## v0.20.0
*Feb 19, 2021*
2021-02-18 23:53:04 +00:00
2021-03-09 19:47:16 +00:00
This release comes with a completely new ui based on
[tailwindcss](https://tailwindcss.com), including a dark theme!
2021-02-18 23:53:04 +00:00
Additionally there are some other minor features and bug fixes.
- New Web-UI with light and dark theme (#293).
2021-02-18 23:53:04 +00:00
- All markup and css was reworked. For this release, the old ui is
still available as a fallback if something got missing while
porting. The old ui will be removed in the next release.
- Experience on mobile devices is greatly improved
- to get back to the old ui, you need to install a browser extension
to be able to add a request header. Check [this for
firefox](https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/modheader-firefox/)
or [this for
chromium](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/modheader/idgpnmonknjnojddfkpgkljpfnnfcklj)
- then add the request header `Docspell-Ui` with value `1`.
Reloading the page gets you back the old ui.
- With new Web-UI, certain features and fixes were realized, but not
backported to the old ui:
- foldable sections in search and multi-edit menu (#613, #527)
- show current item in detail view (#369)
- fixed some ui issues regarding processing logs (#363)
- scrollbar fix (#600)
- Allow a person to be correspondent, concerning or both (#605)
- Add a short-name field to the organization (#560)
- Add a description field to the equipment (#633)
- Allow to specify a language for a source url (#651). This can be
used to define upload urls per document language.
- Trim whitespace for certain fields (#539)
- A different docker entrypoint for the consumedir script was added
that supports polling (thanks @JaCoB1123, #603, #624)
- Fix duplicate suggestions (#627)
- Fix reading mails with empty headers (#606)
- Fix suggesting person that doesn't belong to the suggested
organization (#625)
- Cleanup registered nodes periodically (#618)
### REST Api Changes
- The `Person` structure was changed: the `concerning` boolean flag is
replaced by a `use` attribute
- The `Equipment` structure has an additional `notes` attribute
- The `Source` structure has an additional `language` attribute
### Configuration Changes

## v0.19.0
2021-01-25 09:20:06 +00:00
*Jan 25, 2021*
2021-01-24 19:45:33 +00:00
This release comes with major improvements to the text analysis
module. It is now much more configurable, has improved results and can
2021-01-25 07:50:46 +00:00
learn tags from all categories. Additionally, more languages for
document processing have been added and it's now easier to add more.
Please open an issue if want more languages to be included.
2021-01-24 19:45:33 +00:00
- text analysis improvements (#263, #570)
- docspell can now learn from all your tag categories
- the detection for correspondents/concerned entities has been
improved by using the classifier for this, too
- all text analysis steps are now configurable that makes it
possible to adapt it better to your data and machine.
- The docs have been updated with some details
[here](https://docspell.org/docs/configure/#file-processing) and
[here](https://docspell.org/docs/joex/file-processing/#text-analysis).
- more languages (#488)
- Adds: Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Czech, Dutch, Danish, Finnish,
Norwegian, Swedish, Russian, Romanian
- languages have different support for text-analysis, but there is
2021-01-25 07:50:46 +00:00
some basic support for all
- there is extended support for English, German and French through
[Stanford CoreNLP](https://stanfordnlp.github.io/CoreNLP/) nlp
models (as before)
2021-01-24 19:45:33 +00:00
- scan mailbox change (#576)
- The change from last version (#551) has been moved behind a flag
in the "scan mailbox settings". Please review your scan mailbox
2021-01-25 07:50:46 +00:00
tasks in your user settings.
- The scan mailbox settings form view has been organized into tabs,
2021-01-24 19:45:33 +00:00
as it grew too large for a single form.
- nix tools package fixed (#584)
- If you are using docspell tools package for nix, it has now been
fixed in that all scripts are available. They are now all prefixed
by `ds-` (except the `ds` script)
- fix deleting organization (#578)
- Due to the new relationship of a person to an organization,
deleting an organization whith references a person was not
possible. This is now fixed.
- base url fix (#579)
- The `baseurl` setting is optional, but when specified it was
required to omit a trailing slash. This is now fixed in that it is
always rendered without the trailing slash to the client, no
matter what is in the config
- tag category case sensitive search fix (#568)
- This was a bug introduced by the last release. When tag categories
can now be spelled upper- or lower-case. In 0.18.0 you had to
spell them lowercase, otherwise the search doesn't work.
