	Process Diff	Fixed a bug which required the user to compare versions multiple times before the selected language was compared in multilingual workspaces. Compared versions are precalculated in the correct language.	ST-35871
	Process Locking	After replacing a working version in a workspace, an incorrect user name was displayed in subsequent locking error messages	ST-35907
	Process Versioning	Deleting failed process versions via cleanup rules was not possible	ST-35908

Release 7.10.5.1
Type	Category	Description	ID
	API	An API method was missing. Due to this some reports like the "Unresolved Process Interfaces" report failed. Now the method is there again: stages#getAssociations(@Nullable String[] sourceProcessIds, @Nullable String[] targetProcessIds, @Nullable String sourceElementTypeIdent,@Nullable String targetElementTypeIdent, @Nullable String[] associationTypes, @Nullable String processVersionIdentifierOverride)	ST-36061
	Administration	The computation of "Average hours per session" in the Administration dashboard was incorrect because the timeout interval was not subtracted from the duration of user sessions that were terminated by the session timeout	ST-36021
	Administration	When paging through a user group with more than 200 users, only the first few pages were shown.	ST-35850
	Compliance	Improved error message when compliance rating recalculation fails, because two users add the same rating at the same time.	ST-35745
	File Handling	It was possible to click the "Notify Users" switch in the upload dialog for database-managed guidance files. The lifecycle selection for guidance elements with database-managed files is now disabled in the file management plan.	ST-35892
	Process Visualization	A visualization error could occur when a user received the permission to view the current process by a participant assignment that was made while the user was logged in	ST-36040

Release 7.10.5.0
Type	Category	Description	ID
	Administration	Simplify configuration for HTTPS, reports and PDF printing. The server.xml and database.properties do now support variables defined in config.properties and secret.properties. This simplifies configuration sharing between test and production server. Run update.sh\|bat and restart Stages for configuration changes to become effective. Mandatory manual action Ensure the external Stages server name is configured as property in config.properties, e.g. general.external.hostname = stages.example.com Ensure the following connector is available in server.xml <!-- used for internal communication between Stages and its reporting app, listens only on the loopback interface --> <Connector port="8085" protocol="org.apache.coyote.http11.Http11Nio2Protocol" proxyName="${general.external.hostname}" proxyPort="443" secure="true" scheme="https" URIEncoding="UTF-8" maxHttpHeaderSize="8192" maxThreads="150" minSpareThreads="25" enableLookups="true" acceptCount="100" connectionTimeout="60000" disableUploadTimeout="true" address="127.0.0.1" /> Ensure the following properties are removed from config.xml: <property name="metrics.serverAddress" ... <property name="pdf.serverAddress" ... <property name="processor.serverAddress" ...	ST-35814
	API	It was not possible to find all remote associations (interfaces) of a process efficiently. Now you can easily use: stages.getRemoteAssociations(String[] sourceProcessIds \| null, String[] targetProcessIds \| null, String sourceElementTypeIdent \| null, String targetElementTypeIdent \| null, String[] associationTypes \| null).	ST-35891
	API	[revert]	ST-35981
	Editor	When the %WORKSPACEPATH% variable was used in the image map of an image in a description that was remotely embedded in another workspace, it was resolved to the workspace in which the description was located.

	Process Feedback	Updated dependency for RTC Feedback.	INT-1608
	Process Modeling	Creating/editing/deleting a dependent element or an association of a dependent element did not update the last change date and last change user of its dependent element container.	ST-35325
	Process Modeling	Elements that could not have dependent element children were displayed in the association target search results even when they were already associated, which was wrong for this type of elements and lead to an error when trying to associate them for a second time	ST-35267
	Process Modules	Fixed error ORA-00913 during module update on Oracle databases.	ST-35916
	Process Modules	[revert]	ST-35522

	Process Review and Approval	Many collisions occurred between retry attempts of asynchronous background operations. The retry interval is now including randomness to avoid these collisions.	ST-35909
	Process Review and Approval	Under some circumstances, the "Push module update" automation step replaced a valid version of a module with an older or non-valid version	ST-35906
	Process Review and Approval	It was not possible to assign a user to several release interface tasks inside the same step.	ST-35930
	Process Tailoring	Assigning process elements to tailoring answers was very slow when there was a large number of process elements for an element type	ST-35842
	Process Versioning	When the same element was associated from a tailoring answer in multiple categories (e.g. "Remove if selected", "Add if other selected"). Copies (and versions) of the process contained only one of those associations.	ST-35988
	Process Versioning	Creating a process version could fail if a referenced process version was deleted concurrently.	ST-35960
	Process Versions	The approval history context menu was available on process versions which failed to be created and therefore led to follow up errors.	ST-35905
	Process Versions	Process version creation was very slow in case of many interface associations. Affects especially MySQL 8.	ST-35958
	Process Views	Collected associations starting from dependent elements displayed a random dependent element in the association list. Now the association is displayed for each assigned dependent element.	ST-35936
	Process Views	When defining a widget for the combined view of description and associations in the metamodel, the inline edit menu item for the description was not displayed.	ST-35996

	API	Fix performance of file revision access.	ST-34881
	API	The initially created first valid version of a workspace V0 did not have a state when this was queried via API (e.g. for reports or process visualization diagrams). Now the initial state (e.g. draft) is returned by API as it is shown for V0 at "Management > Process Versions".	ST-34843
	Administration	The password field in the authentication dialog for starting the superuser mode was not focused.	ST-35443

	Process Modeling	When the translation dialog for an element was open and you directly switched into the translation dialog for another element (via left navigation context menu), the new form still showed the name of the previous element.	ST-35738
	Process Modelling	Deleting an existing association comment lead to follow up errors during comment to state migration when using MySQL as database.	ST-35831
	Process Modules	Process modules adopted elements by name even if they did not have the matching subtypes.	ST-35889
	Process Modules	Associations of integrated module elements were deleted in some cases when they should not be deleted	ST-35785
	Process Review and Approval	When module installations were updated by release automations, "Superuser" was shown as the user who did the module update. Now, for future updates, the actual user will be shown who started the release automation.	ST-35803
	Process Tailoring	When translating tailoring elements, typeIdent could not be found	ST-35862
	Process Tailoring	Fix sorting of tailoring dependencies of tailoring answers. The elements are now sorted hierarchical.	ST-35801
	Process Versioning	Links originating from embedded descriptions were erroneously reported as broken by the readiness check when their target elements were not present in the valid version	ST-34858
	Process Versioning	Links in image maps that contained variables were erroneously reported as broken by the readiness check	ST-35832
	Process Versioning	Fixed that process cleanup would fail for the root workspace with Oracle databases.	ST-35796

