The endpoint is disabled by default, no matter what protection modes
are enabled. If all are disabled, then the endpoint is not
protected (if enabled by an admin). Conversely, if all protection
modes are enabled, they all must succeed.
All protection modes should be off by default, so the user would
choose one. It is confusing, if a user enables one and doesn't realize
that another one is also enabled by default.
Invalid items are those that are not ready, and not shown to the user.
When changing metadata, it should only be changed, if the item was not
already shown to the user.
Applications running next to docspell may want a way to upload files
to any collective for integration purposes. This endpoint can be used
for this. It is disabled by default and can be enabled via the
configuration file.
Html and text files are not fixed to be UTF-8. The encoding is now
detected, which may not work for all files. Default/fallback will be
utf-8.
There is still a problem with mails that contain html parts not in
utf8 encoding. The mail text is always returned as a string and the
original encoding is lost. Then the html is stored using utf-8 bytes,
but wkhtmltopdf reads it using latin1. It seems that the `--encoding`
setting doesn't override encoding provided by the document.
Periodic tasks are special in that they are usually kept around and
started based on a schedule. A new component checks periodic tasks and
submits them in the queue once they are due.
In order to avoid duplicate periodic jobs, the tracker of a job is
used to store the periodic job id. Each time a periodic task is due,
it is first checked if there is a job running (or queued) for this
task.
The restriction that only pdf files can be uploaded is removed. All
files can now be uploaded. The processing may not process all. It is
still possible to restrict file uploads by types via a configuration.
The viewerJS library can display PDF files easily using pdfjs. Another
attachment route redirects to the viewerjs application to display the
current attachment.
The attachment responses have been improved in that now the response
headers are added to all responses. Additional a HEAD route has been
added to support the viewerJS application.
