10/09/2023

Allow positive lower tolerance and/or negative upper tolerance for features with absolute tolerance mode enabled.
Allow editing part meta/tracing field values after submitting a part.
Translate API error messages.
Fix occasional server error when returning CMM data.
The interface language will now change immediately when the browser's language changes without requiring a page refresh.
The license name is now pre-filled in the feedback form linked from the user menu.
Internal client changes that should decrease browser memory consumption.

Server performance improvements.

Server 1.1.12

8/10/2023

Fixed the server error that occurred when creating new features.

Server 1.1.11, Client 1.1.11

8/02/2023

The decimal precision of entered measurements is now stored, so trailing zeroes are kept when displaying measurements. Measurements entered before installing this update will not have their decimal precision restored.
The order of parts in the feature table can be reversed (so that new parts appear on the left) by enabling the "Descending" switch above the table.
An audit log is now kept of most database modifications and deletions.
- Document, print, and feature audit logs can be viewed from their respective menus.
- Deleted objects can be restored from Global Settings → Trash.
User preferences are now stored in the database instead of in the browser, so the following options are now synced between computers:
- Feature table part order
- Feature table columns
- Document split direction
- Document split position
Users can now be deactivated so they can no longer log in, but their measurements remain attributed.
Users can now create their own API keys, allowing non-administrative access via the API.
Users can now edit their own profile from the user menu at the top right.
Added a Send Feedback button to the user menu.

Server 1.1.10, Client 1.1.10

7/28/2023

It is now possible to search for parts in a range of serial numbers as well as before or after a single serial number.
Documents can now be dragged into folders in the document browser.
The OnTakt machine drop-down in the document editor now shows the machine names correctly.

Server 1.1.9, Client 1.1.9

6/27/2023

Documents can now be organized into folders. Folders can be infinitely nested inside other folders.
The F#/f# notation for referencing other features in expressions has been replaced by $balloon. This means that only features with balloon labels set to valid identifiers can be referenced.
When inputting feature references, the reference list no longer opens to steals focus automatically. Instead, you can click the $ button in the input field or press Control + Space to open it.
If an expression fails to evaluate, a message now appears at the bottom of the screen for a few seconds instead of a popup blocking the entire screen until you click OK.
When creating or editing features, the lower tolerance is now automatically filled in with the negative of the upper tolerance.
The event bus connection is now closed when the session timeout dialog opens to free up a license seat. This means that clicking "Yes" now refreshes the page.
If fast user switching is off (default), the session timeout will automatically log out after a minute of no answer.
Up to 10 recent documents are now shown, up from 5.

Client 1.1.8

5/03/2023

Archived documents will now only be shown in the "recent documents" list if "include archived documents" is checked.

Added a confirmation dialog when opening an archived document.

Server 1.1.8, Client 1.1.7

4/19/2023

New features

Ballooned prints: prints can now be exported with balloons. The position and label of a balloon can be configured in the feature editor. Only features that have a balloon label will be ballooned on the print.
Remediation notes: features can specify instructions to be displayed after an inspection is completed if the feature is not evaluated as OK.
The selected print in a document is remembered when navigating away from the document and re-selected by default the next time the document is opened.

API changes

Feature position coordinates (print_left, print_right, print_top, and print_bottom) are now integers.
- All existing floating point values will be rounded to the nearest integer during the upgrade.
- Floating point coordinates sent to the server from now on (including the new balloon_x and balloon_y) will be rounded automatically before being saved to the database, so no client modifications are necessary to support this change.

Server 1.1.7, Client 1.1.6

3/22/2023

New features

Features' categorical options will now be copied when duplicating a document.
Documents can now be archived to hide them from the document browser's default view.
The print comparison window now allows moving both prints independently by dragging each one.
Release notes are now pulled from the knowledge base for only the current software versions.

Bugs fixed

Zooming in the print comparison window will no longer cause the old print to move off the page.
The sequence editor now fits better in small browser windows and scrolls correctly.
Duplicating or deleting the open document now navigates to the new copy or back to the document view instead of breaking the page.
Failed OnTakt background requests will no longer show a popup window.
Visiting documents without clicking them in the document browser (e.g. via bookmark or external link) will now still add them to the recent documents list.

