To upgrade an existing PhixFlow instance:

  2. Ensure you have a backup of the database before upgrading PhixFlow.

Improvements

DEV-8709  PhixFlow now treats user roles and privileges as instance-specific. Exports from a PhixFlow instance no longer include the references between user groups and users. When you import to another instance, for local and mixed users:

  • existing local and mixed users retain their roles and privileges unchanged
  • any new local or mixed uses that are added do not have roles or privileges set by the import process.

DEV-8666  The detailed user list now includes the user name as well the login name.

DEV-8438  New and reset passwords that use the default password policy must now meet the following requirements:

RequirementWasNow
Number of characters610
Upper case-1
Lower case-1
Special-1

DEV-8351  For Excel templates,  PhixFlow can now read an attribute from a pipe to construct the sheet name. Use an expression with the form {pipe_name:attribute}; see File Exporter Excel Multi-input.

Bug Fixes

DEV-8693  Categoric line graphs now display correctly.

DEV-8705  Pie charts now correctly handle decimal places for DECIMAL attributes.

DEV-8694  Adding an percentage aggregate attribute now works correctly.

DEV-8635  Using the fieldCondition() function to filter null values now works correctly.

DEV-8644  Using a filter created with a fieldCondition()function that has the wrong attribute type, no longer causes an error.

DEV-8340  The File Name field has been removed from the image properties, as it is not needed.

DEV-8678  The Disable option has been removed from the repository context menu for external users, as it is not needed.

DEV-8377  The server ping functionality at http://server:port/PhixFlowInstance/ping.htm has been restored.

DEV-8380   The phixflow-datasource.xml.example file → externalCredential bean has been corrected to replace the placeholder text "demo" with:

  • for usernameKey: username
  • for passwordKey: password.
  • No labels
