Docspell v0.33.0 Release Notes

  • Mar 6, 2022

    • 🔨 Refactor file identifiers, as preparation for different file storage backends (#1380)
      • PLEASE NOTE this release contains a DB migration that changes all file identifiers in the database. It is really very much recommended to do a backup of the database before updating!
    • 👍 Allow background tasks to return results that are published via events (#1362)
      • the task for processing files returns now data (item id, name, extracted text, tags etc) that is included in the JobDone event data
    • 👉 Users can specify a time zone in user settings (#1062)
      • the time zone is used when formatting dates in the web ui
      • the time zone is used for calendar events of periodic tasks; you need to save each periodic task again in order to pass a different timezone
      • should you have calendar events in the config file, you can add a time zone at the end
      • if not specified, it will default to UTC as before
    • 👌 Improve item selection (#1422)
      • selecting items was possible before, but only ephemeral in the list view
      • it is now stored globally and kept until you explicitely clear the selection
      • items can be selected in detail view and the search menu shows an entry to quickly see all items currently selected
      • makes it easier to select a bunch of documents for sharing/bookmarking etc
    • 🔄 Change logging format and backend
      • The logging format has changed again from logfmt to the "classic" one
      • the configuration allows to use logfmt, json or two "classic" formats
      • logback has been removed! If you used a custom logback.xml before, I'm sorry this is not possible anymore. There are two settings in the config file for now to control logging: logging.minimum-level and logging.format.
    • ⚡️ Pdf preview not updated (#1210)
      • some browsers (e.g. safari and some mobile browsers) don't update the ui when the src attribute of the embed element changes
      • for the "fallback view", an iframe is now used - thus for mobile it should work now. Safari on desktop would require to change the respective setting
    • 💻 Several ui improvements
      • More cards per row for large screens (#1401)
      • more space below direction dropdown (#1400)
      • fix input field save-while-typing (#1340, #1299)
      • improves detail view on small screens (#1420)
      • sort tags by group and then name (#1396)
      • fix bug presenting an empty tag category in search menu (#1402)
      • wrap long text in dashboard tables (#1357)
      • typo fixes (#1387, #1433)
    • ✂ Remove tools package from release (#1421)
      • the tools package doesn't contain general useful stuff anymore and is thus removed from the release packaging. The code is still there, and can be packaged manually

    Rest API Changes

    None.

    🔧 Configuration Changes

    • ➕ add logging.format and logging.minimum-level
    • 🔄 change default values for calendar events to explicitely show that they are in UTC (the value itself is not changed)
