Release Notes

CenterView 3.0.2 Build 1670
--------------

- The context-specific help in CenterView Builder did not work in Windows using IE7.  Whenever any help button was selected, the main help page was opened instead of the page related to the button.
- ldap.Port and ldap.Base from dashboardserver.properties could not be set in the Administrator. Now, when you go into the list of dashboards and manage the auth plugins, you can enter LDAP information in the edit screen.
- Dashboards with open access, but with restricted pages were showing only the restricted pages and not the open access dashboard.
- Enhancement: CenterView now alerts you when you enter invalid values in the script editor dialog. You can choose to keep the value or change it to one of the options in the list of valid values.
- When converting true type fonts in CenterView Builder and using them in an image template, CenterView Server's embedded Corda Server would show an error in the log. Now, a dialog displays saying that CenterView Server needs to be restarted for the new fonts to be useable in the CenterView Builder preview.
- Made some minor improvements to the example dashboards.
- If you have a table with a data-view that "skips" a row (or more), then the top row was styled wrong.
- If there was an instance of the Tomcat server already running, Tomcat would exit with no warning. Now, Tomcat displays a message and exits.
- A combination of rowpans and colspans caused Highwire to throw an error.
- Enhancement: Added the ability to edit the condition of an if or elseif using the built-in editor.
- Improved and made corrections to the Tutorial documentation.
- In the Welcome dashboard on Safari, pressing Enter after entering the user name and password would not select the Login button and log you in.
- CenterView Administration-only install would display a "File not found exception".
- The link in the notification email only had the machine name, not a full DNS name.  Now the full DNS name is displayed.
- Enhancement: Added ability to create database aliases for an XMLA datasource.
- Password field was showing as clear text when setting up XMLA connection in Builder.
- When using Internet Explorer 6, the font/fontsize in the KPI's could appear larger than when using either FireFox or Internet Explorer 7.
- A custom layout grid was not saved or restored with an archive.
- Moved EXT menu styles from Menubar.css into individual theme.csx files. You may need to modify your theme.csx file. For more information, see <CenterView_install_directory>/readme.txt.
- Adding running-row-head to a table with pagination in header and footer did not format table correctly.
- Series Note Text did not work as expected in CenterView. Now, noteboxes are no longer listed as textbox items when you change from the Image Template Editor to the main CenterView Builder.
- Enhancement: Added better alerts for any table conversion errors.
- Copying the hex code in dashboard-->theme-->css-properties-->detailed-css-properties was causing problems with the dashboard colors.

- Conversion backup dashboards (in Server/doc_root/dashboards_old directory) were displaying in the Administration dashboard list when they should not.

- Submit buttons were not submitting when pressing the Enter key.
- Preview Object in the Image Template Editor was not working for dynamic objects.

- "On print" control settings did not work with advanced-form-controls on.
- "On print: Text" did not work properly for check boxes.
- If you add an apply to the footer-view with the row='last' and col='last', the keyword "last" did not get applied.

- Some performance improvements were made.
- Data that was in the default data and NOT in the datafunnel was showing up on graph.
- Enhancement: On Windows server platforms, we recommend that you install a full version of PostgreSQL. This solves the issue with Postgresql not starting on Windows server machines as an administrative user. See the installation program for instructions.

- Enhancement: The console logs now output timing information for how long it takes to process serverscript, do database queries, etc.
- Null values that were coming from a database broke the dashboard page.
- Enhancement: There is a new clear-css-formatting checkbox in the html object that enables/disables the wrapping of the content inside a <DIV class="corda-html-block" > ... </DIV> tag.

- CenterView Builder did not list grid as a choice when it should.
- In the Table Wizard when adding a row to the footer, could not edit it (enter data into it) if it was the top row in the footer.
- There were problems with colSum in a table's apply tag.
- Doing an advanced reinstall of CenterView to a directory that already has a full install could display a number of null pointer exceptions and other related java errors.

Refer to the readme.txt file and product documentation for more information
about the many new features in this release.  

There are numerous bug fixes in this release.  Check the website at
www.corda.com for a more complete list.

- The default RMI port was changed from 1099 to 2021.
- The default database that comes installed changed from Hypersonic HSQLDB to
  PostgreSQL.
- DBAlias connections did not recover after being killed.
- Empty datafunnels produced bothersome errors in the kpi console.

  places.

- The hover text on a Donut graph displayed in many odd places.
- Copying an item (e.g. shape) from within a group of a corda-image, and
  pasting it did not clear the relative bounds formulas.

  "crosshairs".
