Release Notes 1.8.0

Release Date: November 8, 2019

New features and updates

The following sections highlight the new features and updates for this release:

• Features and enhancements

• API updates

Features and enhancements

• You now have the option of enabling encryption upon Drive creation. This option encrypts all assets in a Drive so they can only be accessed by a user logged in to EBX®.

• When uploading multiple files, asset thumbnails now display immediately after upload of that asset is complete.

• A Drive can now be configured to access an externally managed storage location. For example, assets might be stored in the cloud on Google Drive or AWS. Alternatively, you might already use a third-party tool to manage digital assets but, you want to enable data model access to these assets. Note that API implementation is required for these types of use cases.

• To improve user experience in certain deployment environments, Spring configuration has been moved from hybrid to pure Java.

• It is no longer mandatory for Digital Asset Components to have associated tag clouds.

• A result page now displays after running the Delete all assets in Drive service.

• By default all file types are now supported and enabled for upload by the add-on. However, you can use two new properties Restrict file upload and Blacklisted extensions to whitelist and blacklist file extensions, respectively. See, Whitelisting and blacklisting file formats for more details.
