11.220: Technical Changes

The package manager has been updated so that packages can be provided in multiple major versions:
Packages are prepared accordingly for waveware UX and may require manual adjustments during installation. To prevent a package from being accidentally updated to a waveware UX version, the package manager has been updated to support major releases. A package can now exist in multiple major versions and can be updated separately within these major versions. All packages prepared for waveware UX will receive major version 12. Packages that are not prepared for waveware UX can still be accessed via major versions 11 or 10. Further information: 'DataManagement: Package Manager'

The existing Card Designer has been completely revised and redesigned. Furthermore, the Card Designer can be used to influence the display of fields on cards for the UX client. A grid system has been added, which now also allows for more complex designs.

Existing cards from the "classic" Designer are imported directly into the UX Card Designer and can be edited there. Incompatible designs are marked accordingly. While they will continue to display correctly, they will need to be adapted to be "UX-ready" in the long term. The adaptation can be done directly in the new Card Designer.

Important: This is a BETA version. Errors and limitations may occur. Further features (e.g., tables and complex fields) will be added with future releases.

There are two new hash attributes 'PageSize' and 'ChildPageSize' in the RubiErbApi that can be used in controls to set the number of records in a grid and in a detail/sub-grid, respectively.

Two new building blocks, 'Server.PrintCard' and 'Server.PrintCustom' , have been added to print the card of a record or a form without a user interface and rights check.

Advanced mode for temporary filters: The existing filter dialog for placeholder queries and temporary selection filters has been enhanced with an "advanced mode." In this mode, more complex filters (e.g., with parentheses) can be created and expanded. As soon as a filter contains parentheses, the advanced mode is always automatically used, as this functionality cannot be implemented in "simple mode."

Actions are now always displayed as an overlay at the end of a selection list. The previously used action column is no longer available. The old behavior remains in place in Accessible Mode.

Various adjustments have been made to the user interface of the Catalog Manager.

The tag display has been adjusted. Long tag paths are now displayed in a shortened format. Only the first parent tag and the actual tag name are displayed. Additional information is displayed on hover.
e.g., ME/.../Completed instead of ME/Devices/Tasks/Status/Completed

Unfortunately, the last version had some issues with the text editor in memo fields. These have now been fully resolved. Additionally, some buggy features (e.g., tables) have been temporarily disabled.

Print forms now display Markdown content correctly. Other UX areas still lack full integration of the rich text feature (e.g., Selection or Assist), but this is now being added step by step.

After updating to at least version 11.210.2647 (July '25), using the system package 'Predecessors and Successors' (1029) and certain configurations could result in an error message in the completion process: "The requested rule is invalid in this process." Updating to this version fixes the issue, but a rule migration is required if the following message appears: "Directly calling server rules is no longer permitted. Please check your packages for the rule 'PackageRegistration.Server.P1029.ChangeSetToDoneProcessModi' and move it to the path 'PackageRegistration.Always.P1029'."
