May 2024
We upgraded! What's new? Learn more about new features, technical changes and solved bugs in 4App Digital Asset Management.
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 and Improvements
- Image Editor: When you click the "Edit picture" action in the detail view of an image, the file now opens in the new "Image editing" tab. Note that the "Image editing" tab is only available when an editing action is started.
- Comparison view: The preview image of a file is now displayed just above the file's metadata (outside the object renderer).
# Technical Changes & Admin Instructions
- High contrast theme: We have improved some elements in order to support the new high contrast theme.
# Solved Bugs
- Fix the non-sending of a notification e-mail after changing the additional permissions of a collection. The assigned users will now receive a notification e-mail.
# How to Get These Improvements
- Upgrade 4App DAM to version 4.9
- Dependency: Upgrade 4App Core Engine to version 4.9 and Essentials to version 4.6
