Release notes for Canopy 3.2

3.2.3

This patch release contains a major improvement in the permissions system cache and how it is invalidated after changes, thus removing the delay in permission propagation on the backend.

Additionally we changed how Report workflow permissions are allocated and this requires a data migration which is not standard for our patch releases.

Warning

This patch release contains a data migration to correct Report workflow permissions.

Please perform a database backup before installation.

Backward incompatible changes

XML output and Mapping XML files for Reports and SoWs have been modified to add additional fields and correct some inconsistencies.

These changes will only affect users who have had issues with the fields mentioned.

Report Mapping XML

Remaining instances of template_finding_id were replaced with template_finding__reference on finding blocks and project_finding__reference/has_previous_versions added.

SoW Mapping XML

The location of scope content was moved from the scope block to the content element under each scope.

Report/SoW output XML

Report/SoW output XML gained the following fields on user blocks:

• external_id

• department

Additionally the address field was made consistent across all user blocks.

3.2.1

This patch release contains a critical bug fix (CAN-2420) that affected Canopy 3.1.0 up to and including 3.2.0

This defect resulted in the file importer incorrectly dropping examples with the same example content but with different meta data such as ports.

Canopy will now also drop root privileges when executed as root, this could affect the usage of Canopy management commands if files have incorrect permissions.
