- Version 5.45.0 requires a Re-Index, schedule a corresponding downtime of the system during the update. This version internally changes the indexing of the assets, which means that initially all assets have to be re-inquired from Easydb-Asset-Server. This means that the downtime for this update is longer than for previous releases.
- The database size has increased since this version as more information about assets is buffered in the easydb database by the EAS. This increases the backup dumps of the Postgresql database.
- Due to a very unfortunate combination of cache problems and new templates an error “Not all required elements were found for Template” could occur. This error appears in the browser cache due to outdated templates of easdb. We tried to mitigate the problem in 5.45.1. by giving the user a “Reload” option. This did not fix the problem completely, because the error reappeared with the next login. In 5.45.2. we go one step further and try to update the outdated templates automatically. If the error still persists, the cache of the affected browsers must be deleted manually. After that easydb should start and work as usual.

Web frontend
Improved
- The localization of connector settings and connector messages has been revised.
Fixed
- More robust processing of missing technical_metadata in the detail view with activated map view.
- An error in the zoomer led to an error message if you clicked on a new object with activated zoom without preview image.

Version 5.45.2
Published on 22.01.2019
Web frontend
New
- Internet Explorer 11 support ends with this release. easydb displays a warning message to inform users of this browser.
Improved
- Error handling for obsolete templates in the browser cache of users has been further improved.
Fixed
- Fix for the image zoomer, which showed a javascript error with incomplete metadata (see Server).
Server
Fixed
- In instances where /eas/rput was used to transfer files to, metadata was not completely updated, so the zoomer for images did not work and displayed a Javascript error. This fix fixes the problem in the server and automatically re-indexes the missing metadata.
Version 5.45.1
Published on 18.01.2019
Web frontend
New
- For panels, an automatic expansion in the text view can be defined in the mask editor.
Improved
- For errors that occur due to missing templates in the start page, the error output was changed so that users can reload the page, which then loads the missing templates from the server.
- An unfavorable constant reloading of maintenance messages was improved, so that less requests have to be sent to the server.
Fixed
- The detail view of connector objects with logging “View detail” switched on led to an error.
- If a maintenance message was set up in connection with an activated connector, an error could occur.
Server
Fixed
- The cache headers for the start page were previously kept too aggressively in the cache and were not updated when changes were made. This led in 5.45.0. with some users in connection with Chrome to a Javascript error which could no longer be clicked away.
