Fixed bugs:

Error handling

When using X-Link-Document-Status HTTP Header to set status on a document and also providing an error-code with X-Link-Error-Code, a notification is always sent out – even if the status isn’t set to “Failed”.
Error mails would be sent event if ‘Notify Stakeholder’ is disabled.

Tracking

Document type column isn’t showing in the “Show all” tab of the tracking search result page.

Developer

Error after artifact-upload via the ‘+’ sign.
On multiple pages, ‘Created by’, ‘Created Date’ and ‘Modified Date’ columns in data grids aren’t updated after editing an item.
Editing an artifact name or description would sometimes result in an error.
Adding an already existing Initialize Step would result in duplicate entries in data grid even though only one actually exists.
Creating a new Document Type Classifier Resolver fails.
Editing the name of a Sequence fails.
CSV disassembler fails when an XSD schema without namespace is used.

Other

Setting status ‘Ignored’ from post-disassemble and Itinerary Steps doesn’t work.
After TrackCDM in a message flow, using Macros doesn’t work.
In XSLTService, Content Type is always set to ‘text/html’.
Various minor UI-improvements.
Sometimes, a Link page will reload infinitely.

Data groups

Errors when trying to delete a Data Group.

My profile

When removing Chart Refresh time, the UI throws and exception.

Azure AD Integration

When ‘Enable Azure AD’ is unchecked, Client Id and Secret are lost after pressing ‘Save’.
After long login time Azure AD-logins cease to work.

X12 and EDIFACT

Improved handling of the X12 TA1 segment.
Improved handling of the UNB6 segment.

Reporting

When executing a report with a faulty or empty SQL-statement, the UI throws an Exception.

Test tool

Exception is thrown when deleting a Test Case with selected expected output.
Improved support for handling (self-enclosed) attributes.

AS2

When sending AS2 without signing and encryption, certificates are still required.
Incorrect MIC in MDN when receiving usigned and unencrypted AS2 message.

LinkProxy

Missing support for calling PATCH methods.

Import / Export

Export of Error Codes include system (default) error codes.

Breaking changes:

In this release, the default Outbox implementation has been changed slightly - it now looks up messages using InterchangeId instead of DocumentId. If a custom Outbox implementation has been created, it should be observed that the property DocumentId in the class OutboxEntity has changed data type from Int64 to Nullable<Int64>.

We always recommend testing any custom-built artifacts with new releases prior to performing an upgrade.
