Releasing on 17 January 2025, version 13.7.1 brings with it a set of improvements to various components.
Below is a summary of all changes specific to the v13.7.1 release.
1. Features
The features and updates listed below are the primary enhancements within this release.
Feature | Benefit |
Session descriptor page in Middleware now contains a link to download session export files. | Session export files can now be accessed directly from Middleware, providing an easy link to files such as reports. The most common expected use case for this feature would be instances where a mail notification contains report attachments that exceed the maximum allowable size; in this case an administrator can download the attachments from Middleware and send them to the user. |
When using SMTP for mail notifications, it is now possible to configure an account email address that is different from the account username. | Previously the same value was used for both the account email address and the account username. It is now possible to configure separate values for SMTP accounts that require it, which is not common. |
When using SendGrid for mail notifications, the use case of providing a CC address but no TO address is now supported. | Previously this configuration was supported when using an SMTP mail account but not when using SendGrid. Note that the only way to create a mail notification with this configuration is by manual creation in server script, which is not common. |
