Core Engine Release 4.31

April 2025

We upgraded! What's new? Learn more about new features, technical changes and solved bugs in 4App Core Engine.

Note on upgrading: If you skip a version when upgrading, check all release and patch notes in between for important information. They apply cumulative. Note on individualization: If your 4ALLPORTAL is highly customized or if you installed individual apps, please contact your implementation partner before upgrading. We recommend checking your custom contents, especially layouts and object renderers, carefully after an upgrade.

New Features

New Logging Filter Options: Configuration and Deprecation

Administrators can now filter application log entries by configuration errors, such as might occur in object renderer, layout, snap-in or other configuration files, and deprecation warnings. In addition to the existing Warning and Error types, the new "Configuration" and "Deprecation" subtypes can be selected in the filter of admin snap-in Protocol overview > Application logs.
Files affected by configuration errors, their paths and possible causes of the error are available in the detail view of an error.

Improvements

• Accessibility: We have improved the structure of input fields and forms with ARIA tags and roles in the background. This allows screenreaders to recognize and read out the different elements contextually.

Technical Changes & Admin Instructions

New field user_license_type

We have added new database field user_license_type to the ce_role module for an upcoming feature. Existing and new roles are automatically assigned the type default.
