   Release notes for version 10.0.12.

The following changes and or features were added

• Mantis 1091 - Added ability to search UDF results using udf:<response> and it will seach ANY/ALL UDFs for that response. The ability to search specific UDF fields already existed by searching <fieldname>:<response> or just <fieldname>: For example if the field was named "Staff" then you could search "Staff:" and find all with that flag. If a field was named "Species" you could search "Species:Civet" and find all civets.
• Mantis 1090 - Corrected issue where dictated user defined fields were not saving correctly especially when there were no user defined fields set to display items. System now properly handles kiosks where user defined fields are simply set to dictated.
• Mantis 1089 - Added a new user defined field type "regex" that will allow you to create a user defined field that can be validated before saving using regular expressions.
• Changed behaviour of kiosk; if you choose the user defined field step in kiosk configuration but choose NO settings or fields to set up, the default behaviour has changed from displaying all available user defined fields to the user, to not displaying anything to the user and silently moving onto the next step.
• Updated user defined fields to support random assignment of list items.
• Updated user defined fields, allow the use of blank() to force-erase the value that may have previously existed for a user defined field.
• Updated user defined fields, now field_defined can become the "default value" for fields that are being displayed. This means that users can set a default value but allow users to change that value.
• Updated the field editor to include links to the ability to view the raw data and graph data of the fields.

Upgrading

Before starting an upgrade, we recommend that you backup your Convention Master database and files.

To perform the upgrade, run a Subversion update in the folder that contains your Convention Master installation:

$ svn up /path/to/convention_master

When this has completed, log in to the staff console [yoursite.com/console] with an account that has the "Perform DB and System Upgrades" permission to automatically trigger any pending schema updates. DO NOT FORGET THIS STEP, otherwise it will leave your install in a locked upgrade state.

For fuller/more complete information on upgrading your Convention Master installation, please see our upgrade documentation.