2021-01-25 07:50:46 +00:00
- adds a workaround for mails that don't specify their used charset (#591)
2021-01-24 19:45:33 +00:00
### Breaking Changes
- The joex configuration changed around text analysis. If you had some
custom settings there, please review these wrt the new default
config.
2021-01-25 07:50:46 +00:00
- When using the nix package manager: the tools package renamed the
scripts to be better distinguishable, since they all end up in
`$PATH`. They are now prefixed by `ds-`.
2021-01-24 19:45:33 +00:00
- The path of the consumedir script changed in the consumedir docker
image
- The settings of the scan-mailbox task has been extended by another
flag. It controls when to apply the post-processing (moving or
deleting). If you were relying that all mails (even those excluded
2021-01-25 07:50:46 +00:00
by a subject filter) where moved away, you need to check your
scan-mailbox task settings.
2021-01-24 19:45:33 +00:00
### REST Api Changes
- the data structure for `ClassifierSettings` changed to allow
specfiying a blacklist or whitelist of tag categories and the
`enabled` flag has been removed.
### Configuration Changes
- joex
- the config regarding text analysis changed, there are new config
options, like `nlp.mode` and the `max-due-date-years` has been
moved inside `text-anlysis`. Please have a look at the new
[default config](https://docspell.org/docs/configure/#joex) if you
changed something there.
2021-01-25 07:50:46 +00:00
- The `regex-ner` section has changed: the `enabled` flag has been
removed, you can now limit the number of entries using
`max-entries` to apply and `0` means to disable it.
2021-01-24 19:45:33 +00:00
2021-01-10 08:56:39 +00:00
## v0.18.0
*Jan 11, 2021*
2021-01-10 08:56:39 +00:00
- Feature: Results summary and updated tag count (#496, #333)
- A search summary can be displayed that shows the overall result
count and to each custom field with a numeric type (number or
money) small statistics like sum, average and max/min values. This
is useful when you track your expenses on invoices or receipts.
- This additional ui element can be enabled/disabled in your ui
settings.
- The result summary is now also used to update the tag counts in
the search menu according to the current results.
- Feature: password reset (#376,
[docs](https://docspell.org/docs/tools/reset-password/))
- Adds a new route for admins to reset the password of a user
- Admin users are those with access to the config file, the endpoint
requires to supply a secret from the config file.
- A bash script is provided for more convenient access.
- *Note this also moves the re-create index endpoint behind the same
secret!* See below.
- Feature: custom fields clickable (#514)
- The item detail view allows to click on tags to quickly find all
tagged items. This now works for custom fields, too.
- Feature: scroll independently (#541)
- The search menu can scroll now independent from the main area
containing the item cards.
- Improvement: improve attachment selection (#396)
- When selecting an attachment, it shows its preview to the name
instead of the name only
- Improvement: wildcard search for custom date fields (#550)
- Searching for custom field values allows to use a wildcard `*` at
beginning or end. This is also enabled for date-fields.
- Improvement: joex memory (#509)
- Joex currently requires a lot of memory to hold the NLP models.
After idling for some time, which can be configured and defaults
to 15 min, the NLP model cache is cleared. This reduces memory
load and makes it possible for the JVM to give it back to the OS.
- This is supposed to relieve memory consumption when idling only.
However, whether it is reclaimed by the OS depends on the JVM and
its settings. To observe it early, use the G1GC garbage collector.
This is enabled by default for JDK11. So it is recommended to use
JDK11 (which is used in the docker images).
- Improvement: allow scaling joex with docker-compose, thanks @bjeanes
(#552)
- This allows to easily start multiple joex containers via
`docker-compose`
- Improvement: allow to connect with gmail via app specific passwords
(#520)
- Imap settings have been extended to be able to specify if a OAuth2
should be used or not.
- Before, OAuth2 was the default when the server has advertised it.
*This has been changed now, which means you need to adapt your
IMAP settings if you currently use OAuth2*
- Fix: provide multiple possible date suggestions for English
documents (#561)
- Fix: add missing language files to joex docker image (#525)
- Fix: fix a bug that occurs when processing is restarted (i.e. after
a crash) (#530)
- Fix: fix a bug in the ui where the mail connection field was not
correctly updated (#524)
- Fix: fix bug when importing mails with an applied filter (#551)
### Breaking Changes
- Rest Server config:
- If you specify the `fulltext-search.recreate-key`, you need to
change your config. Delete it and use the secret now for the new
setting `admin-endpoint.secret`.
- routes
- The route to drop and recreate the fulltext search index has been
moved. It is now at `/admin/fts/reIndexAll`. The secret must now
provided as http header and not in the url.
