GR:Gravity/New and Noteworthy/V4.1/Summary

V4.1 Final

Added status to Xref location in configuration UI	The Xref configuration UI will now show the status of a location. The status, represented by an icon, can have 4 states, scheduled, indexing, indexed and error.

Drill down from an Xref hit	From the Xref result view it is now possible to run an Xref search using the base file name of a hit. Specifically for 'source is the class/program name' type files this option allows you to quickly navigate through source files from the IDE.

Match Xref hit to workspace file	If possible Xref will match an Xref hit to a workspace file in the IDE. If a match has been made then the soure file's project name will be shown in the hit entry (in black instead of blue). Double clicking on the hit will open the linked workspace file.

Other issues/enhancements resolved

• I1920 - in the Xref hit view not all required bold text fields were being displayed in bold text
• I1921 - added fetch user by name to user admin REST service
• I1923 - Xref cfg UI, do not allow refresh if page is dirty
• I1926 - language type not cleared on load from history in advanced query

V4.0 Milestone 3

Xref supports an IFS directory or IBMi native library as an Xref location	Xref will checkout files from an IFS directory or library. If a library is defined then only source file types will be checked out (excluding the following types: CLE, CLP, LF, SAVF, TAPF, CMNF, DKTF, DSPF, ICFF and PRTF).

Add Xref location from TD/OMS Route Navigator (Beta)	Xref can now process a location that is an extract of an application's route(s). Route files will be checked out from the TD/OMS repository and added to the Xref repository.

Updated search indexer with latest indexing libraries	With the Search indexer library update there is better support indexing files received as document attachments (PDF, Word, images etc). The update als resolves the issue where the search indexer was not able to process all types of PDFs.

• I1907 - fixed xref query unresponsiveness if an involved xref location has been removed

V4.0 Milestone 2

Stripping text from a received email	The internal mail-handler reply stripping is only applied to an email that is a comment, it will not be applied to a new email. If you also need to strip new emails then you can now use the custom quote reply regex to apply stripping on new emails received by the mail-handler.

Users are now direct member of Group	In the earlier version a user can be connected to a group as basic, required or inactive member. These group-member types are no more in use by the current version, a user has become a direct element of the group.

Item transfer to stage with special users read authorization	An item can now be transferred to a stage with specials users read authorization. Special users can be creator, reporter, assignee or contributor of the item(to be trasferred).

V4.0 Milestone 1

Email user licensing	For a user accessing Gravity only through email (Gravity email handler) then it is no longer necessary to register the user to a license. Licensing will be done through the base server license mechanism which will enable and check the number of users making use of the email handler.

Advanced Cross reference Query Dialog	A new advanced cross reference query dialog has been created that adds definition and symbol to the query search (Query Definition). The dialog also has the option to select the locations (repositories) and filter the files against which the query will be run (Query Filter). For easy reference to previously run queries there is a Query History section from which it is possible to load a query.

Define/Update/Delete a Cross reference definition

As an extension of a the Xref Query functionality an Xref defintion is an advanced Xref query that can contain 1 or more placeholders (<#>) for runtime variable substition. This construct will allow users to select a value from a view or editor and have it run against an Xref definition. In essence the Xref definiton describes the search query, query attributes and which locations are to be used for the query.
