Fixed bugs

Reports

The following Reports related issues have been fixed:

Minor alignment issues found in some of the 'Project Statistics' component's reports such as the Commits report (with 'Date' on the X axis) have been fixed.
The incorrect sequence generation of the report_parameter table that caused the TeamForge 8.0 to 8.1 migration failure has been fixed.
An issue occurred while exporting table reports if values were selected from the 'Select Users' flex field. This has been fixed.
The issue with the display of the report title on CLI reports has been fixed.
Tracker report creation failed when any status other than 'Any', 'All Open' or 'All Closed' was specified. This has been fixed.
The Group By filter was working correctly and report artifacts were displayed under their appropriate group only when the Fields Shown in Report(s) value was the same as that of Group By. This has been fixed.
The help text that appears on hovering the mouse over Select Tracker(s) and Select Planning Folder(s) fields has been removed from all the relevant reports.
The Assigned To field on the generated Distribution reports now correctly displays the user's full name and not the user name.

SCM

The following code browser issues have been fixed:

Links to Gerrit reviews are now not shown when browsing a replica.
On the code browser, while switching to a branch/tag where a subdirectory does not exist, a 404 error is now displayed.
The pin/last Diff link was throwing an irrelevant error across renames. This has been fixed.
Unnecessary UI options have been removed from the code browser tree view.
Inconsistent behavior around pin links and parsing issue in code browser have been fixed.
If any database operation failed during the transition of the replication command status, the whole execution rolled back causing inaccurate replication statuses.This has been fixed.
If Orchestrate is not installed properly, the Associations tab is no longer displayed on the TeamForge code browser.

Installer

An issue that resulted in long JBOSS startup time on certain configurations has now been fixed.

Build and Test

When SVN was on a separate server, clicking the Build and Test link on the TeamForge page was not opening the appropriate Jenkins page when displayed in an iframe. This has been fixed.

Project Home

An issue occurred while accessing files in the publishing repository through the relative URL /www. This has been fixed.

SOAP

The following SOAP related issues have been fixed:

SOAP services failed intermittently when multiple SOAP calls were executed in parallel. This has been fixed.
When trying to fetch a large number of repositories from an external system, a time out error occurred. This has been fixed.

UI/UX

An issue occurred with pop-up windows on the View Artifact page for some special characters in the Status field.

IAF

SVN commit details were not getting associated with the Project Tracker ID because of which they were not showing up on the Project Tracker artifact page.This has been fixed.

Security

This patch addresses few information disclosure related security issues.

Tracker

The following Tracker related issues have been fixed:

A concurrency issue around artifact activities has been fixed.
Disabling the tracker Points field in Tracker Settings resulted in invalid values being shown on the Planning Folder Summary page. This has been fixed.
An issue around deleting a tracker has been fixed.
The issue with the Points value not getting updated when the Calculate Points field (Tracker Settings) was disabled has been fixed.
The value 'None' was appearing twice in a user-defined and required drop-down field. This has been fixed.

Kanban board

When the child artifact card is dragged from one swimlane to another, the parent artifact card now displays correct values of the total number of Open and Closed artifacts.

Git

Changes have been made to ensure that if a Git repository is removed, its mirrors on replica servers are removed as well.

Orchestrate

The following Orchestrate related issues have been addressed:

Migration from version 1.4.0 is now fully supported. Release 1.4.0 superseded immediately with a patch and was not intended for customer consumption.
When Orchestrate is deactivated and reinstated at the project level, old sources would remain intact. This has been remedied in this patch such that all old sources are now deleted.
Several upgrade related data migration bugs have been addressed.
When projects are created from a template, Orchestrate created duplicate sources. This issue has been resolved.
Installation can be resumed if there is an "IAF registration" failure.
Installation properly updates RabbitMQ credentials when installation is run multiple times.
Upgrade and installation will no longer permit "localhost" for the RabbitMQ FQDN. Using a local value prevents users from obtaining the real FQDN, needed during source setup.
Better support for installing Orchestrate in non-SSL (http) mode.
Better handling of Orchestrate objects during project deletion.
A bug in the Orchestrate icon service related to paths has been fixed.