- collective settings:
- The imap settings have a new flag which indicates whether OAuth2
auth mechanism should be prefered. This is `false` by default. If
you have used it with OAuth2 (like with gmail) you need either set
this flag to `true` manually or use an [application specific
password](https://docspell.org/docs/webapp/emailsettings/#via-app-specific-passwords).
### REST Api Changes
- Rest Server:
- Move endpoint `/open/fts/reIndexAll/{id}` to
`/admin/fts/reIndexAll`. The secret must now be specified via an
http header `Docspell-Admin-Secret`.
- Add `/admin/user/resetPassword` which requires a http header
`Docspell-Admin-Secret` with a value from the config file.
- Add `/sec/item/searchStats` to return a search result summary
- Changes `ImapSettings` to include a `useOAuth` flag
- Remove `fileCount` from the `TagCloud` structure
- The return value for `/sec/item/searchStats` now contains all
tags, before tags with `count == 0` were excluded
### Configuration Changes
- Rest Server:
- adds `admin-endpoint.secret` (without any value) that is the
secret for the new "admin endpoint"
- Removes `full-text-search.recreate-key`, the route that was using
this key is now moved in the admin endpoint and therefore shares
this secret now.
- Joex:
- adds `clear-stanford-nlp-interval = "15 minutes"` which is the
joex idle time to clear the nlp cache
2021-01-11 20:20:08 +00:00
- The default `pool-size` is set to 1. You can increase it on
stronger machines.

2020-12-15 19:25:51 +00:00
## v0.17.1
*Dec 15, 2020*
An unfortunate bug has made it into the previous release that makes
the webapp near unusable. Therefore this release, containing only the
fix for #508.
Sorry for the inconvenience!
2020-12-14 12:57:39 +00:00
## v0.17.0
*Dec 14, 2020*
This release comes with some smaller features:
- Feature: Remember-Me another cookie is used to provide a
remember-me functionality. The cookie is checked against some value
in the database, so an admin can always make all remember-me cookies
invalid. (#435)
- Feature: Link persons to organizations. In the address book, a
person can now be associated to an organzition. The dropdowns show a
little hint for which organization a person belongs to. Also
suggestions for persons are restricted to those of the organization
if that has been associated before. (#375)
- Feature: Allow to filter on source names. The search form can now
search by a source name. The new field can be hidden via ui settings
(it must be activated for exising users). (#390)
- Feature: Customize the title and subtitle of the item card in the
overview. You can now define patterns for the title and subtitle of
a card. (#429)
- Feature: Export your data. A bash script has been added that goes
through your items and downloads them all to disk (including their
metadata!). This can be used to periodically backup the data in
docspell.
- Improvement: The webui has been improved in that the search bar and
search form are unified regarding the text search. The two fields in
the form, allowing to search in names and fulltext, have been
combined into a single field just as the search bar. (#497)
This is the last release for 2020. I had hoped to put more into this,
but this time of the year is always a busy one ;-). I want to thank
you for your support and interest in this project and I wish you all a
joyful Christmas time!
### REST Api Changes
- The `Person` structure now takes a reference to the organization.
- `ItemSearch` is extended with the `source` field.
- `UserPass` is extended to include a `rememberMe` flag
### Configuration Changes
- Restserver:
- a `remember-me` section was added to the `auth` section
- Joex:
- a `cleanup-remember-me` section was added to the house-keeping
tasks.
2020-11-28 16:55:12 +00:00
## v0.16.0
*Nov 28, 2020*
This release brings the "custom metadata fields" feature. It allows
you to define custom fields and associate values to your items.
Additionally there are some ui and other fixes and improvements.
- Feature: Custom Fields define custom metadata fields an set values
for them on your items. For example, this can be used to track
invoice numbers, pagination stamps etc. Fields can be defined per
collective and carry a format (or type). (#41)
- Feature: The language has been added to the metadata of an upload
request and therefore overrides the collective's default language.
This means you can now set the document language with each document.
(#350)
- Feature: Show the currently logged in user and the collective in the
web app. (#329)
- Feature: Tag categories are presented as a dropdown, where you can
choose an existing one or type a new one. (#331)
- Feature: The dropdown fields for a person have been changed in that
the options are now restricted to the corresponding scope: the
correspondent person only shows persons *not* marked as concerning
and vice-versa. (#332)
- Feature: Add CC and BCC recipients to item mail (#481)
- The `consumedir.sh` scripts was improved:
- log a warning for all subfolders that currently wouldn't work due
to configuration problems
- ignore hidden files on linux (starting with a dot `.`)
- include the parameter `skipDuplicates` into the upload request
when the `-m` option is present
- Fixes a bug that prevented detecting dates in january (#480, thanks
@vanto!)