	Reporting	Could not move report folder to top-level.	ST-35874
	Reporting	Trying to change the workspace while copying/moving a report resulted in an error. Now the workspace selection is disabled when the clipboard for copying/moving reports is open because reports are generally not bound to a single workspace.	ST-35824
	Security	Update Tomcat to version 9.0.85	ST-35811
	User Experience	On mobile devices the menu was closed when the device was rotated.	ST-35800

	Authentication	Entering and exiting superuser mode was not logged clearly enough in the audit log	ST-35686
	Compliance	Mapping an element under "Management > Compliance" led to an error if this was done by selecting the target element via search input.	ST-35782
	Compliance	Importing a process will no longer import only one scope of every assigned reference model if there are multiple.	ST-35653
	Database	The value for process cleanup rules' "older than" column was unnecessarily limited in Oracle databases.	ST-35733
	File Handling	Files with content type message/rfc822 (for example: exported emails) could not be uploaded in Stages	ST-35717
	Process Import/Export	Could not import process with overwritten tailoring elements.	ST-35784
	Process Modeling	An error could occur when copying a process element with remote associations to overlaid elements.	ST-35778
	Process Modules	When an overwritten process element had project scope attributes, updates of the corresponding module failed in this process.	ST-35779
	Process Review and Approval	"Intermediate" interface versions (interface versions that could not be released because a concurrently running automation had created a newer interface version in the same workspace) were left in the state they had after creation. Now, they will be set to the state set in the "Set state of previous valid version" step, if there is such a step in the automation.	ST-35706
	Process Review and Approval	Release automations started in sudo mode could fail, due to the sudo flag was not preserved throughout the automation execution.	ST-35747
	Process Review and Approval	Unified all occurrences of participants to show 50 participants before adding a second page	ST-35666
	Process Review and Approval	Specified version description was not available in the version approval history view.	ST-35755
	Process Review and Approval	When running an automation in a workspace, no approval history was created for interface versions in other workspaces	ST-35681
	Process Versioning	Fixed some problems with readiness checks related to dependent elements: - An "element not found" error occurred when trying to open a readiness check finding for a dependent element. Now, the parent element is opened. - Association constraints were evaluated independently for dependent elements. For instance, a work product state or quality level that was not input for any activity caused a warning for "Checks if each work product is an input to at least one activity.". Now, association constraints are only evaluated against the parent element, and the associations of all dependent element children are merged before the constraint is evaluated.	ST-35758
	Process Versioning	An error occurred when deleting multiple process versions at once, when the names of the deleted process versions were longer than 255 characters in total	ST-35664
	Search	Workspace search did not find workspaces in Chinese when the search term didn't start from the beginnig of the workspace name.	ST-35622
	Search	Upgraded search engine to version 8.9.2.	ST-35749

	Administration	The navigation drawer was not directly update after starting or stopping the Superuser Mode.	ST-35626
	Authentication	SAML attributes could not be accessed in JavaScript snippets if the name of the SAML attribute was not a valid identifier name in JavaScript. Now, the mapped attribute name must be used. Mandatory manual action If you are using JavaScript snippets in your SAML configuration, change the variable names to the "name" attribute of the "identity-provider-attribute" elements (example: When you have <identity-provider-attribute name="groupName" id="group_name" /> in your configuration, change "group_name" to "groupName" in JavaScript)	ST-35539
	Compliance	Using the quick search to associate compliance elements no longer results in an error	ST-35644

	Process Management	An error could occur when changing the metamodel of a process when other versions of this process were deleted by a cleanup rule	ST-35625
	Process Metamodel	Migrate metamodel no longer duplicates the element identity when using indexAsFolderName.	ST-35570
	Process Modeling	Removing associations from an association "from multiple workspaces" will now correctly update the association list.	ST-35296
	Process Modeling	Creating an element via the association widget would create wrong element subtype in some cases.	ST-35581
	Process Modeling	Adding a new dependent element (e.g. state/quality level) directly in the search bar of associations will now create the correct type (sometimes a state was created instead of a quality level, even when a state was not allowed for associations of this type by the metamodel configuration)	ST-35437
	Process Review and Approval	Send email steps and push module update steps did not set the configured process version state.	ST-35571
	Process Review and Approval	The process release details showed the wrong process versions of installed modules when the new valid version of the process also contained a newer version of the module.	ST-35568
	Process Views	Comment-only associations with a source state will now display the state in the association list	ST-35174
	Process Views	Duplicate diagram idents for a widget definition or layout tab of a configured metamodel are now logged as warnings.	ST-35550
	Process Views	Alphabetical sort order of associations was not correctly maintained when adding new associations to the group.	ST-35440
	Process Views	Origin element links in module properties were displayed even if they did not exist in module process because the metamodel did not provide the element type.	ST-35543

	Global	Provide Japanese translations for Stages	ST-35476
	Administration	A workspace was never deleted properly when there were Stages 6 issues for this workspace. This bugfix will delete all content related to the Stages 6 issue tracking functionality from the database.	ST-35451
	Administration	In the small-screen "Permissions" view for a user group, a workspace name was displayed for permissions that had the "Adopt workspaces" flag set	ST-35045

	Database	updateTarget.bat displayed a misleading "Path not found" error message	ST-35521
	File Handling	Subversion repositories for work products were duplicated by release as valid version if 'use system user' is activated in working version.	ST-35559
	File Handling	Changing a Guidance repository in the working version also affected files from this repository in process versions if the elements of the files were overwritten. The effect could be visible when the overwritten element was restored.	ST-35544
	File Handling	Work product repositories could not be modified or deleted in the valid version	ST-35481
	PDF Printing	Tables could overflow the right margin in PDF exports (the table width was not enforced by breaking words)	ST-35233
	PDF Printing	Images could overflow the right margin in PDF exports when the paragraph containing the image was indented	ST-35341
	Process Diff	In some situations, Stages compared the current valid version to itself when clicking the "Show Changes" button in the "new valid version" badge	ST-34823
	Process Feedback	When the feedback system that was selected for a workspace was deleted from config.xml, an empty feedback widget was displayed for the process elements, but in the workspace properties, the default feedback system was displayed as selected. The new behavior: - There is now always an option "None" for the feedback system in the workspace properties - The feedback system falls back to "None" when it has been deleted from config.xml. This will also happen when only the host has been deleted.	ST-34711
	Process Modeling	Changing the state of an existing dependent element could lead to a wrong view where the previous and the new state were displayed. This was only a display error.	ST-35575
	Process Modeling	In superuser mode process changes were always made in the working version irrespective of the preset process version.	ST-35554
	Process Modeling	Concurrent process modeling could result in database inconsistencies.	ST-35436 ST-35435
	Process Modules	If the source element was from a module and overwritten, the association was removable on the target element.	ST-35018
	Process Modules	When adding a process module to another process, the compliance associations to the valid version of the reference model were copied. Now, the compliance associations to the working version are copied. V0 is no longer created when importing a reference model from a .zip file or copying a reference model from another workspace.	ST-35113
	Process Review and Approval	States were missing in some cases in the approval history and approval history menu entry was missing, if a step in a release automation failed.	ST-35441 ST-35479
	Process Tailoring	Deletion of tailored/removed elements failed with an internal error.	ST-35566
	Reporting	The "Compliance Traces" report caused an error when the executing user did not have R, Processes permissions for one of the reference models. Now, these reference models are filtered away in the parameter selection.	ST-35148
	Security	Fixed permission check for deletion of cleanup rules and archives.	ST-35577

	Process Modeling	The creation of dependent elements via quick assign lead to a no access error in read-only remote workspaces. Now it is no longer possible to trigger a create action without create permission in the remote workspace.	ST-34685
	Process Modeling	When a process module was refactored by moving elements to other modules and renaming them there, it was not possible anymore to update the elements with their new module in processes where the old version of the module was installed. New elements were created then. Now this problem is resolved and there is a new restriction: Moving elements to other processes will not be allowed if some or all of the elements already exist in the other workspace (identities already exist).

