Rocket.Chat v3.11.0 Release Notes

  • 2021-01-31 · 8 🎉 · 9 🚀 · 52 🐛 · 44 🔍 · 32 👩‍💻👨‍💻

    Engine versions

    • Node: 12.18.4
    • NPM: 6.14.8
    • MongoDB: 3.4, 3.6, 4.0
    • Apps-Engine: 1.22.1

    🎉 New features

    • Apps: Apps Permission System (#20078)

    • Apps: IPreFileUpload event (#20285 by @lolimay)

    • ENTERPRISE: Automatic transfer of unanswered conversations to another agent (#20090)

    • ENTERPRISE: Omnichannel Contact Manager as preferred agent for routing (#20244)

    If the Contact-Manager is assigned to a Visitor, the chat will automatically get transferred to the respective Contact-Manager, provided the Contact-Manager is online. In-case the Contact-Manager is offline, the chat will be transferred to any other online agent. We have provided a setting to control this auto-assignment feature image

    Behavior based-on Routing method

    1. Auto-selection, Load-Balancing, or External Service (autoAssignAgent = true) This is straightforward, - if the Contact-manager is online, the chat will be transferred to the Contact-Manger only - if the Contact-manager is offline, the chat will be transferred to any other online-agent based on the Routing system

    2. Manual-selection (autoAssignAgent = false) - If the Contact-Manager is online, the chat will appear in the Queue of Contact-Manager ONLY - If the Contact-Manager is offline, the chat will appear in the Queue of all related Agents/Manager ( like it's done right now )

    • Banner system and NPS (#20221)

    More robust and scalable banner system for alerting users.

    With this new feature, email accounts will receive email messages(threads) which will be transformed into Omnichannel chats. It'll be possible to set up multiple email accounts, test the connection with email server(email provider) and define the behaviour of each account.

    • Encrypted Discussions and new Encryption Permissions (#20201)

    • Server Info page (#19517)

    🚀 Improvements

    • ➕ Add extra SAML settings to update room subs and add private room subs. (#19489 by @tlskinneriv)

    Added a SAML setting to support updating room subscriptions each time a user logs in via SAML. Added a SAML setting to support including private rooms in SAML updated subscriptions (whether initial or on each logon).

    Global chat search is not set by default now.

    • Message Collection Hooks (#20121)

    Integrating a list of messages into a React component imposes some challenges. Its content is provided by some REST API calls and live-updated by streamer events. To avoid too much coupling with React Hooks, the structures RecordList, MessageList and their derivatives are simple event emitters created and connected on components via some simple hooks, like useThreadsList() and useRecordList().

    • Rewrite Announcement as React component (#20172)

    • Rewrite Prune Messages as React component (#19900)

    • Rewrite User Dropdown and Kebab menu. (#20070)

    • ENTERPRISE: Auditing RoomAutocomplete (#20311)

    • ENTERPRISE: Omnichannel custom fields not storing additional form values (#19953 by @rafaelblink)

    • ➕ Added context check for closing active tabbar for member-list (#20228 by @yash-rajpal)

    When we click on a username and then click on see user's full profile, a tab gets active and shows us the user's profile, the problem occurs when the tab is still active and we try to see another user's profile. In this case, tabbar gets closed. To resolve this, added context check for closing action of active tabbar.

    Added Margins between status bullet and status label

    Added success message after saving notification preferences.

    • 🛠 Fix error that occurs on changing archive status of room (#20098 by @aKn1ghtOut)

    This PR fixes an issue that happens when you try to edit the info of a room, and save changes after changing the value of "Archived". The archive functionality is handled separately from other room settings. The archived key is not used in the saveRoomSettings method but was still being sent over. Hence, the request was being considered invalid. I deleted the "archived" key from the data being sent in the request, making the request valid again.

    • 🌐 Incorrect translations ZN (#20245 by @moniang)

    • 🎉 Initial values update on Account Preferences (#19938)

    • 📈 Invalid filters on the Omnichannel Analytics page (#19899)

    • Livechat.RegisterGuest method removing unset fields (#20124 by @rafaelblink)

    After changes made on https://github.com/RocketChat/Rocket.Chat/pull/19931, the Livechat.RegisterGuest method started removing properties from the visitor inappropriately. The properties that did not receive value were removed from the object. Those changes were made to support the new Contact Form, but now the form has its own method to deal with Contact data so those changes are no longer necessary.

    With the new 3.10.0 version update the Links in topic section below room name were not working, for more info refer issue #20018

    • ✂ Remove duplicate blaze events call for EmojiActions from roomOld (#20159 by @aKn1ghtOut)

    A few methods concerning Emojis are bound multiple times to the DOM using the Template events() call, once in the reactions init.js and the other time after they get exported from app/ui/client/views/app/lib/getCommonRoomEvents.js to whatever page binds all the functions. The getCommonRoomEvents methods are always bound, hence negating a need to bind in a lower-level component.

    The "Hide room" and "Leave Room" confirmation prompts use the "name" key from the room info. When the setting " Allow Special Characters in Room Names" is enabled, the prompts show the normalized names instead of those that contain the special characters.

    Changed the value being used from name to fname, which always has the user-set name.
