Feature Improvements

Summary	Details
UI - Path Finder feature (beta)	It is now possible to enable the Path Finder feature (in beta) using a slider in the Preferences menu. Previously, it was necessary to manually update the app-config.js file to enable this feature. See https://doc.castsoftware.com/display/IMAGING/User+Guide+-+Using+the+Path+Finder+feature#UserGuideUsingthePathFinderfeature-Enabling/disablingthefeature and https://doc.castsoftware.com/display/IMAGING/Configuring+display+preferences.
Technical - New object search properties	Four new global search properties have been added in this release: GDPR, PCI DSS, Sensitive Data and Very Sensitive Data. Objects can now be searched using these specific properties. These properties are not available in the global search by default, instead they need to be manually configured in the Admin Center before users can exploit them - see https://doc.castsoftware.com/display/IMAGING/Admin+Center+-+Search+panel.
UI - Transaction scope - Full/Reduced Call Graph option at Objects level	By default, at Objects level in the Transaction scope, a reduced/simplified call graph (not all objects and links will be visible) will now be displayed by default to improve view loading time particularly for large applications. When the full call graph needs to be viewed a new button "Full Call Graph" in the left hand investigate panel must be clicked. Previously the behaviour was reversed: the full call graph was displayed by default and a button "Reduced call graph" was available to display the simplified/reduced call graph. See https://doc.castsoftware.com/display/IMAGING/User+Guide+-+Transaction+scope#UserGuideTransactionscope-Full/reducedcallgraph and https://doc.castsoftware.com/display/IMAGING/User+Guide+-+GUI+-+Investigate+panel#UserGuideGUIInvestigatepanel-layoutLayoutoptions.
UI - Transaction scope - Objects level - default filtering	The default filtering for transactions at object level has been changed to "WITH" from "ALL". "WITH" ensures that only transactions with end-points are displayed. See also: https://doc.castsoftware.com/display/IMAGING/User+Guide+-+Transaction+scope#UserGuideTransactionscope-Filteringthelistofavailabletransactions.
UI - Transaction scope - Full/Reduced Call Graph option at Objects level - Notification	If the full call graph contains more objects/nodes than the number defined in the "Notify objects count" setting configured in the "Display preferences" panel, then a notification will be displayed to prompt you to choose whether to proceed. See https://doc.castsoftware.com/display/IMAGING/User+Guide+-+Transaction+scope#UserGuideTransactionscope-Full/reducedcallgraph.

New Features

Summary	Details
UI - Path Finder - Beta feature	This new feature can be used to find paths between any two given objects. Using the provided options you can choose to find the shortest or all paths. There are other options provided to customize, such as the number of hops and the number of paths. Note that this feature is currently disabled by default. See https://doc.castsoftware.com/display/IMAGING/User+Guide+-+Using+the+Path+Finder+feature.
UI - Search by properties	It is now possible to perform an application object search based on the values of specific properties (chosen by ADMIN/SUPER ADMIN) assigned to each object. For example, Line of Code, Cyclomatic Complexity, Essential Complexity etc. Searches can combine multiple properties. See https://doc.castsoftware.com/display/IMAGING/User+Guide+-+Search+for+items#UserGuideSearchforitems-Objectsearch and https://doc.castsoftware.com/display/IMAGING/Admin+Center+-+Search+panel. Note that in order for this feature to work, at least one application in CAST Imaging must have been exported/imported with CAST Imaging ≥ 2.7.0-funcrel.
UI - Show callees and Show path options	Clicking an object at Object level view in any scope will show two new options in the upper right corner of the view: "Show callees" (show all objects being called by the selected object) and "Show path" (show any paths between the selected object and another object currently present in the view). See https://doc.castsoftware.com/display/IMAGING/User+Guide+-+GUI+-+Menus+and+Icons#UserGuideGUIMenusandIcons-Toprightcorner.
UI - New keyboard shortcut keys	It is now possible to access an object's property information (ALT+P) and an object's source code (ALT+S) using keyboard shortcut keys. See https://doc.castsoftware.com/display/IMAGING/User+Guide+-+Properties+panel and https://doc.castsoftware.com/display/IMAGING/User+Guide+-+Viewing+source+code.

Feature Improvements

Summary	Details
UI - Internal object search	We now show the full name of objects along with the existing object name, and UI for the object search has been improved for better user experience.
UI - Legend improvements	The Legend UI (located to the right in all scopes/views) has been improved as follows: 1) addition of a dropdown to navigate to specific sub sections where many objects are listed, 2) tags and properties sections have been added, 3) font and layout has been improved. See https://doc.castsoftware.com/display/IMAGING/User+Guide+-+GUI+-+Menus+and+Icons#UserGuideGUIMenusandIcons-Legend.
UI - Custom aggregation mode - Parent aggregation	When using a custom aggregation to view an application, the legend on the right hand side of the view now includes a section called "Parent Aggregation" which indicates which parent node an object belongs to. This is only visible at Object level. See https://doc.castsoftware.com/display/IMAGING/User+Guide+-+Creating+a+custom+aggregation+mode#UserGuideCreatingacustomaggregationmode-WorkingatObjectslevelwithacustomaggregationbasedonModules.
Technical - log rotation	Log rotation has been implemented for the logs "imaging-etl.log" and "imaging-service.log" to prevent them from becoming too large. See https://doc.castsoftware.com/display/IMAGING/User+Guide+-+Logging.
UI - Custom aggregation mode	It is now possible to add an object/node (via right click menu) to a published custom aggregation mode view. Previously it was only possible to add an object/node to an unpublished custom aggregation mode view. In addition a new option has been added when associating objects: "Remove objects from other existing nodes" which ensure that the object you are associating is removed from any other custom nodes in the target custom aggregation. See https://doc.castsoftware.com/display/IMAGING/User+Guide+-+Creating+a+custom+aggregation+mode#UserGuideCreatingacustomaggregationmode-associateAssociateobjectstoacustomnodefromanotherscope.
Technical - granting of roles/permissions to groups in SAML authentication mode	It is now possible to grant roles/permissions to groups when using SAML authentication. See https://doc.castsoftware.com/display/IMAGING/Admin+Center+-+Users+panel.
UI - Add Linked Objects - improvements	The Add Linked Objects feature has been improved as follows: 1) It is now possible to filter objects based on tags, 2) the filter dialog box has been redesigned to be more user-friendly. See https://doc.castsoftware.com/display/IMAGING/User+Guide+-+Using+the+Add+Linked+Objects+feature.
UI - Escalated links between objects represented as dashed lines	Escalated links (indirect links between objects) are depicted in CAST Imaging using dashed lines to make it more easy to differentiate between real links (depicted with solid lines) and escalated links. See https://doc.castsoftware.com/display/IMAGING/User+Guide+-+Understanding+Links.
UI - Saved views - Save As option	When working with saved view, a new option "Saved view" is now available allowing you to save the existing saved view with a new name (the existing name is not retained). See https://doc.castsoftware.com/display/IMAGING/User+Guide+-+Saving+and+accessing+saved+views#UserGuideSavingandaccessingsavedviews-Save/SaveAsoptions.
UI - Document-It - Clickable links	It is now possible to create clickable links in Document-It items. When the Document-It is saved, the link can be accessed by holding down the CTRL key and clicking the link. See https://doc.castsoftware.com/display/IMAGING/User+Guide+-+Using+the+Document-It+feature#UserGuideUsingtheDocumentItfeature-Addingclickablelinkstodocuments.
