Version 4.2.18

Released: December 9, 2023

This version includes fixes backported from series 4.3, 4.4, 4.5, and 4.6dev0.

Changes

Dependencies

Updated dependency versions:

• Django from version 3.2.19 to 3.2.23.
• PyYAML from version 5.4.1 to 6.0.1.
• [drf-yasg]{.pre} from version 1.20.0 to 1.21.7.

DevOps

Updated the GitLab CI deployment stage to not install the Docker runtime. The staging and demo environments are expected to already have Docker installed.

Docker

Use the Mayan EDMS CLI script full path in DockerFile. This avoid command resolution issues in some situations.

Updated the Docker image entrypoint.sh to skip changing the ownership of files if MAYAN_COMMON_DISABLE_LOCAL_STORAGE is set to any truthy value (True, true, T, t, Yes, yes, Y, y, 1).

Documents

Fixed the document file page search content field label. This issue did not affect search function, only the label of the field in the search form.

Used the correct field when sorting document file pages.

File caching

Updated the cache and cache partition purge loop to continue executing even when there are files that cannot be purged. Cache partition files will be skipped and retried on the next purge execution.

Mailing

Added missing mailing profile default field to creation and edit forms.

Metadata

Fixed the select2 widget of the metadata edit workflow action form.

Sources

Backported minor source periodic task changes.

Storages

Fixed the add_file method of the TarArchive class.

Testing

Fixed test that were asserting for True values instead of asserting for equality.
