New and Noteworthy in Gravity 8 Milestone 2

OAuth2 support for mail handling Support has been added to the mail handler for OAuth2 authentication when mail is being processed on Outlook or Gmail. The OAuth2 access token will be automatically retrieved for the mail server connection prior to accessing the mail server. The mail handler UI has been expanded to support an OAuth2 configuration.

GUI/Server issues/enhancements resolved

I2117 - Xref TD/OMS provider updated with Apache SCM v2.
The TD/OMS provider for Xref has been updated to use the same Apache SCM framework as the other Xref SCM providers.
I2118 - Xref svn (java) checkout can fail on Windows.
Xref SCM support has been extended with the svn-command type (relies on a system set SVN application). The svn-command type can be used when the default (java based) svn support is not compatible with a provided svn repository (location).
I2119 - Add OAUTH2 authentication to email handler.
The mail handler has been extended to enable Oauth2 support for Outlook 365 and Google Gmail.
I2120 - Add login block after too many consecutive failed login attempts.
Login attempts will be blocked if a user has too many failed logins. The general UI has 2 fields that can be configured to support login blocking.
I2121 - Fix for failure while testing Email Handler IMAP connection.
From the UI running a test connection for the IMAP configuration fails although the server does not fail using the same connection details.
I2123 - Fixed an exception in the ItemService after a User or Item update.
The exception would occur when an item or user was being updated but the caching server was not available.
I2125 - Fix to skip forced Xref indexing.
Xref does not have to check for indexing when locations are suspended.
I2126 - Fixed mail template exception while processing the user update event topic.
An exception could occur when a User event was being processed by the email service. The User template has been updated to take care of unset User fields.
I02211 - Added Xref indexing of IBMi message files.
Library message files are now included in the indexing process. Message files will be scanned for message id and the contents of the first level and second level text.
I2131 - Xref view does not expand a hit if the hit is the first line of the file.
The hit result of a find could not be expanded even though there was a line to be shown, this has now been fixed.
I2132 - Update server installer and scripts to include default certificates.
Gravity servers are now installed or updated with 3rd party certificates. First of these certificates is for the Microsoft online login site which is required for the email handler Oauth2 setup when configured for Microsoft.
