Docspell v0.17.0 Release Notes

  • Dec 14, 2020

    ๐Ÿš€ This release comes with some smaller features:

    • ๐Ÿ”‹ Feature: Remember-Me โ€“ another cookie is used to provide a remember-me functionality. The cookie is checked against some value in the database, so an admin can always make all remember-me cookies invalid. (#435)
    • ๐Ÿ”‹ Feature: Link persons to organizations. In the address book, a person can now be associated to an organzition. The dropdowns show a little hint for which organization a person belongs to. Also suggestions for persons are restricted to those of the organization if that has been associated before. (#375)
    • ๐Ÿ”‹ Feature: Allow to filter on source names. The search form can now search by a source name. The new field can be hidden via ui settings (it must be activated for exising users). (#390)
    • ๐Ÿ”‹ Feature: Customize the title and subtitle of the item card in the overview. You can now define patterns for the title and subtitle of a card. (#429)
    • ๐Ÿ”‹ Feature: Export your data. A bash script has been added that goes through your items and downloads them all to disk (including their metadata!). This can be used to periodically backup the data in docspell.
    • ๐Ÿ‘Œ Improvement: The webui has been improved in that the search bar and search form are unified regarding the text search. The two fields in the form, allowing to search in names and fulltext, have been combined into a single field just as the search bar. (#497)

    ๐Ÿš€ This is the last release for 2020. I had hoped to put more into this, but this time of the year is always a busy one ;-). I want to thank ๐Ÿ‘ you for your support and interest in this project and I wish you all a joyful Christmas time!
