Code repositories are being converted to Git. Read-access to Mercurial repositories has been restricted to administrators and write operations are no longer permitted. Use of the Git repository is now required. We are in the process of updating Makefiles, etc... to use the Git URLs. Use of MQ [Mercurial Patch Queues] will be replaced with use of Git topic branches.

OIE's sshPutFileAction has several bug fixes commited on 2014-11-20 & 2014-11-21.
An inconsistency in the Paramiko API may result in a TypeError if the server attempts to truncate the target file (which is the default behavior). A parameter of "fileMode" was also introduced which allows the mode (permissions) of the file to be set after the write operation is completed.

There have been many exciting enhancements to the development branch recently.

• There is a new OIE lookup table: YAMLLookupTable. YAMLLookupTable allows values to be looked up from YAML data in either workflow messages or project documents. Web developers can easily create interfaces for updating data in YAML documnts - very noSQLish - which can then be used in workflow routes via translateAction and transformAction. As with all OIE tables YAMLLookupTable can be aggregated or chained with other lookup tables.
• Values can be passed to XSLT transforms (when using OIE's transformAction) as template parameters (accessible as variables in the template). In conjunction with label substitution passing variables to the template can dramatically reduce the complexity of iteration (foreach,... ) actions. Passed variables also allow for greater template re-use, meaning fewer templates to track and maintain.
• OIE's sqlInsertAction records the number of records inserted by the most recent operation as a property on the Process object. This little change makes it easier to survey the results of the typical ETL type workflow.
• The performance of recent XML-RPC (both RPC2 and /proxy) and JSON-RPC calls are recorded and available as easy-to-parse JSON via the /perf protocol.
• The thumbnail service now attempts to provide thumbnails for TIFF, GIF, and BMP images.
• The new documentToMessageAction OIE action allows for project documents to be retrieved (by URI or objectId) into a workflow message.
• WebDAV PROPFIND is faster - a lot faster.
• OIE's sqlSelectAction now records the full query text of the query performed in the process' audit log.
• Write support has been implemented in the SimpleDelimitedFieldFormat; and numerous test cases are included in the unittests to avoid regressions... it is amazing how complicated something as simple as a delimited text file actually is.
• OIE has a new xmlToXlsAction action which will dump a StandardXML document to a simple XLS document. It isn't pretty, but there is no quicker way to get results into a spreadsheet.

A new version and a new edition of WMOGAG for Coils has been uploaded. Packages are available both here and via PyPI.

New features included:
- Reduced number of database connections used; more components close their connections at idle.
- Document Special Processing has been implemented; creation or revision of a document can invoke a workflow process.
- Support for setting EDDP related object properties on a document folder via WebDAV PROPSET.
- Document MIME-Type rewriting.
- EDDP PDF page bursting feature has been refactored. Several potential bugs fixed and the code is much less scary.
- task::get-todo-list now matches the return results of Legacy regarding inclusion of completed tasks
- OIE's sendMailAction now allows for deferred sending, so multiple attachments can be sent with a message.
- BLOBManager correctly handles path-already-exist instances that can occur when the server is busy processing documents.

A new edition of WMOGAG Coils has been uploaded to files. This edition, in addition to many other fixes and additions, provides in-depth documentation of event driven documentation features as well as CUPS integration. Using this edition you can easily:
- Automatically assign uploaded documents to collections.
- Automatically unassign modified documents from collections.
- Automatically file copies of created or modified documents.
- Automatically page-burst multiple page PDF documents into multiple single page documents.
- Print directly from clients into OpenGroupware folders, creating new documents.

Changes

• WebDAV support for Location header disabled for GNOME's Evolution. This corrects issues with updating contacts.
• Important fix regarding XSLT transforms and Unicode code-pages.
• Omphalos XML rendering will generate an administrative notice if an entity cannot be translated to the output code page.

  Where OGo#13871405 is a Task this will create/update the file named 
  "cert.pem" in the root folder of the project this task is assigned
  to. It will also, automatically, generate an object link from the
  task to this new or updated file.
  
  curl -u adam -T cacert.pem \
    "http://coils.example.com/attachfs/13871405/cacert.pem?mode=file"
  
  If the Task is not assigned to a project an exception will be raised.

