8.3 Release Notes

For Users

Nuxeo Mobile for iOS

8.3 Nuxeo Mobile for iOS 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 Web UI Preview Edition

8.3 The Nuxeo Web UI has been rewritten entirely, switching from JSF stack to Web Component (HTML) / Polymer framework, with a completely re-designed interface. It will be available in preview edition for the Nuxeo Platform 8.3 and fully available along with the LTS 2016. It allows enhanced productivity with direct access to last visited documents, collections, easy browsing between prev/next document, full screen suggester. Effort has been made for making the tasks validation flow highly efficient. With all those improvements, Nuxeo Web UI is a first class choice for projects where visual and workflows are important requirements.

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 Live Connect for Box

8.2 Nuxeo Live Connect has been improved and now integrates with One Drive. Nuxeo Live Connect allows to easily reference files that are stored in the cloud and have them participate to your business processes. It offers as usual with Live Connect: direct download from the Microsoft Cloud, full text indexing etc. We also have come out with a generic One Drive Java client and a generic file picker as well.

JSF Web UI Evolutions

New Previewers

No More Error Stack Trace by Default

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:

  <property name="org.nuxeo.trash.keepCheckedIn">true</property>
</extension>
