Version 1.7.0

Part-DB 1.7.0

Attention: This version introduces an update checking mechanism, which can show an update notification on the homepage for administrators, whenever a new version of Part-DB is available. For this Part-DB queries the Github API of this repository for the latest release every 2 days. No data besides the required ones for a network connection (so your public IP address) is send to Github. If you dont want that, or if your server can not reach the internet, you can disable that by setting the CHECK_FOR_UPDATES env to 0.

If you are using Part-DB, it would be nice when you participate in this (Google Forms) user survey.

Changes

• Access to the homepage is now restricted, if a user has no permissions. So if the anonymous user is set to forbid all, non-logged in visitors of your home will now just see a login dialog instead of the homepage (see issue Remove all content when not logged in #290)
• Part-DB now sets x-robots-tag (unless in demo mode) to prevent search engines to index the Part-DB instances

New features

• New version notification on homepage and server info page
• Added invert selection button for part table selections (issue Reverse the selection #346)
• Added option to ignore the required amount of parts for project builds, and always use the amounts given by the user (issue Allow build with extra component or less #349)

Bugfixes

• Fixed import of PartKeepr databases with storage location attachments (issue PartKeepr to Part-DB migration in docker #334)
• Use the same sorting of tables, when switching pages (issue Sorting works badly #345)
• Prevent administrators to accidentally lock themselves out of the user editor, by using the permission preset on himself
• Fixed creation of builds part (issue The "Associated builds part" button does not associate my project with a buids part #348)
• Fixed wrong positioning of the datatables checkbox ticks

Miscellaneous

• Updated dependencies
• Improved documentation

New Contributors

• @ajw287 made their first contribution in Update installation_guide-debian.md #352
• @tbornon made their first contribution in Fix wrong environment variable name #355
