Latest Release - Zextras Suite 3.0.7

Release Date: February 26th, 2020

Changelog

Backup

Issue ID: BCK-168

Title: Invalid failedItems detection during backup path initialization

Description: When the Backup Path is being initialized, deleting an item from a mailbox when the engine is backing it up returned an "Item not found" message since the list of items is fetched by the AccountVisitor at the beginning of the process.

Mobile

Issue ID: MOB-126

Title: Make optional the dump of actions and encoders in the sync.log.

Description: Added a new log level for both general NG logging and Account Loggers called trace, which is by all means equal to the pre-P7 debug level.

The debug log level has been changed so that it avoids logging action and encoder information to make it more readable.

Notes: To set the general NG Log Level to trace run:

zxsuite config server $(zmhostname) attribute ZxCore_LogLevel value -1

Issue ID: MOB-145

Title: Zimbra account logger to debug won’t show any zextras mobile action.

Description: When enabling Zimbra’s own debug account logger for a single account mobile actions weren’t logged as debug.

Issue ID: MOB-149

Title: Add 2 more items (16.0 and 16.1) to EAS protocol option

Description: With the addition of EAS 16.0/16.1 support, the relevant Admin Console drop-down selector must be updated accordingly

Notes: EAS16/16.1 is still in beta stage, so the default settings for all devices except for Samsungs remains EAS14.1

HSM

Issue ID: PS-169

Title: doMoveMailbox "Moved zimbra db items" always counts one item in excess

Description: A bug in the item counter caused it to be always 1 element off.

Issue ID: PS-175

Title: RemoveOrphanedBlobs operation delete blobs of items in dumpster

Description: The doRemoveOrphanedBlobs operation treats the blobs of items in the dumpster as orphans, thus deleting those and causing "Missing BLOB" errors to appear when volumes are checked.

Notes: We’ve received several reports of "Missing BLOB" errors in the past couple of months, this might not be the only cause thus we are still investigating all open cases, but it is surely the cause for some of the open escalations (e.g. #34960 and #34944).

This will fix the root cause of the issue, the "Missing BLOB" errors will gradually disappear with the Dumpster folder’s content turnover.

Drive

Issue ID: DRIV-29

Title: Drive search shows duplicated redundant results

Description: When a large number of search results is returned, the result list pagination fails causing blocks of duplicated entries to be loaded instead of the actual entries.

Issue ID: DRIV-30

Title: Drive search does not paginate if the zoom is too distant

Description: When a large number of search results is returned and entire first "page" of results is visible due to browser zoom settings, the result list pagination fails further results not to be displayed.

Issue ID: DRIV-99

Title: Duplicated menu items on 'New' click

Description: Under some specific conditions, each item in the "New" menu appears twice.

Issue ID: DRIV-394

Title: Drive copy button misbehaves when entering and then leaving a directory.

Description:

When i’m trying to copy a file in Drive, the "copy" confirmation button is initially disabled since it’s not possible to copy a file to the directory where it already is stored.

If i create a folder from the "Copy" popup, enter in it and then exit by clicking the "Home" breadcrumb, the copy button is not disabled anymore and i can perform the operation (which is successful)

Issue ID: DRIV-535

Title: Team chat root is visible even when user disabled its team zimlet.

Description: The "Team Sent Files" Drive root is visible even when the Zimlet is disabled and the root is empty.

Issue ID: DRIV-556

Title: Select a folder in advance search doesn’t enable the accept button

Description: When using the Advanced Search feature in Drive, clicking on the "Folder" option in the left menu and selecting a folder does not cause the "Accept" button to activate thus making it impossible to confirm the chosen folder.

Team

Issue ID: TEAMS-1073

Title: Right click does not work in IM input

Description: Right clicking in the text input area of Team is disabled, users are complaining about lack of the Right click → Paste feature.

Issue ID: TEAMS-1182

Title: Focus should remain on "Add participants"

Description: While creating a new group (probably also in space/channels), when a user select a contact the focus should remain on “Add participants" to simplify the addition of another one. Currently the focus is lost.

Issue ID: TEAMS-1199

Title: Avoid anonymous_access login with null credentials

Description: By joining an Instant Meeting with a valid email address/display name and then leaving the Instant Meeting while still active it was possible to re-join as null/null.

Issue ID: TEAMS-1226

Title: Using the Team Tab, a message longer than 4 rows doesn’t scroll down.

Description: When typing a long message in any chat input box within the Team tab, when the message reaches the 5th line no scrolling happened, effectively hiding the part of the message being actively written.

Notes: This only affected the Team Tab, the Mini Chat was not affected

Issue ID: TEAMS-1244

Title: Implement Send file (copy/paste case) with new async Clipboard api

Description: It is now possible to paste images directly into the Team chat box to send those as files.

Notes: This feature is released as Experimental, as due to the different combinations of use cases and platforms (OS + Browser) its behaviour might be inconsistent across the userbase and we reserve some time to evaluate possible workarounds to platforms that are not functional.

To date, copying images from an editor such as The Gimp and from a webpage works on all supported browsers and Operating Sysyems, with the exception of Firefox on OSX which does not support this feature in any scenario. Copying an image from the filesystem only works with Safari on OSX.
