# Changelog

## v0.4.0 

*unknown*

- 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%.
- 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.

### 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

  the attachments


## v0.3.0

- Support for many more document types has been added (including

  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.

  attachment in the Webui.
