Release 3.1 update 3

Today, we released update 3 of our current version 3.1. This new version contains a number of impovements and bugfixes, but the the biggest improvement of all is our new Javascript Chart Engine, which is included for free in instantOLAP starting with this release.

Release Notes

Web-Frontend

• A new chart engine was added (it’s using the also new „chart“ format in  blocks). The new chart engine is implemented in 100% interactive java-script  and mostly compatible with the previous engine.
• Links with targets now open the target report in always the same tabulator
• A new header attribute „Input Mask“ was added. This attribute allows to define  masks (with regular expression) for validating the input. Only, if the mask  matches, the input will be accepted.
• A new language attribute was added to the automation manager. With a language set, the reports will be generated in this language instead using the server default language.
• Logging in as „guest“ user in the login dialog has been disabled. Instead, a „Cancel“ button will appear in the login dialog whenever guest login is enabled – this will bring back the user into guest mode.
• In the query designer, attributes of a dimension are collected in a node now in order to save space on the screen.
• A „CC“ field was EMail tasks was added
• The title for (automatically) exported reports can contain the „_“ char now
• Export automations can create up to 10,000 files now (instead of 1,000)

• Single- and Multiple-Selectors without options are visible now
• Bugfix: The repository appeared in the designer- or edit-mode if a self refreshing report was opened in another tab.
• Bugfix: The session didn’t stay alive when the frontend wasn’t in use for a while.
• Bugfix: Temporary models appeared as „null“ in the „New Query“ dialog of the web frontend. They have been removed now.
• Bugfix: Charts with one or more hidden rows remain totally invisible
• Bugfix: In I8, some selector types have shown unnecessary scroll bars
• Bugfix: The logic for input-fields and checkbox-selectors was cleaned up and is compatible with 2.7 now
• Bugfix: Very large images in cells weren’t display properly in FF 26+
• Bugfix: The blocks in tabbed blocks now use the complete available space (they tend to leave some pixels blank below)
• Bugfix: For compability reasons, selectors can work with keys with empty IDs now
• Bugfix: Dialogs became too large if their corner was dragged over the browser edge

Server

• The expression-parser accepts strings in quotes as attribute names now, e.g. Product.“Product Nr“

• The MOD function now returns an integer if both arguments are an integer, too
• Bugfix: The ROWNUM function return too many keys when using both „Start“ and „Count“ attributes.
• Bugfix: The FIND function was case-sensitive if a pattern was used
