# Changelog
## v0.4.0
*Mar. 29, 2020*
- 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.
- Allow to switch between viewerjs PDF viewer or the browser's builtin
viewer.
- Bug fixes related to handling text files.
- Add a configurable length limit for text analysis
### 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
- new section `docspell.joex.text-analysis` for configuring the new
size limit
- The command for running `wkhtmltopdf` changed in that the encoding
is now added at runtime.
### 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*
- 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.
- Show the extracted information (text, labels, proposals) of an
attachment in the Webui.
- The name search now also searches in item notes.
- Bug fixed where it was possible to create invalid input when
creating new sources.
- Bug fixed where the item menu was not properly initialized for
equipments.
- The `ds.sh` script has now an option to check a file for existence
in docspell.
### Configuration Changes
The configuration of the joex component has been changed.
- removed `docspell.joex.extraction.allowed-content-types`
