Releases: ePADD/epadd
v11.1.0
Release Notes
Fixing messages in rich-text format (rtf) to make them viewable in rtf viewers.
Message bodies in rtf format are treated as attachments in ePADD. Some of these message bodies have leading new lines, which make them unreadable for RTF viewers. In order to make it possible to click and view such messages, leading newlines are removed when importing such emails.
Fixed an issue leading to no messages being displayed after using ‘sort’ when browsing messages.
When going to 'Folders' on the main screen, clicking a folder and then choosing 'Sort By', ePADD erroneously always came back with 'No messages'.
Header Export
Fixed an issue leading to headers not being exported to the delivery module.
Making ePADD more robust by enforcing UTF-8 encoding (thanks to @tledoux)
Removing the HTML part of messages when exporting to the discovery module.
In the discovery module, there is only a display of messages and no export of messages. Therefore, there is no need for the HTML part of messages to be exported to the discovery module, and in case a message was redacted, it is not desirable to have the unredacted HTML version on the server, even if it is not accessible from within ePADD. (Note: In case there is no plain part in the original message, the plain part will be generated by extracting the text from the HTML part. Displaying the message in ePADD then happens by using the extracted text, so still, the original HTML part is not needed for displaying the message.)
Entity Recognition
Fixed a bug where entity recognition stopped working after the initial import session.
Message Headers in Legacy Archives
From ePADD version 9, all email headers are stored internally and printed when exporting emails. Before version 9, only headers like "From," "To," "Subject," and "Date" were stored. Running an ePADD version 9 or higher, reading an archive created with ePADD before version 9, resulted in no headers printed when downloading search results in Mbox format. This has been fixed.
Institution Name Link in Processing Mode
Removed the clickable link from the institution name at the start
page in Processing Mode.
Previously, if no institution name was set, clicking the placeholder text 'Please Add Institution Name' caused a NullPointerException. Since the institution link led to a repository overview that was not necessary at this stage, the link has been removed. The institution name can be set after entering the collection and clicking the ‘edit’ button in the Summary.
Added sort-by option for collections overview page.
On the start page in the processing module, the collections were in seemingly random order. Now they are in ascending order of their short titles, with the option to sort in descending order or by institution name in ascending or descending order.
Fix epadd.base.dir path handling in the epadd.properties file for cross-platform use.
This change ensures that the path works correctly on Windows, Mac, and Linux, regardless of the slash type used. When setting the base dir in the epadd.properties file on Windows, double backslashes were needed (e.g. C:\users\smith\epadd-staff), on Mac/Linux, forward slashes were needed (C:/users/smith/epadd-staff). Using other types of slashes would result in unexpected behaviour. Now any slashes (,\,/,//) can be used, independent of the platform.

v11.0.1
Fixed issue when names of attached files contain tabs or start with blanks. Blanks at the beginning will now be removed, tabs will be replaced with white spaces (issue #454).
Keep the ePADD banner at bottom of the screen for multi-term search results. This fixes issue #466.
Changed location of tmp directory so when exporting to an external hard drive data is no longer temporarily stored in home directory. This fixes issue #439.
Fixed an issue leading to facets not working properly when browsing the result of an advanced search (issue #432).
Fixed an issue making Lexicons with special characters in name unusable (issue #470).
System labels are now exported to the delivery module. This fixes issue #464.

Release Notes
Fixed unresponsive interface issue:
Resolved an issue causing the interface to become unresponsive when editing larger correspondents lists.
Correspondent Merge Button:
Added a new feature allowing users to merge multiple correspondents by selecting them and clicking a merge button rather than manually editing the correspondents list.
Permission Labels:
Introduced a new label type, 'Permission label,' allowing users to create custom permission labels and attach them to messages. The ' Export to next ePADD module' (currently only from the processing module) and the 'Download messages' functionality now have the option 'All permissive non-restricted messages', meaning only messages with a permission label are exported (if they don't also have a 'restriction' label attached). There is a default permission label 'Permitted for transfer'.
Advanced Search Enhancement:
Advanced search now includes a 'has-not' option for labels, enabling users to search for messages not having specific labels attached.
Email Redaction:
Added option to redact emails in the processing module. After redaction
the user can toggle between the redacted and the unredacted version in
the processing module.
Message Display Improvement:
When displaying a message, the header now includes a 'folder' field showing the message's folder name and path.
Download Messages Optimization:
Resolved a delay issue when clicking the 'Download messages a mbox' button. Also added the option to download only message headers as CSV files.
Import Accession:
An archive from the appraisal module can now be added to an empty collection in the processing module via 'Import accession'. Importing into a non-empty collection is currently not possible. This will be enabled in a future release.
Fix for issue with attachment file names ending in blank space
On Linux machines ePADD failed to read attachment files with names ending in blank space. This has been fixed by ignoring ending blanks in file names.
Archive Name Change Disabled:
Due to issues changing the default archive name when exporting from appraisal to processing temporarily disabled the option to change the archive name for this ecport. It will be re-enabled in a future release.
Export for Preservation Fix:
Resolved an issue with archives created in versions before v10 failing the 'export for preservation' functionality by creating the 'exportableAssets' folder if it doesn't exist.
Premis Files Creation:
Archives created with versions before v10 don't have Premis files. With the event added 'Missing Premis files created', these files will now be generated.'

Fixing an issue preventing exporting emails when using custom archive folder names. This fixes issue #444.
Headers exported as CSV files from the Processing Module now include the messages' subject lines. This was requested in issue #446.
