Release Date: 13.11.2025
Description
A database issue was identified where null values in critical columns caused related records to disappear from the user interface. The following elements were affected:
Keys
Cylinders
Locking Systems
Although the data existed in the database, it did not appear in the UI, resulting in inconsistent system behavior.
Impact
Users could not view or manage affected entries.
Locking systems appeared incomplete or missing.
Data exports and overviews did not match the actual database contents.
Resolution
Implemented improved validation to ensure UI visibility no longer depends on null-sensitive fields.
Added safeguards to prevent incomplete records from causing display failures.
Updated internal logic to handle missing values more reliably.
Description
During role assignment, the system occasionally inserted empty tile structure values into the database.
Root Cause
A misconstructed LIKE operator in the query prevented the correct tile structure from being retrieved. This resulted in incomplete permission data being written.
Impact
Incorrect or missing UI tiles for affected users.
Permissions did not reflect the assigned roles.
Administrators needed to manually correct user configurations.
Resolution
Corrected the query logic responsible for retrieving tile structure information.
Fixed and validated the LIKE operator to ensure proper pattern matching.
Added protective checks to prevent saving empty tile structure entries.
Description
When attempting to activate a license online, the system displayed an Unauthorized (401) error.
Root Cause
The issue was not caused by Chargebee authentication.
The application failed to correctly load its configuration settings, causing it to miss the Chargebee API key during activation.
Impact
Online license activation failed.
Users were required to retry or switch to manual activation.
Resolution
Corrected the settings-loading process to ensure the Chargebee API key is consistently available.
Added validation logic to confirm that required configuration values are present before starting the activation process.
Improved error handling to prevent false 401 errors when configuration data is incomplete.
Release Date: 22.10.2025
Improved French Translations
The French language pack has been thoroughly revised for better accuracy, clarity, and consistency throughout the application.
Database Owner Check
Before executing an update, the application now verifies whether the SQL user has DB-Owner rights. This ensures that updates cannot run without sufficient permissions, preventing potential data issues.
Database Version Check
With this update, the application will now verify that the local database version matches the server version before proceeding. This prevents mismatched versions and ensures data integrity between clients and the server.
Enhanced AS2 Connection
The AS2 communication module has been improved and now supports the REST API, resulting in more reliable and efficient data transfer.
Order Menu Sorting
Orders in the Order Menu are now displayed by latest order date first, making it easier to locate and manage recent orders.
New Cylinder History Feature
A new Cylinder History view has been added to the Cylinder menu, including a Cylinder History Query for detailed tracking and auditing of cylinder changes.
Search and Replace Optimization
The Search and Replace function now uses a batch update mechanism, significantly improving performance when working with larger datasets.
Fixed several minor bugs within the source code to enhance stability, reliability, and overall performance.
Release Date: 04.10.2025
AS2 REST Integration
Implementation of a REST-based AS2 interface for improved communication with external systems.