	Process Modules	Warning icons and progress spinners are now aligned with each other	ST-34758
	Process Modules	Fix for the following scenario: Multiple process modules contained the same elements (frpm the same base module) but the elements had different associations in the modules. When these modules were added to the same process it depended on the sequence of the additions if the associations were there or not.	ST-34748
	Process Modules	When a process module with files or user role assignments was added to another process module and then the other module was added to another process, the files and user role assignments from the module were missing in this process.	ST-34800

	Process Review and Approval	Fixed incorrect use of parameters in some process release automation email texts	ST-34763
	Process Review and Approval	The state of a user workflow step was only set at the process version after the first user task had been completed.	ST-34713
	Process Review and Approval	The styling of the process versions management page was broken after starting an automation.	ST-34741
	Process Review and Approval	The step "set state of previous valid version" will now use the previous valid version of the newly created version instead of the previous valid version of the current valid version.	ST-34643
	Process Review and Approval	Process release automation emails were only sent to one user even when multiple users were assigned to a participant	ST-34708
	Process Review and Approval	When a task for approving process interface changes was opened from the todo list on the home dashboard, interfaces were falsely shown as unavailable in the following case: The target element in the valid version in which the release automation was started does not exist in the current valid version but the automation will release a new valid version later which will contain the element.	ST-34633
	Process Tailoring	Links to tailored elements on landing pages were still clickable after disabling the user setting "Show tailored elements".	ST-34975

	Process Versioning	The variables processVersion.name and processVersion.description are now available in email templates.	ST-34830
	Process Versioning	It was not possible to release a process version as valid version, if there was no current valid version.	ST-34779
	Process Visualization	Update visualization library to fix a regression in edge routing of back links.	ST-34912

ST-34471
	API	When you called getUrl on a project (workspace) element, you always received a link to the process start page in the valid version of the corresponding workspace. Now the link leads to the process version from which getUrl was called. Additionally fixed NullPointerExeption that occurred when getUrl was called in a workspace that did not have a process. Now the generated URL will lead to the home page in the corresponding workspace.	ST-34544

	File Handling	Creating a file from template when the property "use.system.account.for.download" is set to true will no longer ask the user for credentials on loading the properties of the guidance file. It will still ask the user for credentials after clicking on "download & create" to be able to lock the file.	ST-34455
	File Handling	SharePoint SDK update fixed problem with to many requests ST-34496 fixed ignored columns on set state	INT-1140
	Installer	When additional languages were configured in the "supported.languages" property, all message properties could not be resolved for these languages. If you copied the English stages.properties file and appended the language-specific suffix (e.g stages_ja.properties) this copy was removed again by the installer when Stages was updated. Now the copy of the stages.properties file will be done automatically when the update script (update.bat/update.sh) is executed. If you want to translate message properties you can (still) do this by putting a local properties file with the language-specific suffix into the conf folder (e.g. local_ja.properties) and translate the message properties in it. The changes are applied when update script is executed.	ST-34410

	API	Process versions can be created/deleted by the following API commands: commands.newCreateProcessVersionCommand(targetWorkspaceId , versionName , stateTypeIdent , releaseAsValidVersion); commands.newDeleteProcessVersionsCommand(targetWorkspaceId , versionsIdsToDelete)	ST-33899
	API	Processes can be copied to an empty workspace by the following API command: commands.newCopyProcessCommand(targetWorkspaceId, sourceProcessId).	ST-33898
	API	Process modules can initially be added to a workspace by the following API command: commands.newAddModulesCommand(targetWorkspaceId, moduleSelections).	ST-33894
	API	Now we can get the dependent elements of an element with 'element.getEntities("hierarchy::HIERARCHIC,targetrole=dependentElements")'. The container element of an dependent element can be retrieved with 'getEntities("hierarchy::HIERARCHIC,targetrole=containerElement")'. Additionaly dependent elements return "true" as value of the property "Dependent".	ST-33594
	PDF Printing	Update freemarker to latest version	ST-33443
	Process Feedback	Added name and type to feedback mapping	INT-1109

	Process Modeling	Dependent elements can now be translated	ST-33603
	Process Modeling	Dependent elements can now be sorted alphabetically or custom. The initial sort order is the order they got created.	ST-33604
	Process Modeling	Associate new or existing dependent elements via "quick-assign" search box in association widget	ST-33611 ST-33617
	Process Modeling	Adding a dependent-elements-list widget to the metamodel.	ST-33608
	Process Modeling	Created a new widget for viewing and editing dependent elements	ST-33568
	Process Modeling	If the working version is the valid version and the valid version is selected in the version selection, the version will be treated like other valid versions (modeling is prevented)	ST-33573
	Process Review and Approval	A "Show Changes" button is now displayed in process release notification emails	ST-33579
	Process Versioning	When a new Working Version is initially created in a workspace, now additionally an empty Valid Version is created. This avoids complex situations in process element views that occur when the Working Version is also the Valid Version. Moreover process viewers now will see the empty Valid Version instead of the unreleased Working Version process until a new Valid Version is oficially released.	ST-33550
	Process Views	Display associated dependent elements in association lists with links to the process elements to which they belong to.	ST-33606
	Process Views	If the working version is the valid version, the version selection now has two entries for the working version (valid working version and working version).	ST-30494
	Process Visualization	Visualizations are now collapsible.	ST-33553
	Search	Process elements now can also be found by names and descriptions of their dependent elements (like maturity levels).	ST-33601
	Search	Global search now finds process elements by custom attribute values (types: "STRING", "TEXT", "INTEGER" and "SELECTION") without having to adapt the metamodel for this. However, if you don't want certain attribute types to be included in search, you have to set 'searchable="false"' on their metamodel definitions.	ST-33544
	User Experience	Stages now provides alt tags for all image elements, labels for form elements, proper structured html hiearchies for lists, a lang attribute on the html element and attributes on interactive elements that improve the readability for screen readers. The code monitoring to keep the functionality on a high level will be done by a ESLint accessibility rule set.	ST-32738 ST-32745 ST-33691 ST-33692 ST-33693
	API	It was not possible to get information about user-participant associations for workspaces	ST-33829
	API	It was not possible to control if the remote associations were retrieved to working or valid versions via stages#getAssociations. They were always filtered by the currently viewed process version (Associations with working versions were returned when you were in the working version or the current process version was never valid before. Associations with valid versions were returned when you were in the valid version). Now you can call getAssociations with last parameter "_wv" (getAssociations(sourceProcessIds, targetProcessIds, sourceElementTypeIdent, targetElementTypeIdent, associationTypes, "_wv")) when you want to get all associations with working versions. Set last parameter to "_vv" if you want to get all associations with valid versions. Set last parameter to "null" if you want to get associations to all process versions unfiltered. If you call getAssociations without this last parameter the behaviour will be like before.	ST-33826
	API	stages#getAssociations always returned 0 results	ST-33807
	API	Changing file stream API to not need a revision for a file in stages db	ST-33384

