This article shows the details of the release v0.9.0
Following a list of all changes which are included with the v0.9.0 release.
New Variable Access Right Checks
For each variable it's now possible to define the access (hide, read, write or change) for specific rights. When the user has none of the defined rights, it's granted the defined default access right (null uuid right) or hide. When the user cas multiple available access rights matching the requirement of the variable, the highest right will be applied.
When a user has no right to access a variable database quieries will not return this variable anymore. When for specific use-cases the variable is needed within a service, execute the queries with sudo (exo::db::set_sudo(true);
).
Reduced the amount of OOTB record variables
Until this release every record had 17 OOTB variables (uuid, ident, version, model, name, description, status, locked, released, values, access_right, icon, highlight_color, calendar_start, calendar_end, stations, children). These OOTB variables needed to be loaded everytime for each record independently if used or not. Additionally all OOTB variables are always complety loaded from the database and send to the client.
To improve the performance and provide a better access control for the data of a record the following variables are not OOTB available anymore (name, description, status, icon, highlight_color, calendar_start, calendar_end, children). This also impacts scripting and code like record.name = exo::Language::new()
is now deprecated. Instead the function record.set_salue()
should be used.
Existing models and records will be automatically updated and these variables continue to exist as custom variables. New created models will not automatically include these variables anymore. These pervious default variables continue to keep their specific requirements for the value typ, when defined manually:
- name -> Language
- description -> Language
- status -> Selection
- icon -> Icon
- highlight_color -> Color
- calendar_start -> DateTime
- calendar_end -> DateTime
- children -> Table
