Breaking Changes
As part of the fix to prevent the item dependency chain from being reset when default values and filtering have been configured we have introduced breaking changes to the way in which the dependency change is validated. We now ensure that if a field is used as a key then the value will now be imported and if the field has not been changed dependent fields will not be prefilled. Previous behavior is no longer supported.
Enabled/Disabled comments and reasons settings will be respected on the public API for each transition individually
For new and existing Jira integration connected service configuration please notes that the comment from the status changed within Jira will only be present if comments are enabled for the transition within Encode.
ECommerceCampaignXMLExport job requires the TargetFileNameParameterField parameter specified if singleFile parameter is set to false. If not specified, job will fail.

Encode Inbox - Do you find it difficult to ensure your customers submit a request for work using an online briefing form? Encode Inbox simplifies this process allowing for you to compose your request for work via any email client and then send it to a dedicated email address, creating a new item within Encode. Please follow up with your Encode Consultant to find out more.
ByggeBasen Connector - ByggeBasen is an internet-based product database for the construction industry that is used by Product Information Teams to obtain data, images, and documents to help promote products. We have extended the support within the configuration of the ByggeBasen Connector to automatically retrieve product data and files based on a defined schedule. Product files will also now be imported to the linked Product Images module. Read more about this functionality in our guides
Generate Public Links - Easily share content with people outside of your organization by generating a public URL with support to generate via UI, actions or via the public API. Read more about this functionality in our guides
An important note on Public URLs!
Encode does not serve any public files through a CDN and should not be used to display images from Encode on your website.

Inline Previews - To improve user experience it is now possible to display a thumbnail preview in a wider variety of locations allowing customers greater visibility when a reference item is added to a form that contains a file. Read more about this functionality in our guides
Adjust Column Width - Optimisations have been made in the spreadsheet view to allow users greater control, allowing customers to customize the column width allowing for more space to be allocated to fields with larger content. Once defined your preference will be remembered.
Public API - Change Status - We have extended our public API to allow customers to transition workflow. After the transition of a workflow, any actions will be triggered and any changes captured in the workflow log of the item. Please follow up with your Encode Consultant to find out more.
Public API - Reasons - Our Public API has been extended to include any reasons specified when transitioning a workflow status. Please follow up with your Encode Consultant to find out more.
Version Cleanup - We have introduced a toolset within Site Configuration > Version Cleanup to allow for the automated deletion of any files stored on disk. This should only be used if a module with version control previously enabled is then later disabled. Read more about this functionality in our guides
Health: Rules Validation - We have introduced a toolset within Site Configuration > Health > Rules Overview to validate any configured rules. With the support of Internationalisation standards for date and numerical formatting, there are several functions with rules that are no longer supported. Read more about these breaking changes in our guides
Health: Field Overview - To understand the breaking changes and where configuration may no longer be supported we have introduced validation tools to evaluate "Prefill Automatically" and "Default values" configuration within Site Configuration > Health > Field Overview.

Bug Fixes
A fix to ensure that add new item button displayed on a dashboard respects module configuration.
A fix to prevent when end-users have configured a calendar widget without filters resulting in 200K+ items being loading and overloading the system. As part of this fix, we have introduced a hard limit to max load 1000 items onto each calendar widget to avoid the system being overloaded in case of incorrect widget configuration.
A fix to prevent the item dependency chain from being reset when default values and filtering have been configured. We now ensure that if a field is used as a key then the value will now be imported and if the field has not been changed dependent fields will not be prefilled. Previous behavior for default values and filtering has been adjusted and may no longer be supported.
