| IMAGSYS-4753 | A known issue introduced in CAST Imaging 2.8.0-funcrel has been fixed. In 2.8.0-funcrel, a new entry (HTTP_ENDPOINT) was added to the imagingetl.bat (Windows) or etl/app.config (Docker) file to support the new license key format. This entry was not automatically added during the upgrade to 2.8.0-funcrel, which meant that users attempting to import applications after upgrading were blocked with an invalid license key error. The mitigation for this issue is described in https://doc.castsoftware.com/display/IMAGING/2.8.0-funcrel+only+-+Manual+update+for+instances+running+on+custom+front-end+port. This known issue is fixed in 2.8.1-funcrel in which the addition of the HTTP_ENDPOINT entry is now performed automatically during the upgrade from any previous release (including 2.8.0-funcrel). In addition the syntax of the HTTP_ENDPOINT entry has been updated in 2.8.1-funcrel and no longer uses the CAST Imaging front-end URL, instead the entry uses the URL of the login service (http://localhost:8084). Note that if the login service uses a custom port, this will also be taken into account during the upgrade process. |
| IMAGSYS-4754 | Upgraded Neo4j to 4.3.10 which includes Log4j 2.17.1 |

New Features
Feature Improvements
| Summary | Details |
|---|
| UI - Preferences - Object Search filter defaults | In the Preferences panel, a new option called "Objects Search filter" has been added. These options allow you to set default options for the All Application search: changing an option in the Preferences panel will reflect when using the All Application search. See https://doc.castsoftware.com/display/IMAGING/Configuring+display+preferences#Configuringdisplaypreferences-ObjectsSearchfilter. |
| UI - Preferences redesign | The Preferences dialog UI has been redesigned to improve usability. See https://doc.castsoftware.com/display/IMAGING/Configuring+display+preferences. |
| UI - CAST license key integration - Admin Center | The license key panel has been redesigned to accommodate a new type of global license key that is being progressively introduced. The new CAST license key restricts the number of users based on the license info, and no restriction is imposed on import of applications. See also https://doc.castsoftware.com/display/IMAGING/Admin+Center+-+License+management+panel. |
| UI - Transaction and Data Call Graph filter improvements | The UI for Transaction and Data Call Graph filters will now render the list of matching items alongside the filters, after selection of filters and clicking the 'DONE' button. Search bar will enable searching for Transaction/Data Call Graph from the list and clicking on any Transaction/Data Call Graph will load the item in the view. See https://doc.castsoftware.com/display/IMAGING/User+Guide+-+Transaction+scope#UserGuideTransactionscope-Filteringthelistofavailabletransactions and https://doc.castsoftware.com/display/IMAGING/User+Guide+-+Data+Call+Graph+scope#UserGuideDataCallGraphscope-Filteringthelistofavailabledatacallgraphs. |
| UI - Error handling messages improvement | The error handling messages have been redesigned: a message box is now displayed instead of a banner at the bottom of the screen. See https://doc.castsoftware.com/display/IMAGING/User+Guide+-+GUI#UserGuideGUI-UIerrorhandling. |
| UI - Global search filter improvement | The filters that are available when performing a global search (using the magnifying glass on the header bar) are now persistent for the duration of the user session (i.e. until a log out occurs). In previous releases these filters reset to the default once a search action has been completed. See https://doc.castsoftware.com/display/IMAGING/User+Guide+-+Search+for+items#UserGuideSearchforitems-Objectsearch. |
| Technical - Export feature improvement | The export feature (to CVS, XLS, JSON) has been improved to include additional information for each object: caller, callee, linked objects are now included. See https://doc.castsoftware.com/display/IMAGING/User+Guide+-+Export+view+options. |
| UI - App to App Dependencies scope - export action improvement | An improvement has been implemented for this scope: now it is possible to select more than two applications and then export those specific details to CSV/JSON/XML. Previously the number of applications was limited to 2. See https://doc.castsoftware.com/display/IMAGING/User+Guide+-+Application+to+Application+dependencies+scope#UserGuideApplicationtoApplicationdependenciesscope-Exportoptions. |
| UI - App to App Dependencies scope - Tags | Tags can now be associated to an Application in the App to App Dependencies scope (previously this was not possible). Application Tags can also now be used as search terms when performing an application search. See https://doc.castsoftware.com/display/IMAGING/User+Guide+-+Application+to+Application+dependencies+scope#UserGuideApplicationtoApplicationdependenciesscope-Workingwithtags. |
| UI - Preferences - Notify user if object count is > X | A new option has been added to the Preferences which allows a threshold to be set (10000 objects by default), after which users will be notified (via a popup message) that the resulting view contains a large number of objects (i.e. above the threshold) and that this may require some time to process and display. In this case, users can then choose to proceed or cancel. See https://doc.castsoftware.com/display/IMAGING/Configuring+display+preferences#Configuringdisplaypreferences-Notifyobjectscount. |
| Added HTTP_ENDPOINT in the ETL-Config | Added HTTP_ENDPOINT which can be specified in the ETL config file, in case a custom port is being used to run imaging, other than the default port, i.e.- 8083. Default value- "http://localhost:8083/imaging" |
