New features

This release contains the following new features:

Microsoft Entra ID support	Support has been added to enable Drive connections to Azure Blob Storage using Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure AD) with client secret credentials. When the `ebx.addon.dama.azure.tenant.id`, `ebx.addon.dama.azure.client.id`, and `ebx.addon.dama.azure.client.secret` properties are set, the connector authenticates via Entra ID. Otherwise, credentials default back to a storage account key. This added support enhances security (least privilege, rotation, auditability) by avoiding broad shared key usage. See the Azure connection documentation for details. See also Connecting to Azure (authentication methods)
Improved metadata display	The Digital asset information tab now shows additional metadata: file size, image width, and image height. Size is displayed in human-readable units (e.g., 1024KB → 1MB, 1024MB → 1GB). For image and video assets, width and height are shown when available.
Usability improvements	Improvements in this release include: Users can now perform folder management actions directly in the Folder navigation pane without leaving the view. This streamlines common workflows and reduces context switching. Available actions include: Creating a new folder in a specific Drive. Creating a new subfolder inside a folder. Editing a folder name. Deleting a folder (subject to permissions). Users can now rapidly de-select assets in the Manage digital assets screen. Clicking anywhere in the workspace outside of asset thumbnails, or list rows now clears the current asset and folder selection.
Asset metadata synchronization	Asset metadata background synchronization has been included for assets added via a third-party server. This ensures the Digital asset information tab displays accurate dimensions for externally synchronized assets and improves consistency across Drives.
Font mapping support	Support has been introduced for custom Chinese, Japanese, Korean (CJK) font mapping in document previews. Administrators can provide a font mapping JSON file via the `ebx.addon.dama.cjk.font.mapping.file.path` property to map CJK font names to installed system fonts. This improves text rendering quality and coverage for CJK in DOCX-to-PDF conversion and other document preview workflows. See also Configuring CJK Font Mapping

Attention

As the add-on is undergoing revision, the documentation's images and descriptions of some components might not exactly match the current UI.

Changes in Functionality

Generating an asset permalink now opens a pop-up dialog showing the URL in a read-only field with a copy action and feedback. Previously, permalinks were generated silently without a dialog.

Changes to third-party libraries

This release contains the following changes to third-party libraries:

Added com.drewnoakes:metadata-extractor dependency at version 2.19.0 to improve image and media metadata extraction (dimensions, EXIF).
The Apache Commons Lang library was updated to version 3.20.0.
io.netty:netty-all was updated to version 4.2.9.Final.
com.azure:azure-identity was updated to version 1.18.1.
Jackson Core was updated to version 2.21.1.
Jakarta Servlet was updated to version 6.0.

Closed Issues

This release contains the following closed issues:

[EBXDAMA-1763] Assets are uploaded normally even when navigate away before clicking Upload or Upload and attach.
[EBXDAMA-2715] When using the REST API and updating or creating a record with no attached assets, the getAttachment response is incorrect.
[EBXDAMA-2989] When a preview cannot be generated, the No preview available screen should display instead of a file not found error.
[EBXDAMA-3109] The collapse/expand icon is missing in record details view when using the list view to display thumbnails.
[EBXDAMA-3123] The tooltip for the File size column in the Digital asset version table is incorrect.

Known Issues

This release contains the following known issues:

[EBXDAMA-751] After a media type field is set to Hidden in all views and the data model is published, it is no longer possible to upload or edit assets in that field. This issue occurs even after permissions are set back to Visible in all views and the model is re-published.
[EBXDAMA-2583] The add-on is not stable when deployed on a WebLogic application server. Fatal errors can occur when trying to use the add-on's services. The root cause is under investigation.
[EBXDAMA-2646] When uploading assest from a Connector, the add-on is not able to recognize duplicate assets that were uploaded (not using the add-on) to an externally managed server.
[EBXDAMA-2894] It is possible that some DOCX file previews might not generate when Microsoft Word is not installed. This is due to missing font files.
[EBXDAMA-3056] If the Cancel button is clicked during a delete operation on 100 or more assets, the operation is not cancelled and assets are still deleted.
[EBXDAMA-3057] When attempting to delete assets from 2 Drives in the same operation and one of the Drive's has an authentication issue, the displayed result states that all deletions failed. However, some assets are still deleted and the asset thumbnails in the UI display a File not found error.
[EBXDAMA-3084] In certain cases the add-on is not able to preview DOCX files. This can occur when the file contains invalid characters, or unsupported elements, such as charts, floating tables, or other complex elements.
[EBXDAMA-3085] In instances where PPTX files contain complex shapes, the add-on cannot generate a preview. This is due to a third-party technical limitation.
[EBXDAMA-3086] The first time a large file is previewed, users might experience a delay while the preview is generated.
Searching for assets in the media-type field using quick search is not supported. However, when previewing some file types, such as PDFs, you can search for text within the file.
The configuration is not updated for the supported file extensions after users access the Digital Asset Manager widget.
Document previews cannot display Vietnamese text.
When accessing assets in an external Drive, error messages may display when selecting all assets. This can be the result of access limitations put in place by the third-party tool.
Thumbnails of some uploaded SVG files do not display correctly.
Previews of PPT, PPTX, DOC and DOCX files cannot display charts due to a limitation of the library used to generate the preview.