- Fixes updating search view after changes like deleting item in
multi-edit mode or updating tags via drag-and-drop.
The list of issues is
[here](https://github.com/eikek/docspell/milestone/3?closed=1).
### REST Api Changes
- `ItemSearch` is extended to allow searching for custom field values
- `/sec/item/{id}/customfield` route to set values for custom fields
- `/sec/item/{id}/customfield/{fieldId}` route to delete values for
custom fields on an item
- `/sec/items/customfield`, `/sec/items/customfieldremove` routes to
set/remove custom field values for multiple items
- `/sec/customfield` routes to manage custom fields
- A lanugage field has been added to `ItemUploadMeta` and
`ScanMailboxSettings`
- Added `cc` and `bcc` fields to `SimpleMail`
### Configuration Changes
None.

This release adds the "preview feature", where a thumbnail of the
first page of each attachment can be shown in the overview. Additional
there are some bugfixes and UI improvements.
- Feature: create a thumbnail of every file. The scale factor can be
configured in the config file. The user can choose in the ui, what
size to display and whether to display it or not. (#327)
- Feature: Display the number of pages in the overview (#325)
- Feature: Extend the upload request to allow to specify a file filter
and a list of tags (#346, #385):
- file filter: this is a glob that selects files when an archive
file (a zip or e-mail file) is uploaded
- tag list: allows to specify a list of tags that are automatically
set on the item that is being created
- these two settings are added to the scan-mailbox form and the
source-form
- Feature: Filter mails to import by subject (#384)
- Feature: Add quick links to item-detail and overview to jump to a
specific search view; e.g. click on correspondent takes you to the
overview with this correspondent selected in the search menu (#355)
- Improved css assets (#349)
- Moved from [Semantic-UI](https://semantic-ui.com/) to
[Fomantic-UI](https://fomantic-ui.com/), which is an actively
maintained fork of the former
- Removed the request to obtain a google font. Now you can use
docspell without hassle in environments without internet
connection
- jquery could be dropped as a js dependency
- This is a foundation for adding/changing themes eventually.
- Improved ui for multi select mode when selecting items
- Fix a bug when creating new scan-mailbox settings (#382)

- `ItemLight` has an additional `attachments` list containing basic
infos about the associated attachments
### Configuration Change
- Joex: `….extraction.preview.dpi` to specify the dpi to use when
creating the thumbnail. Higher value results in better quality
images, but also larger ones
- Joex: `….convert.converted-filename-part` to specify the part that

## v0.12.0
2020-10-19 12:15:29 +00:00
*Sep 28, 2020*
2020-09-27 11:12:50 +00:00
Thanks to a lot of great input from users, this release fixes
annoyances in the ui.
- Improve startup experience wrt the `base-url` setting. Docspell now
uses request headers to determine absolute urls if this setting is
unchanged. (#250)
- Fixes scrolling issues when going from detail to list view and vice
versa. (#254)
- Fix quick search component to keep search term between changes.
(#261)
- Docspell now provides a valid manifest to be an installable "pwa".
- Fixes `consumedir.sh` script to work with whitespace in filenames.
(#269)
- Fix hidden fields feature. Hidden fields are now resetted when
clicking *Confirm*. (#256)
- Improve *Save Name* in item detail: The save button is removed and
changes are saved while typing. (#255)
- Add keyboard shortcuts in item detail for navigating and
confirm/unconfirm. (#225)
- Detect duplicate files server side. The processing task is now able
to detect duplicate files to skip them if desired. The ui has a new
checkbox when uploading. (#252)
- Improve view of many attachments to an item: The tab menu is
replaced by a dropdown menu that allows to change attachments also
on small screens and/or when there are many attachments.
### Configuration Changes
- No changes to default config values.
### REST Api Changes
- Amend `ItemUploadMeta` with a `skipDuplicates` flag for ignoring
duplicate files on processing.
2020-09-09 19:44:44 +00:00
## v0.11.1
*Sep 09, 2020*
This is a bugfix release. The full-text-index requires a schema
upgrade for the added language that got lost in the previous release.
2020-09-07 12:13:50 +00:00
## v0.11.0
*Sep 07, 2020*
This release didn't change much on the surface, but contains a lot of
improvements for processing files.
