Release v6.28.0 (2025-12-19)

Server

Important

  • This release forces a blocking re-index. Make sure to plan enough time for this update as your users will not be able to access the database while the re-index is running. [41899033e] [3c7509de2]

Improved

  • /api/export: Support STDIN as optional input path for plugins. This extends the export / export_transport path to allow sending "export" via STDIN instead of filling the %info.json% with it. For bigger exports this helps to work around limitations of cmd line calls where the size of argument characters is limited. See the documentation for more information. [5ac80b88a]

  • /api/search: Output preferred attribute for files if requested using include_fields. [a08ed237f]

  • /api/db: Remove empty nested rows on save. This change allows the frontend to delete nested rows while keeping the ability to send a nested row with only a _uuid in limited masks where the server needs to add existing fields to the record. Only the server can determine if a row is empty and can be omitted during s ave. [28035bfdd]

  • fylr.yml: Automatically adjust fylr.elastic.maxMem to match (-10%) to match http.max_content_length of the indexer. If fylr sends more data than allowed, the bulk index request would get refused. [41899033e]

  • /api/search: Improved support for Chinese characters. The previous code would ignore 北京 (Beijing) when creating terms. Due to the segmenter we are using, this will now at least create two terms 北 and 京. It would be more work to understand this as one word rather than two. But the new code is better than the old, the latter did ignore Chinese characters all together. The generation of terms only applies to new object versions and there is built-in way to re-produce all terms for all objects. Also, fixed the search and do not interpret "北京" as "wildcard only" because of the word boundaries between the characters. Now, the WildcardOnlyNotAllowed error will only show if no word or character other than * is used. [bcea3f774]

  • Export CSV / XLSX: Add column original_filename for file fields. [643592f6e]

  • Dockerfile: The included config/fylr.yml received a small change for fylr+.init+.config+.system+.config+. Previous versions would not use the + for the last part of the declaration, overwriting the fylr.default.yml default location configuration in fylr.init.config.system.config.location_defaults. [e31d950ca]

Fixed

  • Indexer: Correctly index objects which contain files with numbers bigger than float 64 in their metadata. [3c7509de2]

  • Standard: Fixed some standard info compilation with deep linked standard info. [dbc9325b4]

  • Webhooks: Fixed error handling for some connection problems. Before fylr would panic with a nil pointer exception. [37e9ff265]

  • fylr backup: Replace user group relations of easydb 5 which were marked as type sso to match fylr type saml. [c58cd8da9]

Frontend

Improved

  • Plugin Manager: The Plugin Manager has been enhanced to display Build information when the plugin provides a build_info.json file. We also added support for including a README in the plugin build and referencing it in the manifest. When a README is available, the Plugin Manager will show a new README tab. The fylr-plugin-example will be updated to include examples of these new features.

  • Custom Mask Splitter: Improved handling of Custom Mask Splitters when the implementing plugin is not installed. It is now possible to remove an unknown Custom Mask Splitter by deleting its "end" element. This helps recover from cases where a mask became corrupted due to a bug when deleting an unknown Custom Mask Splitter prior to this update.

  • Asset Variant Editor: Added a new checkbox to the Produce Variant tool to mark the newly created variant as preferred. This streamlines the workflow by removing the need to manually edit the variants array after creation.

Fixed

  • Collection Sharing: Fixed a bug that caused an error when saving a collection with the "link" right that included pools.

  • Collection Upload: Fixed an issue that could occur when uploading a file to a collection.

  • Mask Editor: Fixed the behaviour for unknown Custom Mask Splitters in the Mask Editor. Unknown splitters now correctly match their corresponding unknown "end" element, preventing orphaned elements that can corrupt the mask.

  • File Size Formatting: Fixed file size formatting in Fylr.

Plugins

easydb-export-transport-ftp-plugin v1.1.1
