New Features

• Feature #5318: Squiz Matrix Maintenance Mode  
  
  This feature introduces a new Maintenance Mode within Squiz Matrix, that when enabled, will disable the functionality of specified assets on the front-end, instead printing a maintenance message for your users.
• Feature #678: Revised Matrix Default Settings
• Feature #755: Matrix Install Script Enhancements
• Feature #920: Designs: A New Comment Syntax Which Doesn't Get Printed to the Front End
  
  A new syntax has been added to a number of design and content assets within Squiz Matrix to allow editors and implementers to add HTML, CSS and JS comments within code that won't be printed on the front-end.
  
  This is useful when users want to leave notes for code that are only applicable when editing in the back-end, for example, a list of asset IDs that a piece of code affects or how to update the code.
• Feature #942: Workflow Schema: Asset Type Restrictions
  
  Squiz Matrix's Metadata Schema asset allows you to set Restrictions, regulating the asset types that the schema is applied to.
  
  This features extends this functionality to the Workflow Schema asset, where you can now set asset type restrictions for the workflow on your system.

• Feature #1807: Allow Editor to Include a Comment When Initiating Workflow  
  
  This feature introduces a new option on the Details screen of Workflow Schema assets that, when enabled, will allow editors to now leave a comment as part of the workflow initiation.
• Feature #2256: JavaScript Processing on Call REST Resource Form & Trigger Actions
  
  The Call REST Resource form submission and trigger actions within Squiz Matrix allows you to communicate with web services exposing themselves using Representational State Transfer (REST) methods, on the submission of a form or when a trigger is fired.
  
  This feature extends the functionality of these actions, adding new settings to enable JavaScript processing of the response from the REST resource call.
• Feature #2731: New User Login Attributes Added
  
  Two new attributes have been added to Matrix to store a user's last login date (login_date) and IP address (login_ip).
• Feature #3308: Additional Asset Information in Error Logs
  
  Previously, when monitoring the error logs of a Squiz Matrix system, it could often be difficult to determine the cause of an error, warning or notice.
  
  This feature adds a new option on the System Configuration's Error/Debug Settings, allowing Matrix to display the current frontend asset ID and URL that an error has been triggered from.
• Feature #3546: E-Commerce Order Logs in the Log Manager
  
  The Ecommerce Form Page's Order Logging screen allows you to tell Matrix to generate a log file in the system, to store a record of completed orders.
  
  Previously, these order logs were only stored on the server and not accessible via the back-end.
  
  This feature changes the way that the E-Commerce package stores these order logs, which will now be written to a new log file: data/private/logs/form_commerce_order.log. The contents of this log file can now be accessed using the system's Log Manager.

  This means that any specified file types will not use the system's static root domain ( i.e www.example.com), instead using Matrix's system root URL. Any file types not specified will be served via the static URL.
• Feature #5189: Highlighted Row Selections in Tables
  
  This feature introduces the handy new addition of highlighted selections when browsing tables in Matrix's Administration interface. This means that row selections will be highlighted as you hover your cursor over a table.
• Feature #5261: Remove SQ_ACTION=login Parameter After Logging In  
  
  The feature adds a new redirect to remove the SQ_ACTION=login query parameter when logging into the system, and also the similar SQ_ACTION=logout when logging out of the system. This redirect will preserve any other query strings contained within the URL.
• Feature #5283: Better Handling of Referencing Files in Design Assets
• Feature #5288: SAML Account Manager: Redirect Delay

  This feature modifies these internal links to be accessible for screen readers and other similar devices.
• Feature #5321: Spam Prevention Tools Extended to Account Manager Page  
  
  In the v4.16.2 release of Squiz Matrix, we introduced three new spam prevention options on the Custom Form and Asset Builder assets: Google reCAPTCHA, Honeypot Question and Submission Time Threshold. These tools have now been extended to the Account Manager Page.

• Feature #5434: New SOAP Function to Search Metadata
  
  Squiz Matrix's SOAP API Metadata Service asset manages the metadata functions of the system's SOAP Server, including setting and regenerating metadata.
  
  This feature introduces a new MetadataSearch function on this service to return assets matching a set metadata query.
• Feature #5439: Custom Form: Enable Simple edit keywords to Print Form Editing Contents
• Feature #5440: JS API: New Form Question Functions  
  
  New functions have been added to the JavaScript API to allow you to create, update and remove questions on Custom Forms.

  Workflow streams within Squiz Matrix allow you to define multiple lists of workflow steps on a single Workflow Schema asset, applied on your pages. When the workflow process is initiated, users can select the workflow stream to use for the approval process.
  
  This feature enables workflow streams to be automatically selected based on a keyword replacement value.
• Feature #5447: Dynamically Select Workflow Step Approval Based on Keyword Replacement

  This feature introduces the new Google Analytics Connector asset that can be used to establish a connection to your Google Analytics application.
• Feature #5480: Ability for Triggers to Action on Other Assets
  
  Previously, triggers within Squiz Matrix could only be actioned on the broadcasting asset, i.e. the asset that fired the event of the trigger.
  
  This feature introduces a new Action On Other Assets option when configuring trigger actions, allowing you to run any trigger action on assets, other than the broadcasting asset.
• Feature #5488: Improved Modifier Support on Metadata Field Keywords  
  
  Metadata field keywords allow you to reference the value of a metadata field within another field on the same asset.
  
  While these keywords have always supported the use of keyword modifiers, modifiers did not previously work correctly in cases where the metadata field value contained a keyword replacement. This was due to the modifier being applied before the keyword in the metadata value was replaced.
  
  This feature improves modifier support on these metadata field keywords, to also support modifiers in these cases.
• Feature #5489: Increased URL Variable Character Field Size Limit
• Feature #5493: Modified JavaScript API CloneAsset Response Object
• Feature #5504: JavaScript API: Ability to Set a Metadata Field to Use the Default Value
• Feature #5534: SAML Account Manager: Set Attributes and Metadata on Newly Created Users
• Feature #5535: OAuth: Sync User Attributes
  
  When configuring the settings of the OAuth Account Manager, you are able to define the user attributes of your OAuth authorised users, using the profile data returned from the API.
  
  These settings, however, did not update these values once they were initially populated. This meant that the values within Matrix could be outdated or out of sync, if updated externally.
  
  This feature introduces a new Sync User Attributes section to combat this issue.
• Feature #5536: Deprecated Assets & Features  
  
  With the release of Squiz Matrix 5.1, we will be initiating a new deprecation process for old and unused assets and features.

  This feature extends the support of the Edit+ Editor within the administration interface, adding new system configuration options to specify the editing tools that you want to make available to your back-end users.
