Features

Product Features

Change Detection

• Added timestamps for start, completion, and failure of full scans and regular change detections in the "change-detection.log" file, with process durations in milliseconds. Change detection logs are available when troubleshooting settings are enabled.

Enterprise Data Stream

• Added a warning message if the Planview SQL repository is configured with a MySQL database connection.

Extensions

• Added a public API for extension deletion.

Installers

• The Linux .bin installer is distributed to all customers instead of the .tar.gz archive. Given the previous hub installation path, the installer will overwrite the package while retaining some files. Please see the Upgrade Notes.

Metrics Dashboard

• Cumulative Artifact Processing Count has been removed from the metrics page.
• Updated the usage overview report to split the activity metrics into two sections: Activity without EDS Integrations and Activity with EDS Integrations.
• The Calculated ROI and Artifacts Processed counts on the Metrics screen no longer include Enterprise Data Stream activity by default. If you'd like to include Enterprise Data Stream activity, there is a new checkbox you can select.

Models

• Model fields can now be renamed without causing invalid field mappings or disabling field flow.

Product Upgrades

• Used the Hub version as the artifact handle version.