	Authentication	Set the default value for config property "autologin.username.allowAtCharacter" to "true" for new installations	ST-33739
	Authentication	SSO / SAML usernames were truncated at the "@" character. Now, this behavior can be changed by setting the config property "autologin.username.allowAtCharacter" to "true". The current default value is "false" for backwards compatibility.	ST-33635
	Authentication	Template for SAML username and email	INT-1079
	Compliance	The left navigation was not filtered any more in compliance mapping mode	ST-33799
	Database	The "migrateMultiLanguageProcesses" script did not merge names and descriptions for Guidance elements that were not migrated Stages 6 resources. This could happen if the metamodel migration script ("migrateMetamodel") was executed before the multi-language migration.	ST-33622
	Database	When a reference model was referenced by a process model using only local scopes in Stages 6, the database upgrade did not create a reference model assignment. Now, in this situation, the upgrade will create an assignment of the scope that was the default workingset of the reference model in Stages 6.	ST-33532
	Editor	In the directives plugin of the description editor the insert buttons were inactive.	ST-33950
	Editor	Table zoom was not shown after changing tabs in the landing page.	ST-33896
	Editor	Border formatting was not visible on all borders of a table cell when the border width was set to 1px	ST-33827
	Editor	Upgrade CKEditor to version 4.16.2 for security fixes.	ST-33766

	Installer	Stages upgrade via RPM failed in case stages was not running.	ST-33774
	Navigation	Fixed button color for multi-delete of tailoring and enactment elements	ST-33856
	Navigation	The copy / paste mode of descriptions was closed when the user navigates to other workspaces. Now the clipboard stays open as expected during the workspace navigation.	ST-33441
	Process Diff	Diff markers were shown on all perspectives even though changed associations were viewable only in specific perspectives.	ST-33787
	Process Diff	Performance improvement for deleting process elements with change markers.	ST-33764
	Process Execution	It was possible to remove associations in the "Execution Configuration" widget in valid process versions.	ST-33757
	Process Import/Export	HTML escaping was erroneously applied to enactment script code in "script" and "script library" resources when importing a process that was exported from Stages 6	ST-33795
	Process Import/Export	Image maps were lost when importing a process that was exported from Stages 6	ST-33771
	Process Management	Fixes a no Access Error when sorting description templates.	ST-33930

	Process Modules	Add button in visualization was missing on core protected elements	ST-33752
	Process Review and Approval	Link to process elements were not displayed correctly in emails generated by a "Send email" automation step.	ST-33636
	Process Review and Approval	A process version state change associated with an automation task was ignored when the user completing the task did not have sufficient permissions.	ST-33754
	Process Review and Approval	Older versions of executed workflows could lead to duplicate entries in the approval history of process versions.	ST-33804
	Process Review and Approval	In certain cases it was not possible to abort a running process release.	ST-33780
	Process Review and Approval	Task could not completed when scheduled release date was assumed from another task.	ST-33748

	Process Review and Approval	Changing suggested process release time to be in future	ST-33431
	Process Tailoring	Switching off the "show tailoring details" button now correctly removes the tailored elements from the navigation	ST-33705
	Process Versioning	No clear error message was displayed in the process version readiness check when web sockets were not supported and no readiness check results could be received.	ST-33825
	Process Versioning	API v1 process validity returned outdated process version name.	ST-33618
	Process Views	Tailored identical associations were inconsistently shown strike through in the association list and the association browser.	ST-33801
	Process Views	When a remote association existed between two multilingual workspaces, there were a few cases in which the remote element in the visualization was displayed in a different language than in the association list.	ST-33687
	Process Views	Clicks on internal lazy references within image maps resulted in a reload of the whole page.	ST-33707
	Process Views	Process element views could not be loaded in special constellations when they contained derived associations with comments.	ST-33626
	Process Visualization	Scrolling on a process page while the visualization is loading leads the view to the top of the page when the visualization finished loading. Now the scroll position ia preserved.	ST-33463
	Reporting	Requests from the reporting webapp did not have an origin header and were therefore rejected by CSRF protection.	ST-33841
	Reporting	Could not enter valid value for report parameters of type "time" in Chrome browser because seconds could not be entered	ST-33738
	Reporting	Report parameter were loaded from previous reports. Now the parameters for the current selected report are displayed correctly.	ST-33581
	Search	Some changes were not immediately reflected in the search results: Children of deleted elements could still be found for some time. Parent elements that were imported with one of their children from an on-demand module could not be found for some time.	ST-33737
	Search	Search for workspaces by name requires too much input to find workspaces.	ST-33712
	Search	Target element search in association list found folders when the targetSubtypes were not restricted by the metamodel. Now folders will never be found there.	ST-33732
	Search	All elements in a workspace were found when you searched for the workspace name in the global search. This produced many irrelevant results. Now elements will not be found by their workspace names anymore.	ST-33656
	Search	Removed plugin for the search of German compound words. Search indexes will be rebuild. It may take some time (dependent on the size of the database from some minutes up to a few hours) until this is completed and everything can be found again.	ST-33627
	Search	Exact search (when the search term is put in quotes) found inexact hits based on the same root words as the search term.	ST-33638
	Search	When the searched term was found exactly in an element description, the corresponding search hit was shown after inexact search hits in element names.	ST-33511
	Security	Readiness check for process versions didn't show results.	ST-33900
	Security	The origin header verification could not be disabled selectively. Now, this is possible by setting the new configuration property "global.secureMode.enableOriginCheck" to "false".	ST-33905
	Security	Reviewed some settings for report upload	ST-33870
	Security	The "Strict-Transport-Security" header could not be disabled selectively. Now, this is possible by setting the new configuration property "global.secureMode.enableStrictTransportSecurity" to "false".	ST-33869
	Security	Set the default value for configuration property "global.secureMode.IEAccess" to "no_one" to prevent Internet Explorer usage due to its inherent security risks. Mandatory manual action If Internet Explorer access should be granted, this configuration property must be set explicitly, either to "non_root" or "all_users".	ST-33883
	Security	Reviewed some settings for replacing working versions and release automation	ST-33859
	Security	Update tomcat to version 8.5.72 for security fixes.	ST-33824

