Request #4238 ]
The asset lock acquisition and release functionality has been improved as follows:
- new function getLocksInfo() to return information about locks acquired, the user holding locks, and lock expiry time
- any other error that might have occurred during processing of locks
- locks may be acquired on dependent or non-dependent child assets
- locks can now be forcibly acquired
- new function getLocksInfo() which will return
Planned Development
No new generic features are currently scheduled for development.