- Improves the recognition of correspondents and people in the
documents. Until now, the analyser didn't know about the existing
organizations/people of a collective. Now this data is given to the
analyser as input which results in a higher accuracy when finding
matches. This may result in high memory usage depending on the size
2020-09-09 19:44:44 +00:00
of the collective data and therefore can be disabled in the config
file.
2020-09-07 12:13:50 +00:00
- Adds text classification. Docspell can now learn from your existing
tagged items. Given a tag category, a statistical model is created
from your existing documents and used to predict a tag (of that
category) for new documents. Creating this model may need a lot of
memory and therefore text classification can be disabled globally
via the config file. Additionally each collective can enable/disable
it. Learning is done periodically via a user-task that can be
configured in the collective settings.
- Adds the language french, supported for text extraction and text
analysis.
- Fixes some build failures that produced artifcats with source files.
- Change the job priority of any waiting job from the *Processing*
page.
- Serving static asset files gzipped, to reduce bandwidth
### Configuration Changes
- New settings in `joex.analysis.regex-ner`, `….classification` and
`….working-dir` for the classifier and NER feature.
- New setting in `server.show-classification-settings` to hide/show
the classifier settings on the *Collective Settings* page. If
classification is disabled globally (i.e. from all joex instances),
the feature can be hidden from the users.
### REST Api Changes
- `/sec/collective/classifier/startonce` to start the learning task
separately from the schedule.
- `/sec/queue/{id}/priority` for setting a new priority of a job (only
for jobs in waiting state)
- The `CollectiveSettings` object is amended with a new
`ClassifierSetting` object.
2020-08-13 21:46:21 +00:00
## v0.10.0
2020-08-14 21:41:54 +00:00
*Aug 15, 2020*
2020-08-13 21:46:21 +00:00
- Lots of web ui improvements:
- Rework the search menu for [tags and
folders](https://docspell.org/docs/webapp/finding/#tags-tag-categories):
The dropdown field is removed for tags and folders. They are
represented as a list and items can be cycled through to be
included/excluded or deselected. It is possible to use
drag-and-drop to associate tags to items and put items into
folders.
- Rework page that displays sources; allow to copy the urls and add
a qr code
- Add item notes to the cards in the list view, can be configured if
2020-08-14 21:04:23 +00:00
it is shown or not (#186, #201)
- Improve how the item notes are displayed in the item detail view
(#186, #192)
2020-08-13 21:46:21 +00:00
- Fix the *Load more…* button
2020-08-14 21:04:23 +00:00
- Allow to search by tag categories (#203)
2020-08-13 21:46:21 +00:00
- Allow to edit metadata in item detail view. Until now it was only
2020-08-14 21:04:23 +00:00
possible to add new metadata (#205)
2020-08-13 21:46:21 +00:00
- Do not cover the whole screen with the metadata modal dialog, only
the menu is now covered so that it is possible to select text from
2020-08-14 21:04:23 +00:00
the document (#205)
2020-08-13 21:46:21 +00:00
- Allow to hide some fields from the menus. What fields to display
2020-08-14 21:04:23 +00:00
can be configured in the ui settings (#195)
2020-08-13 21:46:21 +00:00
- Implemented some routes that were specified in the openapi, but have
not been implemented so far
- Fix source upload routes where it didn't check whether a source is
enabled or not. Further checks are now done as first step to not
upload the file into memory for nothing if something fails (e.g. the
source doesn't exist)
- Re-process files. A
[route](https://docspell.org/openapi/docspell-openapi.html#api-Item-secItemItemIdReprocessPost)
has been added that submits files for re-processing. It is possible
to re-process some files of an item or all. There is no UI for this
for now. You'd need to run `curl` or something manually to trigger
it. It will replace all extracted metadata of the *files*,but
2020-08-14 21:04:23 +00:00
doesn't touch the metadata of the item. (#206)
2020-08-13 21:46:21 +00:00
- Add a task to convert all pdfs using the
[OCRMyPdf](https://github.com/jbarlow83/OCRmyPDF) tool that can be
used in docspell since the last release. This task converts all your
existing PDFs into a PDF/A type pdf including the OCR-ed text layer.
There is no UI to trigger this task, but a
[script](https://docspell.org/docs/tools/convert-all-pdf/) is
2020-08-14 21:04:23 +00:00
provided to help with it. (#206)
2020-08-13 21:46:21 +00:00
- There is now an [Android Client
App](https://github.com/docspell/android-client) to conveniently
upload files from your android devices
### Configuration Changes
- New setting `docspell.server.max-note-length` to specify how much of
the item notes should be transeferred with each search result.