	Security	It is now checked that WebSocket requests have their origin from the same site (CSRF protection), unless IE access is allowed via the configuration property "global.secureMode.IEAccess". If the "origin" header field is set, the value is checked in any case (i.e. independent of configuration settings and browser detection)	SST-33762
	Security	It is now checked that modifying requests have their origin from the same site (CSRF protection), unless IE access is allowed via the configuration property "global.secureMode.IEAccess".	ST-33751
	Security	The access with Internet Explorer has been restricted due to its inherent security risks. There is a new configuration poperty "global.secureMode.IEAccess" with the possible values: "no_one", "non_root", "all_users". The default value is "non_root" which disallows root access with Internet Explorer.	ST-33397
	Security	Image map markup is now sanitized at the backend.	ST-33582
	Security	Reject authentication attempts when currently delaying the response for a previous failed authentication attempt ("tarpit") and use this mechanism in additional places	ST-33539

	Security	Rich Text cleanup is now invoked for translated descriptions when importing a translation .zip export	ST-33584
	Security	Rich text cleanup is now invoked for all descriptions when importing a process .zip export, and when custom rich text attribute values are displayed. Set the config property "import.description.cleanup" to "false" to opt out of this.	ST-33583
	Security	Cross-site scripting (XSS) was possible on IE11/Safari in richtext descriptions Mandatory manual action The default of the following configuration properties were changed, but the previous default values can be explicitely set again, if the security implications are acknowledged: "process.description.displayUnmanagedSections.enabled" and "legacy.description.migration.unmanagedSection.templates"	ST-33549

	Process Feedback	Fixed missing codebeamer dependency	INT-1081
	Security	Additional fixes related to ST-33517 for IE 11	ST-33522

Release 7.7.0.1
Type	Category	Description	ID
	API	API call 'getEntities("containsCoreProcess@SYSTEM,sourcerole=CoreProcess")' did not return any process when it was called on the Valid Version of a process module and the process module was not installed in Valid Versions, only in Working Versions of other workspaces.	ST-33458
	PDF Printing	It was no longer possible to create a PDF of a process in case the user had no modeler license.	ST-33572
	Process Execution	When you opened the browse view for associating execution elements (e.g. activators with scripts), the root node (e.g. Scripts) was displayed as it was possible to navigate one level up from it.	ST-33483
	Process Versioning	Keep current version name in url when navigating to other local elements via process visualization diagrams or association lists	ST-33418
	Process Views	When an image file name contained multiple whitespaces in succession and the image was added to a description (e.g. description of a process element), the image was not show after the description was saved.	ST-33442
	Reporting	Firefox asked for the login credentials again when running a report that contained an image (for example, a chart)	ST-33265
	Search	Chinese, Japanese and Korean were not configured for the participants search (at user groups).	ST-33534
	Search	Users could not be found by their names or email addresses in some constellations when the terms contained underscores or hyphens (e.g. could not find user 123_test when searching for test and could not find user 123-test when searching for 123_test).	ST-33537
	Search	Workspace search could not find workspaces with underscores in their names (e.g. 123_MyProject) if only the part after the underscore (MyProject) was entered into the search field.	ST-33336
	Search	Fuzzy search for workspaces did not work when it was activated by setting the config property "search.workspaces.fuzzy" to "true" ("false" by default).	ST-33536

Release 7.7.0.0
Type	Category	Description	ID
	Process Modeling	In external links of process element descriptions and in file properties, URLs were not validated. Invalid URLs caused subsequent errors (e.g. when they should be exported to Excel by a report). Now the URLs are validated with this pattern: "^[A-Za-z][A-Za-z\\d.+-]:\\/(?:\\w+(?::\\w+)?@)?[^\\s/]+(?::\\d+)?(?:\\/[\\w#!:.?+=&%@();\\-/]*)?$". The pattern can be changed with the config property "url.pattern".	ST-33276
	Process Modeling	The workspace navigation in the association browser always opened the favorites tab. Now the last opened tab is stored and preselected.	ST-33474
	Process Review and Approval	The date time picker was not correctly positioned after window resize.	ST-33264
	Process Visualization	If an activity was associated with another activity as predecessor and successor, the diagram showed only one of these associations.	ST-33542
	Security	Fixed XSS vulnerbility in reports.	ST-33517

Release 7.7.RC.3
Type	Category	Description	ID
	Search	Added chinese, japanese and korean search configuration. Mandatory manual action If you use one of these languages you should delete the contents of methodpark/stages/elasticsearch/data and restart the "Stages Search" service and Stages after that. It may take some time until the search index is rebuilt and all search results can be found again.	ST-33219
	Compliance	The transferMappings script did not consider the target workspace parameter (-t) in case of ratings. When you specified a target workspace (!= *), compliance ratings (coverage) were created for the new reference model from all processes that had ratings for the old reference model.	ST-33479
	Editor	Landing pages were editable for users that have no permission when a user with permission was logged in before on the same browser.	ST-33412
	File Handling	It was not possible to allow state changes in a file lifecycle definition with the rule "Role:Project".	ST-33433
	File Handling	When cms credentials needed to be entered in order to change the state of a file, to upload a new file version or to create a new file from a template, an error headline and an additional cancel button was shown. In this case, files from templates could not be created.	ST-33467
	Process Import/Export	If a process metamodel ident contained uppercase letters in Stages 6 and this process was exported, it could happen that files which had lifecycles assigned in Stages 6 got no lifecycles assigned on import into Stages 7.	ST-33399
	Process Modeling	Process element names and descriptions could not be translated to Chinese via "Translate" dialog.	ST-33499
	Process Modeling	An association target search hit in a related workspace is now filtered away if there is a search hit with the same identity in an on-demand module, because importing the on-demand element is preferred to creating a remote association in most situations.	ST-33274
	Process Modules	Precondition: A process module was installed as on-demand module and push updates were enabled for the installation. Error: After an element from the module was imported by creating an association to the module, the push updates were deactivated.	ST-33425
	Process Review and Approval	When a manual step had a step description, the step description was displayed in place of the process version description in the task details pop-up.	ST-33505
	Process Views	Clicking on a visualization item twice made page scrolling impossible.	ST-33459
	Security	The Tomcat version information was shown on an error page in case of a bad requests due to an invalid URL. Mandatory manual action Add the following line to "conf/server.xml" inside the <Host name=..> tag. <Valve className="org.apache.catalina.valves.ErrorReportValve" showReport="false" showServerInfo="false" />	ST-33477

