API

• Created a new endpoint to get the history of a selected item. GET request: bom-service/v1/items/{itemId}/history. This endpoint returns the history of actions performed on a selected item and the history of actions performed on all previous items with the same item number.
• Created a new endpoint to export the history of a selected item in a CSV format. GET request: bom-service/v1/items/{itemId}/history/export. This endpoint exports the full history of actions performed on a selected item and the history of actions performed on all previous items with the same item number.

General

• Improved handling of obsolete items during a cBOM Bulk Export. Obsolete item versions will be replaced with the latest non-obsolete versions.

CAD plugin version: 24.7.0.0009

Plugins

CAD

• Modified the sorting algorithm for the results in Quick Search. Results will now be sorted by Item representation as setup in the plugin settings, latest revisions being on the top.
• Items in the Where used tab now include the item version to follow the same pattern as shown in the Web UI. The full representation is now: ItemNumber-ItemMajorRevision-ItemMinorRevision.ItemVersion-ItemName.
• Fixed an issue where the validation that checked if the item name contained special characters was incorrect. When the tenant property item.name.in.translation.name is disabled, the plugin will not check if item name contains special characters.
• Optimized the thumbnail generation process during the check in process before the BOM wizard is shown. This optimization should prevent potential OutOfMemory exceptions during the check in process.

General

• Fixed an issue where the Advance Search window wouldn't close after opening an item from the Project section of the Where used tab of an item in the search results.
• Security updates.

CAD plugin version: 24.6.0.0009

Plugins

SOLIDWORKS

• Fixed an issue when checking in a CAD file from a folder other than the home folder and the CAD file still existed in the home folder as read-only. The CAD plugin would try to upload a new version of the CAD file but instead uploaded the older CAD file version from the home folder.

CAD

• Fixed an issue where a decimal quantity was converted to a non-decimal value upon check in.

Workflow

• Added a new validation when editing a workflow's name in the Administration and the name is already taken. You are now notified that another workflow with the same name already exists.
• Fixed an issue where using the option "Duplicate as tenant workflow" created a workflow with invalid primitive IDs represented as a NaN in the Web UI.

Interface

• Web UI no longer shows the build number.

General

• Fixed an issue where tasks were incorrectly delegated immediately upon activating the Out-of-Office feature, regardless of the set period. Tasks are now delegated only during the defined OOO period.
• Security updates.

API

• Fixed an API endpoint api/user/v1/locked_objects when used in Swagger. Upc-Selected-Company is now a mandatory header.