### REST Api Changes
- Added `/sec/collective/tagcloud` to return all used tags of a
collective. This is the same as returned from the `insights` route,
but without all the other data.
- Added `/sec/item/convertallpdfs` to trigger a task for converting
all currently unconverted pdfs
- Added `/sec/item/{id}/taglink` for associating tags given by name or
id
- Added `/sec/item/{id}/tagtoggle` for toggling tags given by name or
id
- Added `/sec/item/{id}/reprocess` for submitting an item for being
re-processed
2020-08-01 12:39:23 +00:00
## v0.9.0
2020-08-01 13:02:23 +00:00
*Aug 1st, 2020*
2020-08-01 12:39:23 +00:00
- New feature: folders. Users can create folders and put items into
them. Folders can have members (users of the collective) and search
results are restricted to items that are in no folder or in a folder
where current user is a member. (see #21)
- Folders can be given to the upload request.
- Add ocrmypdf utility to convert pdf->pdf with ocr-ed text layer.
- Extract PDF metadata and use the *keywords* to search for tags and
apply them to the item during processing. (See #175)
- Fix duplicate results when doing fulltext only searches
- Several small bug fixes and improvements in the UI
- Fix position of datepicker (see #186)
- Fix race condition when updating calendar-event field
- Sort tags by count in collective-insights view
- Simplify search bar
- New website
### Configuration Changes
- Joex: add a section `docspell.joex.convert.ocrmypdf` for configuring
the ocrmypdf tool.
- Joex: change default value of `….extraction.pdf.min-text-len` from
10 to 500.
### REST Api Changes
- Add `/sec/folder/*` routes for managing folders.
- Add `/sec/item/{id}/folder` for updating an item folder.
- Change `ItemSearch` structure to be able to search for items in a
specific folder.
- Change `ItemDetail` and `ItemLight` structure, adding the item folder
- Change `ItemUploadMeta` structure, adding a folder id field.

2020-06-28 12:44:11 +00:00
## v0.8.0
*June 29, 2020*
2020-06-28 12:44:11 +00:00
- Adds the [full-text
2020-08-21 22:25:31 +00:00
search](https://docspell.org/docs/webapp/finding/#full-text-search)
feature (see #69). It requires a separate
2020-06-28 12:44:11 +00:00
[Solr](https://lucene.apache.org/solr) instance. Items can be
searched by documents contents and item/file names. It is possible
to use full-text search to further confine the results via the
search menu.
- Fixes column types for item date and due-date for MariaDB (see #158)
and adds an upper limit for due-dates (which is configurable).
- Fixes a bug when cancelling jobs. Stuck jobs were only removed from
the queue, but their cancel routine was not called.
- Changes in cancelling process-item jobs: the item will still be
created and not removed.
2020-06-28 12:44:11 +00:00
- Fixes a bug where items could not be deleted if there were sent
mails attached.
- Fixes the openapi spec for the joex component. This made the
generated live documentation unusable.
2020-06-28 12:44:11 +00:00
- Changes to the `consumedir.sh` script:
- Allow to recursively watch or traverse directories
- Allow it to work with the integration endpoint. This allows using
`consumedir.sh` for all collectives.
- The docker setup now starts a solr container automatically and
configures the consumedir container to use the integration endpoint.
It is still necessary to define an environment variable.
### Configuration Changes
- Set new default for `docspell.server.max-item-page-size` to `200`.
- New `full-text-search` section for restserver and joex.
### REST Api Changes
- Add `/open/fts/reIndexAll/{key}` to re-index the full-text search
index. The `key` must be defined in the config file, so only admins
can execute this.
- Add `/sec/fts/reIndex` to allow a collective to re-index their data
only.
- Add `/open/integration/checkfile/{id}/{checksum}` to check whether a
file is in docspell via the integration endpoint.
- Add `/sec/item/searchIndex` to allow searching the full-text index
only. This route returns the results as ordered by SOLR and not
ordered by date.
- The `ItemSearch` input data is extended to support the new full-text
search field.
- The `ItemLight` result structure now can contain "highlighting"
information that is provided by the full-text search index.
2020-06-14 20:20:27 +00:00
## v0.7.0
2020-06-17 19:59:06 +00:00
*June 17, 2020*
2020-06-14 20:20:27 +00:00
- Document integration endpoint and add a `GET` route to check it.