Release 7.7.RC.1
Type	Category	Description	ID
	API	Workspaces can now be deleted by the script deleteWorkspaces.bat/deleteWorkspaces.sh. They can be specified by paths and ids.	ST-33313
	API	Associations of target elements with same identities are now "combined" as it is done in the association lists of process views too. This means that only one association is returned when their are actually target elements with the same identities associated. In this case, the new association property "Combined" has the value "true".	ST-33302
	Administration	Exchanging the left and right y-axis of the administration user sessions per day chart for easier readability.	ST-33315
	Administration	Hashing algorithm for local passwords now complies with NIST and FIPS-140 standards	ST-33163 ST-32231
	Compliance	Added new mode to the transferMappings script. Set option -m="identities" when elements in the new reference model shall be found by identities instead of explicit mappings between new and old reference model elements.	ST-33352
	Editor	You can now opt out of the default table styling change that came with version 7.6 (ST-32901) for a single table by setting the "stages75" CSS class in the table properties dialog	ST-33421
	Feedback	Implement optional script evaluation on feedback submission.	ST-33310
	PDF Printing	Introduced new permission domain "PDF Export" that controls in which workspaces PDF document creation from processes and process elements is allowed. By default it is allowed in all accessible processes.	ST-33037
	Process Feedback	Added feedback link system type	INT-1032
	Process Feedback	Multiple feedback systems and hosts can now be configured in config.xml Mandatory manual action Feedback system configurations must be nested inside a <feedback-systems> tag in config.xml. Host require a ident and displayName attribute, e.g. <feedback-systems> <feedback-system name="jira"> <host url="https://jira.example.com/jira/" ident="example" displayName="Example JIRA"> ... </host> <host ... </feedback-system> </feedback-system>	ST-33311
	Process Metamodel	<widget:index> can now be configured to hide the shortname of an element (set "hideShortname" to "true")	ST-33414
	Process Metamodel	Migrate Metamodel script is able to migrate attributes to a different attribute type, including mapping of attribute values for a certain data types.	ST-33195
	Process Modeling	Process Element Associations can be sorted now	ST-33103
	Process Modules	Push the core process association sorting only in case it was changed in the core process since last update. In case of module updates from a working version of a module the sorting is always pushed as the previous state is no longer known.	ST-33318
	Process Review and Approval	Manual automation step now contains a switch for allowing users to schedule the process releases by setting a date via a date picker on user tasks.	ST-33207
	Process Views	The process versions to display process interfaces for are now determined in the following way: Interfaces with working versions are shown when you are in the working version or the current process version was never valid. Interfaces with valid versions are shown when you are in the valid version.	ST-33417
	Process Views	Combined associations can be sorted now.	ST-33312
	Process Views	Associations with identical target elements from different workspaces are now shown only once in association lists.	ST-33175
	Process Views	When associations are grouped with "group-by" attribute in the metamodel, all associations that do not belong to a corresponding subgroup are listed in the subgroup "Other". Now the message property for the name of this subgroup can be configured in the metamodel at the corresponding association-list or association-group element by the attribute "translateOther".	ST-33254
	Process Views	Associations can now be grouped (e.g group activities assigned to phases by their parent elements or group activities assigned to roles by the phases they are executed in). For this purpose the "group-by" attribute is used in the metamodel on "widget:association-list" or "widget:association-group".	ST-33096
	Reporting	Reports can have a security level now: You can only view and execute reports if you have the "Reports" or "Report Administration" permission in any workspace with the appropriate security level. For report edit actions you need "Report Administration" permission for the desired operation (create, modify or delte) with the appropriate security level in any workspace.	ST-32372
	Search	Added a shadow to the search flyout to increase contrast	ST-33378
	Search	Creating a new association via quick assign will now prompt the user to confirm the creation, if there is already an existing element with the same name.	ST-33100

	Administration	Fixes error handling for administrator notification emails.	ST-33245
	Database	Database upgrade steps 5022 and 5248 could run very long when there was a huge amount of records in the table "target".	ST-33404
	Database	Database upgrade failed with JDBC drivers for Oracle 11 or older (e.g. ojdbc6.jar, 11.2.0.4).	ST-33398
	Database	Files on index elements caused an error in the search indexer and are not supported in the UI. Now, there is a new "ensureDatabaseIntegrity" step (11) that moves these files to the LOST+FOUND element	ST-33380

	Process Tailoring	Descriptions of tailoring elements were not refreshed properly after translate	ST-31600
	Process Versioning	Changing the "process.metamodel.default" configuration property could affect the visibility of elements and associations in old process versions when the metamodel was never set explicitly for the process. Now, the metamodel is set explicitly to the default metamodel for all processes in the database where it has not been set explicitly, and for new processes.	ST-33171
	Process Versioning	It was not possible to delete existing process versions and failed process version creation attempts together using multi-delete.	ST-31792
	Process Versioning	Creating a process version was possible while modules were being integrated into the working version and lead to an incomprehensible error message. Now, the "Create process version" button is invisible while a module integration is running in the same workspace.	ST-31796

	Review and Approval	Start step could not be saved if there were no states available.	ST-33056
	Search	Searching reference elements in the compliance widget of a process element sometimes produced no results when there should be results. This happened for example when only few reference elements were in the mapped compliance scopes and you searched for frequently used terms like "Determine".	ST-33032
	Search	Elements could not be found by certain terms in their names like "IT", "FOR" or "TO" because these terms were ignored (stopwords). Now this is possible and these terms are only ignored for the search in descriptions. Mandatory manual action Delete the contents of methodpark/stages/elasticsearch/data and restart the "Stages Search" service and Stages after that. It may take some time until the search index is rebuilt and all search results can be found again.	ST-32983

	User Experience	In various forms (e.g edit process element, edit process, edit workspace, checkin file) it was not always easy to see why the submit button was disabled when a required field had no value and there were many fields. Now the submit button can be pressed and, in case of missing required inputs, the page is scrolled to the first field with an error marker.	ST-31988

	Process Modules	When the user opens the add modules dialog after he already added a module an Error was thrown.	ST-32789
	Process Tailoring	When a compliance sensitive element was tailored in the confirmation popup the background color was almost the same as the highlighting cover.	ST-32599
	Process Views	Resolving of textual references to image resources migrated from V6 was slow.	ST-32587
	Process Views	When an association group with derived associations was defined in the metamodel, and a derived association had multiple original associations pointing to the same target element, only one of the original association comments was displayed. Now, all association comments are displayed, sorted by comment text and separated by ", "	ST-33064

	Process Review and Approval	The search index was not updated immediately when a participant was added, deleted or renamed. This lead to the following problems when trying to associate a participant with a user group: - Newly added participants were not found - Renamed participants were not found when searching for the new name - Deleted participants were still found and an error occurred when selecting them	ST-33005
	Process Versioning	When config property "import.project.attributes.from.modules" is set to "true" and a new valid process version is released, project-scope attribute values shall not be overwritten by the values from the previous valid process version.	ST-33070