WebDAV (and CardDAV/CalDAV clients) vary greatly in quality so real testing is always necessary. Notes regarding per-client testing will be posted to these wiki pages.

A new article on using the workflow scheduler has been published on the OpenGroupare.us BLOG.

OpenGroupware Coils 0.1.49rc4 has been uploaded to SourceForge and PyPI.

This release fixes an important bug found in 0.1.49rc3 regarding OIE Tables. If you use OIE look-up tables with 0.1.49rc3 you should update to this RC.

OpenGroupware Coils 0.1.49rc3 has been uploaded to SourceForge and PyPI.

Changes since 0.1.49rc0

• Built-in label substitutions supported in the input values of XATTR attributes on scheduler entries.
  • For example you can specify an XATTR value of "$TODAY;" and when the process is created by the scheduler the value of that XATTR will be replaced with the current date.
• If the component cannot bind to the AMQ bus a much more informative error message is generated.
  • Modules can be loaded or banned using environment variables.
  • COILS_EXTRA_MODULES : A CSV value nameing additional modules to be loaded and scanned for Logic operations and service components.
  • COILS_BANNED_MODULES : A CSV value nameing additional modules which should not be loaded.
• Starting of service components can be banned using the environment variable COILS_BANNED_SERVICES.
• The developmnt tool coils-ping-service has been added to the distribution package. This tool allows adminstrators to test if a component is available on the AMQ bus.
• Context identity UUID and packet identity UUID are now hex encoded UUID values; these provide the same level of identity in a shorter string.
• Workflow scheduler entries can be created via HTTP PUT.
• coils.foundation now provides a utility function to parse date & datetime values into UTC datetimes.
  • Use coils.foundation.Parse_Value_To_UTCDateTime
• For Contact and Enterprise entity decoding from Omphalos supports in-line [implicit] company values.
  • If a value dictionary contains a key that corresponds to a defined company value, such as "email1", the value will be automatically mapped to the entities "email1" company value.
• All components operate in UTC, regardless of the system's timezone.
• Workflow scheduler now supports specifying the priority of processes to be created from a scheduler entry.
• Priority of a created process is limited by the current context.
  • A higher priority process will be run before a lower priority process. With this change any use can create a proces with a process of less than 250 (mostly proceses default to a priority of 201 if no priority is specified). If the user has either the workflow administrator or system adminstrator role a process priorities may be as high as 499. If a context attempts to create a process with priority beyond its limit the process will be created with the highest priority available to that context.
• Additional built-in label substitution values:
  • TODAY - The current date, functionally this is equivalent to the existing $DATE; built-in but is derived from a date value rather than from a date-time.
  • YESTERDAY - The date of the previous day.
  • TOMORROW - The date of the following day.
  • All built-in label substitution values are now covered by unit tests.
• Completed implementation of the OIE translateAction which allows values to be used to perform look-ups in OIE tables and storing the result into a workflow message.
• Table lookups can cache the results of multi-input value look-ups.... read more

After a long series of RC releases 0.1.48 is here. 0.1.48 provides a significant improvement in feature completeness and stability. The list of changes is simply to extensive to enumerate, and most are not immediately visible. Highlights are:

• SQLAlchemy version increased to 0.7.4
• OIE Tables and Formats can now be deleted via WebDAV
• OIE now provides a rmlToPDFAction if the z3c.rml module is available; this allows very complex PDFs to be generated from RML (an XML dialect) - so you can transform you data into documents using XSLT stylesheets.
• Support for None/Null values in XML-RPC responses can be enabled based on user-agent.
• SQL Operation Filtering
• Vista support of a "vacuum" event to clean out expired search vectors.
• YAML documents edited via WebDAV provide a more consistent format.

• Makefile deployment has been improved. "make run" should no longer reset your developer instance to default settings [removing your setting customizations].
• OIE Tables and Formats can now be deleted via WebDAV
• Omphalos decoding is more durable; it will recognize that it needs to decode tuples like it does lists.
• Omphalos associativeLists [for associative list clients] feature will more reliably flatten Omphalos data from associative list clients.