- Add webui settings for the user. These settings only apply to the
web client and are stored in the browser's local storage.
- Enable paging in the item list view. The page size can be set in the
new client settings. If the number of results is equal to this size,
a button at the end of the page allows to load more.
- The item list now contains all tags of an item.
- The tag colors can be customized in the client settings. A color per
tag *category* can be defined.
- New meta data (tags, correspondents, concerned entities) can be
created directly in the item detail view (see #138). No need to
navigate away to the *Manage Data* page.
- Fixes a bug in the dropdown widgets that would present items that
have already been selected.
- Allow to have multiple notify-due-items tasks.
- New *simple search* feature: The list view now appears without the
search menu by default. A search bar is shown instead that allows to
search in item name and notes and in names of correspondents and
concerned entities. The search menu can be opened as before. The
*name* search field now only searches in item names (as before
0.3.0), i.e. it doesn't search item notes anymore, which is now
possible with the *allNames* search field.
- Fixes a bug where a search term was not lower-cased but compared to
a lower-cased value (see #147).
2020-06-14 20:20:27 +00:00
- Allow to change names of attachments.
- Document how to create a SMTP gateway to docspell and provide a
simple docker based setup. This is a SMTP server that delivers mails
to docspell instead of using a mbox or maildir. It utilises the
integration endpoint.
### Configuration Changes
- Add `docspell.server.max-item-page-size` for a hard limit of the
page size when fetching items.
- Changed default value of
`docspell.server.integration-endpoint.allowed-ips.enabled` to
`false`.
- Add `docspell.server.backend.mail-debug` to allow debug mail related
problems.
### REST Api Changes
- Add `GET /open/integration/item/{id}` to allow checking the
integration endpoint.
- Change all routes to update item properties (name, tags, direction,
corrOrg, corrPerson, concPerson, concEquipment, notes, date,
duedate) from `POST` to `PUT`.
- Add corresponding `POST` routes to create and update meta data in
one call. This is only applicable: corrOrg, corrPerson, tags,
concPerson, concEquipment.
- Add `POST /sec/attachment/{id}/name` to change the name of an
attachment.
- Change `/sec/usertask/notifydueitems` to return a list of
notification settings.
- Change the `POST` route to `/sec/usertask/notifydueitems` to only
create new notification tasks.
- Add a `PUT` route to `/sec/usertask/notifydueitems` to update
existing notification tasks.
- Add a `GET` and `DELETE` route to
`/sec/usertask/notifydueitems/{id}` to retrieve or delete a specific
notification task.
- The `ItemSearch` structure is extended to allow specifying `offset`
and `limit` for paging (which is required now). It also has an
optional property `allNames` to provide the search term for the new
*simple search* feature.
- The `ItemLight` structure has now a list of tags.
2020-05-22 21:49:07 +00:00
## v0.6.0
2020-05-25 15:20:30 +00:00
*May 25th, 2020*
2020-05-22 21:49:07 +00:00
- New feature "Scan Mailboxes". Docspell can now read mailboxes
periodically to import your mails.
2020-05-23 12:27:56 +00:00
- New feature "Integration Endpoint". Allows an admin to upload files
to any collective using a separate endpoint.
2020-05-24 10:04:39 +00:00
- New feature: add files to existing items.
2020-05-24 15:50:28 +00:00
- New feature: reorder attachments via drag and drop.
2020-05-24 10:04:39 +00:00
- The document list on the front-page has been rewritten. The table is
removed and documents are now presented in a “card view”.
- Amend the mail-to-pdf conversion to include the e-mail date.
- When processing e-mails, set the item date automatically from the
received-date in the mail.
- Fixes regarding character encodings when reading e-mails.
2020-05-22 21:49:07 +00:00
- Fix the `find-by-checksum` route that, given a sha256 checksum,
returns whether there is such a file in docspell. It falsely
returned `false` although documents existed.
- Fix webapp for mobile devices.
- Fix the search menu to remember dates in fields. When going back
from an item detail to the front-page, the search menu remembers the
last state, but dates were cleared.
2020-05-24 10:04:39 +00:00
- Fix redirecting `/` only to `/app`.
2020-05-22 21:49:07 +00:00
### Configuration Changes
2020-05-23 12:27:56 +00:00
The joex and rest-server component have new config sections:
2020-05-22 21:49:07 +00:00
- Add `docspell.joex.mail-debug` flag to enable debugging e-mail
related code. This is only useful if you encounter problems
connecting to mail servers.