ST-32977

Release 7.6.RC.3
Type	Category	Description	ID
	Process Modules	When the valid version of a process module is added to a process, now the installation can be updated with the same valid version again. This is for example helpful if you want to check whether previously shown warnings are resolved.	ST-32205

	General	A permanent banner can now be displayed at the top of the Stages application using the config property "global.main.showBanner". The banner text is set using the properties "global.main.bannerCenterText" and "global.main.bannerLeftRightText" in local.properties. HTML can be used in the values of those properties.	ST-32597
	PDF Printing	The users name and date of pdf creation can be added to each pdf page as a watermark. This needs to be enabled via config property pdf.watermark.enabled=true.	ST-32711

	Review and Approval	Due date is shown in task details.	ST-32931
	API	Process element type names were resolved from the methamodel of the current process instead of the metamodel from the process element.	ST-32816
	Administration	In user group administration the input fields for filtering the user/roles list and adding users/roles by typing had the same placeholder text. Therefore it was not so clear which input field had which purpose.	ST-32201

	File Handling	Added missing message property to mobile view of file revision history.	ST-32832
	General	Multiple instances of "database optimization" and "temp directory cleaner" background threads could run at the same time. This lead to less available worker threads for other background operations (e.g. file uploads, process version creation, process module update) and - in the extreme case - these operations had to wait.	ST-32912
	Process Diff	Continue button in compare dialog was scrolled out of view.	ST-32827

	Process Import/Export	Replacing the working version with a .zip import failed when the process had project-scope attributes	ST-32851
	Process Metamodel	Not configured element types created too many log entries.	ST-32845
	Process Modules	When the valid versions of two process modules were added to a target workspace one after another, there was a special constellation in which certain local associations between elements of the two added modules were not created.	ST-32855
	Process Modules	When process modules were added or updated in some scenarios wrong warnings about unresolvable remote elements were shown.	ST-32747
	Process Modules	When a new process module was added to a workspace, the switch for push updates was not enabled by default.	ST-32849
	Process Review and Approval	Long task comments were not supported.	ST-32958
	Process Review and Approval	When starting a workflow all participant groups were shown instead of only those who participate in the workflow.	ST-32788
	Process Review and Approval	When a user was locally assigned to a participant (in one workspace), and another user globally unassigned later, the unassignment was also executed locally.	ST-32911
	Process Review and Approval	The end step of a workflow was not executed properly when the transition leading to the end step was auto-approved. The workflow was not terminated, and the process state that was defined on the end step was not set.	ST-32917
	Process Review and Approval	Very long step names could not be displayed in the workflow's editable step list.	ST-32915
	Process Review and Approval	Compare button was not shown in task details dialog.	ST-32929
	Process Review and Approval	In the approval history the transition names were shown instead of process version state names.	ST-32875
	Process Review and Approval	In the Release Details and Approval History the Username was in short form. Now the full username is shown. In Release Detail view also the System Tasks are show by System and not by Root User.	ST-32879
	Process Review and Approval	Running workflow instances were visible without process release read permission	ST-32873
	Process Review and Approval	Comment input could not be enforced for approval task completion.	ST-32894
	Process Review and Approval	The value of the "State of the previous valid version" field was not imported correctly when the exported workflow contained a "Set state of previous valid version" step.	ST-32817
	Process Review and Approval	A user step that had the "No state change" option set could not be saved	ST-32870
	Process Review and Approval	Workflows could not be imported if they contained users whose names matched existing users case-insensitive but not case-sensitive.	ST-32872
	Process Review and Approval	Deleting a process version with an active workflow instance made the process version management inaccessible due to internal errors.	ST-32729
	Process Review and Approval	Process version creator was not set in case the baseline was created via a workflow.	ST-32856
	Process Review and Approval	When changing the current language the state names were only updated after reload.	ST-32774
	Process Versioning	Association constraints defined in the metamodel were not only checked for source elements with equal subtype ident, but also when the subtype ident in the constraint was a substring of the element's subtype ident.	ST-32987
	Process Versioning	Process versions could not be created and modules could not be imported if there were no states configured.	ST-32756
	Process Versioning	When the user typed in an invalid process version explicitly in the URL there could be a mismatch between the process shown and the information in the process version switch. Now both suit together.	ST-32805
	Process Versioning	Show better error message if the creation of a process version fails (e.g. when trying to create versions in parallel for the same process or for different processes with remote associations)	ST-32715
	Process Visualization	"Fit to page" switch was duplicated if users switched between flow and grid layout in Internet Explorer on a page with multiple diagrams.	ST-32176
	Process Visualization	Words in non-latin characters were broken with a hyphen ("-") in visualization shape text.	ST-32895
	Process Visualization	Navigating via the process visualization resulted in a process version jump to the valid version in case the process version name contains special characters.	ST-32888
	Reporting	Reports sometimes were displayed in the wrong language when browser language was chosen in the user settings.	ST-32902
	Review and Approval	States were partially used from configuration property instead of as defined in administration.	ST-32922

	Review and Approval	Buttons in workflow sidebar overlapped the card	ST-32815
	Review and Approval	Initial state hint was not shown in list view.	ST-32916
	Search	Search flyout results did not change when the search input field was focussed after switching the workspace.	ST-32466
	Search	When search scope was set to "My workspaces" no search hits from current workspace were found.	ST-32116
	Search	Aggregations in global search flyout (number of hits per type which is shown below the search input field) could count results from the wrong languages. Therefore it might seem there were results for the language viewed in the current workspace but the search results page then showed no results. This count is more realistic now in many situations but it still is (and can only be) an approximate number which may be higher or lower in the search flyout than on the actual search results page due to permission filtering or hits in different languages.

	File Handling	When navigating a "mailto:" URL attached to a Work Product/Guidance element, an empty browser tab was opened in addition to the mail client	32942
	File Handling	Some changes for URLs attached to work products and Guidance elements: - URLs are now displayed in the Stages UI exactly like they have been entered, URLs that do not contain "://" will no longer be prefixed with "http://". - When accessing a URL, you simple click a link with that URL. The access will no longer be redirected to the actual URL by the Stages server. - This means that navigation to URLs will no longer be logged in the access log. For example, URLs will no longer appear in the "Recently Used Files" widget. - This makes "file://" URLs work (if they contain a host name after the "file://" part, and only in IE 11 and Edge). "file://" URLs with local folder names or drive letters are blocked by all current major browsers for security reasons. - This makes "mailto:" URLs work (issue 32942). Mandatory manual action The protocol needs to be set explicitly for all URLs that have been entered without a protocol. For example, "www.methodpark.de" needs to be replaced with "http://www.methodpark.de".	35416

