July 5, 2020 - version 2.20.42 -- Turbobridge UI updates

Comments:

We're rolling back some our (purported) improvements and adding a couple others we think will work better. The previous set wasn't quite magical enough, so this puts a bit more control in the hands of the meeting host and provides more info to call participants about what's happening when hosts mute or unmute them.

Changelog:

  • Remove TB speaker queue integration and add some user notification about admin muting.
  • Turbobridge: Stop using CTRL for push-to-talk and add F1 as mute/unmute toggle.

July 2, 2020 - version 2.20.41 -- Ongoing maintenance and feature updates

Comments:

Most of the changes in this release are the result of our continued performance profiling and work to remove scalability blocks.  We also made more update to the Turbobridge UI integration to support calls that only support one call modality (e.g., only web calls permitted or only SIP, etc.). It's a bit of an edge case, but some people prefer to de-feature the number of call options, rather than allow more.

Changelog:

  • API: add missing access for synch_outlook_mailboxes
  • Remove unique key from lucid_statistics schema; this key was removed via db update in 2014.
  • Guard against notes that do not have a room. Was killing the event_ts cron on meet.
  • Add a comment about intentionally falling through a switch case.
  • Guard against missing content-type header when retrieving files from back-end server
  • Tweak the Billing tab display for annual invoice accounts.
  • Fix content-type setting for uploaded images, and improve a lucifier error message
  • Improve support for Int'l only bridges and for single-audio TB options in general.

June 30, 2020 - version 2.20.40-- Ongoing maintenance and feature updates

Comments:

We've been working to update all our translatable strings, so that's mostly complete. We're also continuing work on the Office 365 synchronizer, which means development-driven API updates. For my part I've been focused pretty tightly on performance at all levels, so there's been a lot of inspection, tracing, and tuning regarding that.

Changelog:

  • Add the entity ID to the ACCESS DENIED message logged by the private API.
  • Stop auto-linking custom audio because we already do that in-meeting.
  • API: accept and convert start and until times for a meeting series when provided as timestamp or date
  • API: documentation tweak (case 11068)
  • Fix the sorting for audio options.
  • Update translatable strings.
  • Fix references to undefined arrays in API events.inc (csae 11081).
  • Fix a syntax error in events.inc (plus some WIP, currently no-op)
  • API: Add via_outlook_synch to events when the triggering action was made by the synchronizer.
  • API: provide the via_outlook_synch hint only to hooks requested by the synchronizer user.
  • API: Add outlook synch hint to events when the Outlook Add-in OAuth client was used for authentication
  • Cronify the rest api event notifier.
  • Remove Outlook room mapping for a room when the room is deleted. (case 11083)
  • Merge When_cleanup into default (case 11067)
  • API: corrections to synch_outlook_room_map (case 11083)
  • Correct a couple of things that caused rooms to be left behind when their account was deleted (cas
  • Make the room_ids in synch_outlook_room_map be integers.
  • Update the phone number in our Goodbye email
  • Fix typo in the api docs. 
  • API: fix erroneous calls to DateTime->setTimezone (case 11085)
  • Eliminate excessively long loop to get the next occurrence in a series. Could be better, but it was works
  • Save a few cycles when checking whether an occurrence is the last in its series
  • Only send attendee_added and invitee_added hook notifications if we've already notified about me
  • Removed deferred action for meeting->touchMyself(). This may make way more sense.
  • WIP on speeding up meeting startup time.
  • Put a link to the meeting history in the room Meetings tab drop-list
  • API: WIP on user-mailbox API for Outlook synch
  • Correct the cluster_proxy file_manager's behavior on missing S3 file (case 11088)
  • Add some caching for access check functions. It's about a 60% to 65% hit rate, which seems worthwhile
  • Take "Change Role" and "Remove Attendee" off menu for series invitees in an upcoming meeting;
  • Some perf tuning to improve room home loading time when viewing a list of meetings
  • Enforce an order on getMeetingsforSeries
  • Fix invalid variable reference in access function.
  • API: WIP on synch_outlook_mailboxes.
  • API: add pagination to synch_outlook_mailboxes
June 16, 2020 - version 2.20.39 -- Ongoing maintenance and feature updates

Comments:

March 6, 2020 - version 2.20.13 -- Ongoing maintenance and feature updates

Comments:

We put a change in the next release to re-enable editing of a meeting series schedule after the series has ended. Typical scenario being, the user wants to extend the series. It turns out the reason we disabled that was somewhat indirect -- we were removing the ability to mess with a bunch of things on past meetings, prompted by Elise's noticing that when you do that, you don't get prompted to send invitations again.

We added some little improvements -- when you extend an "expired" meeting series you will land on the next upcoming meeting, instead of the past one you started with, and I added a prompt to re-send the series invitations to the success message.

Bug fixes:

User-visible:

* Fix JS error after adding a new member to an organization. I

introduced this when removing footable SPF for some tables.

* Remove the optional password field from the add your organization form.

* Add "Add a URL" to agenda item editor for meeting templates

* Correct the download behavior for link attachments in the meeting template editor

* Fix broken facilitator guide upload for meeting template in a room (case 10999)

* Fix up the Add Meeting list in the top nav. Was missing some.

* Tune the permissions related to who can edit post-meeting content.

* Correct an error in recurrence descriptions, was putting wrong start date in invitation emails.

* Delete integration links when the associated integration_auth is deleted via drupal-side code; corrects a situation where Bascamp mappings were repeatedly lost.

Not user-visible:

* Stop calling the fullcontact API (issue with a google signup).

* Small change to set the member_id before calling fullcontact.

* Fix a bug found by inspection while performance profiling.

* Fix a little array merge bug I just introduced.

* Fix a user_access check.

* Fixed a user delete bug and made related changes associated with cascading deletes.

New features and changes:

* Improve UI for selecting timezone when scheduling or finding a

meeting time. (Add the chosen() widget to the timezone selector

for scheduling or finding a meeting time.)

* Add an attendance download button to the past meetings history page.

* Restore ability to change the schedule of a meeting series that has ended

* Restore the old behavior of account links going to the organization overview page instead of the rooms page.

* Allow meeting participants to edit post-meeting data under more circumstances

Subscriptions and Billing:

* WIP on allowing end users to to change their subscription plan.

* For enterprise billing count organization members instead of room members.

* WIP on showing billing for various org types

* Cleaning up the personal and business flex upgrade / downgrade paths.

Performance:

* WIP on UI scale.

* Minor WIP on performance for larger tables of data. Such as the org home w/tabs.

* Some WIP on UI scalability (footables mostly).

* Do not include the delete modal on room meetings page.

* Optimize the getting of followups to-be-sent for large numbers of meetings (room meetings page).

  • Extend the filter/pagination date selection to room notes and motions
  • Incidental tweaks to meeting model; meetings can lack an account_id (template meetings)

  • Improvements to how we determine which tags should be available in a room

  • Pep up the sickly grey in the daily and weekly emails

  • Handle emailed RSVPs a bit better

  • Improve MIME type detection for uploaded files

    • Improved password construction requirements and enforcement
    • Improved auto-logout for inactivity
    • Add more output filtering for XSS prevention
    • Continued tuning our web application firewall rules

Apart from all the work generally, the notable part here is that we're well into the Office 365 add-in verification process with Microsoft. We've made a few minor suggested changes and have resubmitted for (what we hope to be) the final manual review step.

Stay tuned for next month's update! We hope to be celebrating the new O365 add-in release :)

Cheers,

John
