Release notes

Hi
Is there a way to export the release notes (now part of the Help System) into excel?
Thanks

    Search/Filter is not working for me either - if I search on the defect I am interested in (DEV-1873), I can see it was fixed in 15.1.3, but if I filter on 15.1.3, it does not appear in the results. I am struggling with how to actually figure out what we will be getting if we install the next service pack since we are currently on 15.1.2 without having to click through 105 pages of results in the help system.

    Yep.  This is the kind of thing I want to do and I've basically given up using the tool we have been provided called TableFilter.  I even tried writing regular expressions to try to make this work and did not really get what I wanted.

    Here is part of a conversation I was having back in September with Tessitura Staff.

    ...

    I’ll give things like "15.0 && !15.0.4 && !15.0.3 && !15.0.2 && !15.0.1” [as searches] a try. This is still getting a 14.0.x stuff ...
     

    As you pointed out.

    I might just have to get super geeky and do regular expressions.  
    After probably 100 attempts, I came up with this.
    rgx:/^((?!(14\.\d{1,2}\.\d{1,2}|15\.0\.[0-4][^0-9])).)*$/gm
    You can paste this into the https://regexr.com/ and have that explained.  The /gm on the end has to be set with the “Flags" on the left.

    This surpasses versions, 14.xx.xx through 15.0.4.  Any other lines this lets through.  I’m getting the harder cases like 15.0.11 on that tool.  Test data below.
    However, the regex in the tool provided by TableFilter does not work the same way. It may be missing the flags? “/     /gm" I’m also having a hard time figuring out what the character is between the lines.  I’m guessing that TableFilter is actually striping this and this is causing it to be more difficult to use a real regex command.   
    What I’m trying to make an informed decision about whether I should spend XX or so hours doing a service pack (15.0.11). ...
    1. If I’m on version 15.0.4 (or whatever) what things am I missing (what’s known to be busted in my version?)
    2. If I go to version 15.0.11 what will be fixed
    3. If I go to version 15.0.11 what is still busted.  Between 15.0.11 and the current released version(s) + any known defects
    4. If I go to version 15.1.3 what is still busted.
    5. What things are different between version 15.0.11 and 15.1.3.
    6. What are the known breaking fixes that I really have to work out how to fix.
    7. What am I getting for my time and effort in Service Packs? 
    8. What do I have to be super careful to test because it is a breaking fix?

    Hi Tom -

    We've actually made several enhancements since September, so you shouldn't have a need to use any of the regex from before. We had some data issues we were finally able to address, and that allowed us to implement a much simpler dropdown for fix versions. The dropdown will let you see a single version, as well as items between versions. And to keep it simple, since you can only jump to the latest SP, the search is limited to only showing you "v15.X - latest SP". These version dropdowns are in the defect lists as well. We've also added a dropdown for breaking changes in the release notes.

    Understandably, reading individual items line by line may not be for everyone, so there is always the option to see higher-level updates and changes by reviewing the What's New topic in the help systems, and by reading the summaries for each of the service packs (follow the link next to each release number).

    Thanks again for all your feedback on this, Tom. You, too, were integral in helping us implement the updates thus far for the rest of the community.

    ,

    I'm still having problems in some browsers with the search options not appearing. 

    Note in my Chrome Browser I do not have the opportunity to do searching.

    I thought for a bit that this might have been related to the setting "Block third-party cookies."

    Has any solved this problem?

  • $organization in reply to Tom Brown (Past Member)

    OK yes if you have this Block third-party cookies option on in Chrome you lose the ability to search.  If you turn it off this thrid party cookie protection And then close the browser window in order to have this setting stick in chrome.  The search feature will start to work again.

    Interesting, Tom. The only other time I've seen it is when there is a disconnect with the authentication to our website, without which you can't access the javascript files that support display of the form. We are making some updates shortly in those areas, so I'll keep an eye out to see if the problem continues. (I, too, have had the forms disappear, but only on 1 of my Chrome profiles on an iMac.)

    It is interesting to me that the "latest SP" seems to be defined at 15.1.8.  If I understand correctly 15.1.7 was just released and I can not install 15.1.8 at this time.  

    Is that a correct understanding?

  • $organization in reply to Tom Brown (Past Member)

    As defects are resolved they move from the Defect List to the Release Notes. This results in Bug Fix rows in the release notes for the forthcoming SP in addition to the latest SP. New Feature and Enhancement items are only listed for for published (i.e. not forthcoming) releases.

    15.1.8 has not yet been released, but you will find any defects resolved in that forthcoming release listed in the Release Notes now.
