v1.4.1

Bug fixing on the 1.4.0 release:

• fixes issue with initiating a workflow on a new content item where the item has a document-type workflow
• fixes issue where the content tree wasn't syncing correctly when saving a new node as part of initiating a workflow
• fixes issue where SignalR wasn't happy about permissions
• fixes issue where button shortcuts weren't re-bound when changing the buttons
• adds preview button to the action component
• shifts view attachment and view diffs buttons to card header
• updates to Danish translations
• updates to chart to return minimal data => lots faster to load
• updates release notes to display as html

v1.4.0

Here we go again... v.1.40 adds three new features to the already bulging bag of Plumber features...

• Group inheritance - inherit approval group membership from existing Umbraco groups. Why? This makes it quicker and easier to add Plumber to an existing site, where Umbraco groups have been used to control user responsibilities. It's possible to combine both inherited and explicit membership in the same approval group, so choosing one approach doesn't mean the other is off the table.
• Document attachments - attach a reference to a media item when initiating a new workflow process. Why? This allows users to attach documentation to their change request, to provide a more detailed audit history. In large organisations website updates are often made in response to feedback or a request from higher-ups. This change provides a mechanism for associating those requests with a workflow process.
• Optional publish workflows - more granular control splitting publish and unpublish workflows. Why? It's not always necessary to require workflow approval for unpublishing. These changes introduce a global setting for requiring unpublish workflows, and node and content-type configuration options to require (or not) workflow approval for unpublish actions. The global setting trumps the node/content-type setting, but the latter allows more granular control. Eventually, the goal is to allow different workflows for publish and unpublish, but this is a much larger change...

Additionally this release contains the usual bug fixes and improvements, including a thorough cleanup of state management to reduce HTTP requests and reduce the size of the returned objects.

The changelog below won't link into the private repository, nor do the commit messages provide much insight, but here it is anyway.

This list of changes was auto generated.

v1.3.9

Improvements to SQL queries and the repository layer - implements proper db-level paging, introduces slim models to avoid fetching/populating unused fields. Improves UI for task history, assorted bug fixes.

It's faster and more efficient - some API requests are an order of magnitude faster.

v1.3.8

A minor release, fixing license checks, exposing events, improving caching for settings and ensuring the content app is not displayed on nodes with no content app.

v1.3.7

Improves server-side events - created/updated now fire at more appropriate times. Improves publish cancellation handling - third-party cancellations are handled correctly. Cleans up some old CSS and simplifies footer button injection.

v1.3.6

Plumber now comes in Danish! Thanks to Jesper Weber for the translation efforts. All Plumber backoffice strings are now localised :)

v1.3.5

Bug fixing on 1.3.4: offline approval, localization, footer buttons. New: comment templates

v1.3.4

Includes a complete refactor of the licensing model - gone are subscriptions, here to stay are one-off licenses. Existing trial licenses should continue to work until the end of their license period, before reverting automatically to the new (default) trial license. Paid licenses have been simplified to a single price-point rather than multiple subscription types, to simplify code and the purchasing decision. Purchases are now completed off-site at https://this-red-wolf.s1.umbraco.io.

Upgrading from earlier versions is encouraged (more heartily than usual), as old third-party API endpoints no longer exist and will surface errors in the backoffice.

v1.2.1

Bug fixing on v1.2.0

v1.2.0

Rewrites the UI using es6 modules, replaces build with Gulp, prettier dashboards, better overlays, offline approval, content diffs and more.