Server 1.1.6

2/03/2023

Server 1.1.4, Client 1.1.4

12/20/2022

New feature: OnTakt part linking

In document settings:
1. Choose the machines that produce parts which are inspected in the document.
2. Define the format for entering part timestamps. This allows for automated entry with barcode scanners, for example.

Part metadata tracing fields and part features can now specify the name of a part variable in OnTakt.
When an OnTakt part is linked during inspection, these fields will be filled in with the values from the chosen part.
To link an Inspection part to an OnTakt part:
- During inspection: click "Find OnTakt Part" and enter the timestamp and time window to search.
- After inspection: expand the serial number dropdown and click "Match to OnTakt part" or "Rematch to OnTakt part" to accomplish the same task. Note that once the inspection has been submitted, fields will not be automatically filled from part variables.
If the same OnTakt part is inspected multiple times and linked to multiple Inspection parts, click "List all inspections of this part" in the part menu to see them.
If the OnTakt part linked during inspection is already flagged as scrapped, upon submitting the inspection there will be an option to update the scrapped and reworked part flags.
If an OnTakt part is linked during inspection and the overall result is not OK, upon submitting the inspection there will be an option to mark the OnTakt part as scrapped.

Bugs fixed

Missing features in the inspection wizard and tool usage viewer no longer cause rendering errors.
Fix server error when submitting an update to an existing measurement during "missing features" inspection.

Client 1.1.3

11/10/2022

New features

The user menu now has a link back to the services landing page.
When a server error occurs, the client will now offer to download the support file for it.

Bugs fixed

Serial number entry fields no longer evaluate as math expressions and cause server errors, and serial numbers with dashes will no longer be treated as subtraction.
The inspection review dialog will no longer show a very narrow notes field.
An invalid measurement expression will no longer result in stacked error dialogs.

Server 1.1.3, Client 1.1.2

11/09/2022

New features & improvements

The feature unit selection dropdown can now be searched by typing for faster selection.
The reports page now offers an interface to search for parts across all documents.
When referencing other features in an inspection while typing a value expression, features are now referenced by sequence number instead of ID. For example, typing F3 - F2 will now reference the features displayed as #3 and #2.
Spreadsheet export is now three times faster than before.

Bugs fixed

Rounding accuracy of math expression evaluation in the feature value field has been improved.
Relative tolerance mode is now visibly selected by default when creating a new feature.
The Microsoft Teams integration now supports new versions of Teams instead of causing an error.

Server 1.1.0, Client 1.1.0

8/16/2022

New features

Tolerances can be specified and displayed as relative (current behavior) or absolute, with format selection per-feature and automatic conversion between the two formats.
Notification channels can be defined in options and then selected in the document settings window. Existing SPC notification webhook URLs will be converted to notification channels named after the document they were set in.
When uploading images instead of PDFs as prints, they can now be overlay-compared with the existing print PDF.

Bugs fixed

Serial number auto-incrementing now increments by the document's inspection frequency instead of always incrementing by one.
Serial numbers are now sorted naturally, which fixes issues where non-numeric serial numbers appeared in the wrong order.
The "last part" is now the one with the highest serial number, not the most recently inspected.

Breaking changes

For API users: Document.notify_url has been removed. Use Document.notify_channel_id with NotifyChannel instead.
Some server code has been extracted and merged with redundant code from OnTakt into WPU, so there may be new bugs introduced for edge cases.

Print highlight boxes have slightly rounded corners so that they're easier to see on boxes with shaded backgrounds.

Bugs fixed

The inspection form was not clearing after submitting a part if that part triggered any SPC rules.
Listing the features that need inspecting was taking longer as more parts were inspected, but now it takes a fraction of a second no matter how many parts there are, so starting an inspection is much faster.
The inspection wizard would advance to the next feature even if the expression that was typed in failed to evaluate, but now it stays on the invalid feature so that it's faster to fix.