- Add `docspell.joex.user-tasks` with a `scan-mailbox` section to
configure the new scan-mailbox user task.
- Add `docspell.joex.files` section that is the same as the
corresponding section in the rest server config.
2020-06-14 20:20:27 +00:00
- Add `docspell.server.integration-endpoint` with sub-sections to
2020-05-23 12:27:56 +00:00
configure an endpoint for uploading files for admin users.
2020-05-22 21:49:07 +00:00
### REST Api Changes
- Change `/sec/email/settings` to `/sec/email/settings/smtp`
- Add `/sec/email/settings/imap`
- Add `/sec/usertask/scanmailbox` routes to configure one or more
scan-mailbox tasks
2020-05-23 12:27:56 +00:00
- The data used in `/sec/collective/settings` was extended with a
boolean value to enable/disable the "integration endpoint" for a
collective.
2020-05-24 15:50:28 +00:00
- Add `/sec/item/{itemId}/attachment/movebefore` to move an attachment
before another.
2020-05-22 21:49:07 +00:00
2020-03-28 22:49:15 +00:00
## v0.5.0
2020-04-30 20:01:22 +00:00
*May 1st, 2020*
2020-03-28 22:49:15 +00:00
2020-04-26 21:04:03 +00:00
- Allow to delete attachments of an item.
2020-04-21 21:09:29 +00:00
- Allow to be notified via e-mail for items with a due date. This uses
the periodic-task framework introduced in the last release.
2020-04-17 22:26:41 +00:00
- Fix issues when converting HTML with unkown links. This especially
happens with e-mails that contain images to attachments.
- Fix various issues when importing e-mail files, for example:
2020-04-17 22:26:41 +00:00
- fixes encoding problems for mails without explicit transfer encoding
- add meta info (from, to, subject) to the converted pdf document
- clean html mails to remove unwanted content (like javascript)
- Fix classpath issue with javax.mail vs jakarta.mail
2020-03-28 22:49:15 +00:00
### Configuration Changes
The Joex component has config changes:
- A new section `send-mail` containing a `List-Id` e-mail header to
use. Use an empty string (the default) to avoid setting such header.
This header is only applied for notification mails.
## v0.4.0
2020-03-28 15:35:28 +00:00
*Mar. 29, 2020*
2020-03-20 22:01:50 +00:00
- Support for archive files. Archives, for example zip files, contain
the files that should go into docspell. Docspell now extracts
archives and adds the content to an item. The extraction process is
recursive, so there may be zip files in zip files. File types
supported:
- `zip` every file inside is added to one item as attachment
- `eml` (RCF822 E-Mail files) E-mails are considered archives, since
they may contain multiple files (body and attachments).
- Periodic Tasks framework: Docspell can now run tasks periodically
based on a schedule. This is not yet exposed to the user, but there
are some system cleanup jobs to start with.
- Improvement of the text analysis. For my test files there was a
increase in accuracy by about 10%.
2020-03-20 22:01:50 +00:00
- A due date that is found during text analysis is now set on the
item. If multiple due dates are found, the earliest one is used.
- Allow to switch between viewerjs PDF viewer or the browser's builtin
viewer.
2020-03-27 18:47:55 +00:00
- Bug fixes related to handling text files.
2020-03-27 21:58:36 +00:00
- Add a configurable length limit for text analysis
2020-03-22 20:39:17 +00:00
### Configuration Changes
The configuration of the joex component has been changed.
- new section `docspell.joex.periodic-scheduler` for configuring the
periodic scheduler
- new section `docspell.joex.house-keeping` for configuring
house-keeping tasks
2020-03-27 21:58:36 +00:00
- new section `docspell.joex.text-analysis` for configuring the new
size limit
2020-03-27 18:47:55 +00:00
- The command for running `wkhtmltopdf` changed in that the encoding
is now added at runtime.
2020-03-22 20:39:17 +00:00
### REST Api Changes
The REST Api has some additions:
- new route to retrieve the archive file
- add field in `ItemDetail` data that refers to the archive files of
the attachments

## v0.3.0
*Mar. 1, 2020*
2020-02-27 22:58:43 +00:00
- Support for many more document types has been added (including
images and office documents). All input files are converted into PDF
files (the original file is preserved).
- PDF Text extraction improved by omitting OCR if text can be
stripped.
- There is a new PDF viewer (utilizing viewerjs) that also works in
mobile browsers.
- Improve editing notes: Since notes may evolve, there is now a larger
edit form and a markdown preview.
