20200205-01 Release Notes
| Type | RFC/Ref. | From | Area | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| T | 202002-027 | 1.0.4.63 | System | Custom coded solution to Windows not placing the text cursor in the correct location on entry into a text field (e.g. in Popup searches, where the user may wish to continue typing after entry of a key on the previous popup/multi-value control). While Mac, Linux and Android correctly place the cursor after the last character, Windows based browsers place the cursor at the start of the text. ignoring text-selection requests. |
| T | 202002-026 | 1.0.4.62 | Catalogue | Added locking of popup and multi-value controls in Catalogue once a single character has been depressed to prevent additional characters randomly triggering multiple popup dialog loads, locking popup dialogs, rolling-character displays, inability to escape from the popup dialog, and several other issues caused by slow / delayed communications from the browser to the Mystic application. A browser side fault with a number of browsers, but particularly prevalent on MS Edge. To be rolled out to other dialogs (e.g. Readers) in next released, but the issue has not been displayed significantly outside Catalogue. |
| P | 202002-025 | 1.0.4.59 | MysticAIR | Added facility to use Invitations from different libraries from the same registered computer (e.g. siblings from different schools, both using Mystic). The ability to switch between readers is provided in the normal manner. |
| P | 202002-024 | 1.0.4.55 | MysticAIR | Release of the MysticAIR login system for home and anonymous access to Search and Issue & Return functions using invited registrations (no need for Usernames and passwords). |
| P | 202002-023 | 1.0.4.51 | Users | Updated saving of edited user record to update (if required) the name of the user within the Forum / Crow's Nest system in order to keep commenters real-names in synch. |
| P | 202002-022 | 1.0.4.51 | Workspace | Introduced display of the Mystic Splash landing page to the initial login, displaying real-time Mystic information from the Esferico website, as well as ability to turn on/off automatic display on login, and immediate display from the [Info] menu. |
| P | 202002-021 | 1.0.4.51 | Reports | Updated menu naming conventions to remove “Manage” prefix and “PRPT”, “LUA” and “PY” suffixes from plain-language display of report script names. |
| P | 202002-020 | 1.0.4.51 | Reports | Major recoding of the internal Report handling system in an attempt to make use of more end-user Browser features for displaying PDF files as an alternative to immediate download. NOTE: Browser handling of the display / download of files is increasingly fragmented (especially Chrome and Edge) for security reasons and users should experiment with the various options to determine which (e.g. display/print vs. download then display/print) work successfully in their own environment. |
| P | 202002-019 | 1.0.4.50 | Crow's Nest | Introduced the Crow's Nest observation and requests system under the [Info] menu for suitably authorised users (those permitted locally to access certain [Tools] functions), allowing reporting of system-based observations, faults and requests for change. This system should NOT be used for everyday procedural support, which should remain with 1st line support providers (usually SLS' etc.) |
| T | 202002-009 | 1.0.4.50 | General | Corrected identified issue in which iOS based browsers (inc. Safari, Chrome and Edge) fired keypress triggered searching PRIOR to updating the text field with the pressed key, resulting in the search criteria always being 1 character too short. Extensively recoded search mechanism to compensate. |
| P | 202002-008 | 1.0.4.48 | Policy | All new Mystic databases now changed to provide only Paperback and Hardback as pre-configured media types. |
| T | 202002-007 | 1.0.4.48 | General | Database engine returning dates in yyyymmdd format, as per SQL database standards. Changed internally to Mystic to force standard UK dd/mm/yyyy format. |
| T | 202002-006 | 1.0.4.48 | Readers | Incorrect default Circulations Profile returned when creating a new readers, therefore resulting in new, manually created readers not possessing the default profile. Corrected. |
| T | 202002-005 | 1.0.4.48 | General | CORRECTED - See 202002-009 - Issue with Apple iOS causing 1 character less than that typed to be passed to searches, therefore resulting in incorrect search criteria and results. Temporary cure - add an additional character (e.g. a space) to force the correct search criteria while investigation takes place with Apple. |
| T | 202002-004 | 1.0.4.48 | Readers | Added ability to prefix searches in the drop-down picker with “~” (tilde character) when the search is less than the normal minimum characters required, to force a search regardless when looking for abnormally short results. The tilde character is automatically removed from any actual search criteria / creation of new records. |
| T | 202002-003 | 1.0.4.48 | Readers | Added 'Confirm to abandon' request on trying to create a new Reader when still within a previously edited Reader. |
| P | 202002-002 | 1.0.4.48 | System | Upgrade to database engine. |
| P | 202002-001 | 1.0.4.48 | System | Switch to Xojo v2019r3.1 |
| Key | Meaning | |
|---|---|---|
| T | Identified by an internal beta tester, staff member or developer. | |
| S | Identified by client or support call incident. | |
| P | Planned changed to system parameters. | |
