Fixes and improvements

This release provides small fixes and improvements for scalability and various event-triggered jobs in scheduler.

• Bleve-indexed logs are now automatically sharded accross multiple indexes with a way to truncate them.
• Search engine analyzer language can be switched via configuration for a better support of bigram languages (cjk).
• Filesize displayed in HTML uploader is humanized
• [ED] Setting healthcheck port via ENV variable was failing
• [ED] Bootstrap "loading" logo is replaced by a neutral loader.
• [ED] CellsFlow (tech preview) provides a new job creation wizard, has improved form for setting user meta, and implements new event bindings and data filtering.

OAuth fixes and performances improvements

This release provides small bugfixes and a good performance improvement for datasources indexing large amount of files (>500k).

• Added a cache layer in the index service to lower pressure on DB for computing folder sizes. This greatly improves browsing performances for huge datasources.
• Fixed refresh token lifetime that was limited to 1h after switching authentication brick in v2.1. This would lead CellsSync to regularly require users to log in again.
• Fixed a small pagination issue where first page would miss a record
• Fixed resource policies panel when transfering share edition capabilities to other users
• Fixed multiple-tab support by creating a dedicated session for each tab.

Features Release

Cells v2.1 is an important milestone with a lot of attention put into performances, an Authentication module rewritten to get rid of networking configuration issues, and a revamped Cells Console.

Highlights

Main User Interface

• Rewrite of the Uploader UX - Fix inconsistencies in the start/pause/resume interactions
• New activity on metadata updated and on new comments
• Rework Bookmark and Activity panels
• New action button on Workspaces and Cells to directly bookmark or watch a whole workspace.
• Show exact Byte size when hovering human readable size in file info

Admin Dashboard

• Brand new look-n-feel, better menu organization
• Unified pagination, sorting and actions on tables, applied to all dashboards, added quick search on most dashboards
• Better log display, rework search engine to add various criteria, focus on a result and show +/-5 minutes logs
• Indexed logs including nano time for better sorting
• ListWorkspaces API optimization (bulk load graph dependencies)
• [Enterprise] New audit dashboard for exploring storage usage
• [Enterprise] Tech-preview for Admin pages delegation (contact us)
• [Enterprise] Tech-preview for scheduler jobs editor

Storage & Performances

• Huge speed up of move/rename folders
• New advanced options for managing ETags in datasources (use native ETags, compute ETags but store them on Cells side).
• S3-compatible storages : send stats in concurrency to speed up indexation, ability to use an S3-only setup at install time, rework S3 gateway to avoid creating .pydio and use amazon-like empty objects instead for folders.
• Ability to create a folder on filesystem directly within the datasource editor

Authentication

• Massive rewrite of the authentication module that greatly simplifies network flows (no more calls to external URL)
• Fixed case-sensitivity limitation on user/group search

Services startup, APIs and other

• Better error statuses on Rest API (detect lower-level code, special case for 503)
• Special value "unique" for --exclude and --tags parameters to exclude or start services that are declared as unique
• Fixed webDAV double auth request
• Automatically restart forks if necessary
• New optional flag to access nats statistics on a dedicated HTTP endpoint

Upgrade - Readme

Upgrading is done by replacing the binary with the latest version (via the in-app tool or manually). Some important notes:

• Changes are applied to both the data model and the configurations, thus reverting to an earlier version is not an easy task.
• During the first restart, database schema changes will apply and may take some time depending on index size. A second restart may be required If a datasource seems stuck or unavailable.
• AWS S3 datasources have been improved by getting rid of the ".pydio" hidden files and use AWS 0-bytes keys instead. This format change is applied automatically during the first indexation, and this can take some time as well.

We strongly encourage you to run the upgrade on a staging environment first, or at least to warn users that there will be a short downtime (if you need to restart the service a couple of times).

Hotfix release

This small release fixes two rare random crashes : one at startup when UX is loaded in concurrency with static resources read, and one when posting a message inside a Cell's chat when no other chats were previously created.

Upgrade is smooth as usual.

Bugfix Release

This release fixes random blocking issues when system is under high load :

• A possible false-negative during datasource indexation could lead to index DB to be wrongly updated,
• Performance issue on user deletion when there are plenty of users (also impacts public links activation/deactivation).

It also adds the ability to perform software update through a proxy using CELLS_UPDATE_HTTP_PROXY environment variable.

Cells 2.0.7 - Security release

This release fixes some vulnerabilities reported by independant researchers. Upgrade is highly recommended! CVEs are on their ways.

It also brings a couple of bugfixes (support for path in migration tool, display glitches in folders public links) and additional safety belts for indexation process.

Cells 2.0.6

This is a minor bugfix release. Upgrade is straight-forward and always recommended.

• [blocking] Issues with users connected through a third-party IdP : their own Cells would not appear in their list after creation,
  and their public shares could not enable upload permissions (uuid conflict issue inside external JWT)
• [improvement] The lock mechanism introduced in 2.0.5 during long move operations was improved (safer unlocking, override on insert if already exists)
