8.10 Release Notes

For Users

Nuxeo Mobile

8.3 Nuxeo Mobile provides an out of the box mobile experience with any customized Nuxeo Platform server. It lets you access content stored on Nuxeo Platform servers on your phone. Nuxeo Mobile provides a seamless experience on essential features such as searching, browsing, previewing documents (typically images, videos, text documents and notes), and managing favorite documents. Nuxeo Mobile is available for iOs and Android.

Nuxeo Web UI Beta

8.3 8.10 A new UI is being written for the LTS 2016. Purpose is to move to more recent standards and technological stack (Web Components and Polymer) and to take the opportunity to reboot the user experience. Some important steps around configurability are missing before reaching the 1.0 version. Yet a large part of the feature scope is implemented and robust. We encourage you to check it out yourself:

Final release for LTS 2016 is to be expected for April 2017. Nuxeo Web UI is already available on the Marketplace and you can check its documentation for more details.

Instant Share

8.1 A new feature allows to invite users to a given folder of the Nuxeo Platform with either Read or Edit permission, by email. Invited users do not have an account on the Nuxeo Platform instance. The access is temporary and any access remains tracked in the audit log, based on the used email address. Read more in the documentation.

Nuxeo 3D Addon

8.10 A new addon adds 3D Support to the Nuxeo Platform: canonical views extraction, technical metadata, transformations and 3D previewer for web applications. Those new capabilities can be used for creative process in the textile industry for instance. Read more in the documentation.

Nuxeo Drive Optimizations

8.3 8.10Some improvements were brought to Nuxeo Drive:

Long Renditions

8.10Optimizations have been done on the way renditions computation are scheduled to avoid that a long one with quickly changing documents would monopolize all the resources all the time, preventing uses to get other renditions.

Bigger Resolutions for Picture Renditions

8.10 A new FullHD rendition has been added: 1920x1080, and other renditions's resolutions have been increased: Small picture rendition width limit has been increased from 280 to 560. Medium picture rendition width limit has been increased from 550 to 1000.

PDF Rendition For Picture

8.10 The Picture document type (and all document types with the Picture facet) now has a PDF rendition.

Canon Raw Image as Picture

8.10 CR2 files are finally considered as pictures.

Universal Login Page

8.10A login page used by Drive, Android and iOS application, JSF UI and Web UI has been implemented, with responsive design and mechanisms to support Nuxeo token based authentication in the related applications.

JSF UI Evolutions

New Document Types Icons

8.10 Icons of document types have been updated. We hope you like the new set!

New Previewers

8.2 Preview now offers to see office documents with pdf.js, video documents with video.js and images with a JavaScript client side viewer. Markdown documents are rendered in HTML. Preview is opened in a fancybox.

Placeless Document Can Be Browsed

User Feedback on Permission Management Tab

8.1 Feedback using the Polymer element paper-toast has been implemented on the Permissions tab. It is used on the create, update and delete permission actions, as well as on the "send notification email" action.

No More Error Stack Trace by Default

8.2 By default the traces are hidden in error pages of Nuxeo, for security reasons. In order to activate the traces display in error pages of Nuxeo, the dev mode has to be set: org.nuxeo.dev in nuxeo.conf or in the admin center.

Smart Search Is Back

8.1 Smart Search, that allows users to build their own queries, has been re-integrated to the Search tab, consistently with other search options. Smart Search is delivered as a Nuxeo Package.

Confirmation Pop-up before Purge

8.1 In the Admin Center, when removing the permissions of a given user, you now have to confirm on a pop-up that you really want to purge all the permissions.

Password Protection

See Assigned Groups before Validating Invitation

8.2 When validating an invitation request, Administrator can now see the groups the user will be granted.

8.1 When this error happens, the message is now displayed as a warning and translated in a more friendly way.

Do Not Checkout a Document When Putting It in the Trash

8.3 Now, putting a checked-in document in the trash will not check it out, thus not spuriously changing its quota size. This behavior can be also activated in Nuxeo 7.10 since HF10 using:

<extension target="org.nuxeo.runtime.ConfigurationService" point="configuration">
  <property name="org.nuxeo.trash.keepCheckedIn">true</property>
</extension>

Query Optimization on Dashboard

8.10Some of the queries used on the dashboard have been migrated to using Elasticsearch and now scale better, lowering the display time of the dashboard.

Nuxeo Explorer Improvements

8.3 We reviewed the browsing pattern, simplifying each view to navigate between Extension Points, Services, Operations, Components and Bundles. We've also extended the XML generation feature to help developers have a working sample. The documentation has been completed and will be maintained regularly.

CSV Importer Small Improvements

Import Time Reduction

8.3 Now, the time needed to import an element in a large collection has been greatly reduced.

Type Attribute Not Mandatory

8.2 Type attribute is not mandatory anymore when updating documents. It must be given only for document creation.

Locale Is Respected

8.2 Locale setting is now taken into account when using Nuxeo Spreadsheet for the JSF UI.

No More Error Stack Trace

8.2 By default the traces are hidden in error pages of Nuxeo, for security reasons. In order to activate the traces display in error pages of Nuxeo, the dev mode has to be set ( org.nuxeo.dev in nuxeo.conf or in the Admin Center.)

Overriding Subject of the Permission Assignment Email Notification

8.2 It is now possible to override the subject of the notification that is sent when assigning a permission to someone on a given document. You need to override the label property label.subject.new.permission.

Documents Created by Copy Can Have Their Own Dublincore Schema Metadata Values

8.2 Metadata dc:creator, dc:creationDate, dc:modification and dc:contributors are now reseted for documents created from a template (workspace template). You can also enable this behavior for all kind of document copies by setting nuxeo.dclistener.reset-creator-on-copy configuration property to true.

New Addons

Nuxeo Showcase Content

8.3 The Nuxeo Showcase Content addon imports a set of showcase content so that the repository is not empty for your first steps: office documents, images, videos. The content of this addon has been updated with new sample documents (reports, case studies, etc.). This addon is a good way to start with your Nuxeo Platform.

Nuxeo Platform Additional Languages

8.10 In order to improve the quality of the Nuxeo Platform and user experience, only languages that are sufficiently translated are now available in the default distribution of the Nuxeo Platform. Other languages are available in the new addon Nuxeo Platform Additional Languages, from the Nuxeo Marketplace. The conditions for a language to be available by default are that it is translated at 95% and approved at 75% minimum.