	PWB Basics	Parts of process element state management were visible in release as valid version and process settings form. The switches are now no longer visible until process change/state management is fully implemented.	35723
	PWB Basics	It was possible to select Workspaces in the association browser which have no readable process version for the user. This led to an no access error page. Now such workspaces are not provided in the association browser search. The search results for the default workspace navigation is not changed.	35616
	PWB Basics	Association Quick-Assign: Element name is more than 255 characters.	35232
	PWB Basics	When requesting a specific process version without process version read permissions, the view was not consequently switched to the valid version.	35357 35467

	PWB Distribution	Deleted associations from a core process were not deleted from the corresponding elements on core process update when the elements were overlaid before the update and the overlays were cancelled during the update.	34850
	PWB Distribution	When the root user assigned an element from an on-demand module in a process version other than the Working Version, either a remote association was created or the operation failed. Now the on-demand element is locally imported into the current process version and a local association is created.	35450
	PWB Editor/TWiki	Editor directive plugin threw an error when custom directives were configured in the metamodel.	34816
	PWB Editor/TWiki	Description anchors could not be selected as link targets in the editor link plugin.	31576

	PWB Visualization	DiagramScriptLoader cached is ambiguous.	35916
	PWB Visualization	Ensure the visualization of one metamodel cannot influence the visualization of another metamodel.	35695
	PWB Visualization	Some errors during visualization rendering prevented displaying the process element page at all. Now the visualization just displays an error marker.	35665
	PWB Visualization	The process visualization was incorrectly scaled for IE11 on windows 7.	35554
	Process Diff	Change marker icon was not layouted correctly on index pages.	ST-31219

	Process Management	The end user response time for process navigastion was bad while the Access Log entries were written to the database.	ST-31258
	Process Modeling	[Internal] Two process elements were created when a process element name in Korean was entered using IME input in the left navigation (IE 11, Chrome on MacOS and possibly other browsers). Selecting a character from a list of alternatives (e.g. Kanji characters) using "Return" also submitted the entire input string in some browsers.	ST-31182
	Process Modeling	Fixed to early reactivating of delete button.	ST-30428
	Process Modeling	Modification of show tailoring setting had no effect until reloading the element page. This reload is no longer necessary.	ST-30500

	Search	Search results for default search scope all were wrong.	35588
	Search	Changing the search scope in the user settings needed a browser refresh to recognize the scope change in the search. Furthermore the current search term now remains in the search input field and the workspace scope in the search filter settings is also used for the next search request.	35617 35230 30830
	Search	If the search engine is not reachable the search tab for workspaces showed an endless spinner. Now a message informs the user that the search engine is currently unavailable.	35425
	Search	Calculation of search pages was imprecisely so it could happen that pages were shown even though no results were existing. If there are no search results for the current filter the previous filtertypes are now available.	35242

	Administration	Permission exception on the user notification settings page.	29663
	Administration	Run of update metamodel as administrator, can cause error.	29376
	Administration	The workspace property 'workspace is not active (e.g. stopped or archived)' now also disables background jobs (CMS Prefetch, Structure Prefetch, Resource Synchronization) in addition to metric collectors. This avoids irrelevant administrator notification mails. Also clarified consequences of inactive workspaces in the displayed message.	29204 29205
	At a Glance	Fix caching of non existing file links on Overview page.	30388
	At a Glance	Management overview could not opened when a file configured to be displayed in the management overview had a CMS error.	29317
	CMS	Fixes a potential ClassCastException in Integrity adapter in case the file does not yet exist in the CMS.	30395
	CMS	Files with fixed revision display lock icon of wrong revision. Invalid file version was exported (via CMS Documents Export or HTML Export), if fixed version was set.	30029
	CMS	CMS browser could not be deactivated if desired. It can be globally deactivated now by setting the configuration property "cms.browser.activated" to "false". Note: If there is no intention to use the resource synchronization feature either, the background job "CM Structure Prefetch" can be also deactivated by setting "cms.structure-prefetch.activated" to "false".	30055
	CMS	Copying process does not consider the predefined CMS comments.	29559
	CMS	Predefined comments in CMS profile could not be edited.	28830
	CMS	NPE error during execution of 'restoreCheckouts.bat' script.	29008
	CMS	in combination with mysql instead of the latest the oldest version of Resources and ArtifactInstances was displayed	28978
	CMS ClearCase	No Config Specs was wrongly identified as a configured Config Specs with MySQL	28786
	CMS Integrity	Whitespace at the end of a Change Package Id was not deleted.	29664
	CMS SVN	When a Subversion CMS profile was saved and a wrong url for a subversion repository was used, the subsequent error message did not point to the wrong url in some cases.	30377
	CMS SVN	Create and modify operations were available for Subversion documents even if a read-only system account was used for all operations.	30381
	CMS SVN	A missing SVN host configuration was not correctly detected and logged.	30370
	CMS SVN	Subversion authentication failed sometimes although valid credentials were given.	30380

	CMS Sharepoint	An Exception was thrown, while checking an availability of a sharepoint file.	29478
	CMS Sharepoint	Workaround for illegal SharePoint responses with control characters not allowed in XML 1.0.	29011
	Compliance Workbench	Core protected reference model assignments cannot be deleted.	30920
	Compliance Workbench	No spinner visible during loading compliance reference mappings.	29555
	Database	Username and password column (oracle) for repository configurations was too short.	31667
	Database	Recreating the existing foreign key constraints for the InnoDB MySQL database engine (all existing FK constraints were not created in MyISAM). Converting all columns, tables and the database to use UTF-8 character set and the utf8_bin collation. All new columns and tables will be created with the UTF-8 character set. Capitalizing the quartz table names due to case sensitive file systems (e.g. ext3/ext4). The last changed timestamp wasn't updated after changing an element in the element table, as well as in the history table in the database. Updating the MySQL connector from version 3.1.12 to 5.1.40. Mandatory manual action The "URIEncoding" attribute in the "Connector" tag defined in the "server.xml" file has to be changed from "ISO-8859-1" to "UTF-8". In order to have a complete UTF-8 data encoding the configuration property "default.encoding" has to be set also to "UTF-8" if explicitly specified (UTF-8 is the default).	30733 31216 30823 30634
	Database	Refix for 30141: Cleanup of duplicate mapping attribute associations (e.g. custom ratings and custom comment in Compliance Workbench) failed sometimes.	30583
	Database	Database cleanup script could not handle duplicate mapping attribute associations (like comments of custom types in the Compliance Workbench).	30141
	Database	Sometimes records were being saved more than once if no modifications were applied.	28784
	Database	Clob values produce error during database upgrade with oracle	29360
	Database	Clients with unusually long FQDNs were unable to use Stages because the values could not be saved into the database. Increased the maximum length of the corresponding database column.	29062
	Facade	Association with domain SYSTEM fetches all elements which leads to poor performance. New system association filter fetches only local elements (e.g. process.getEntities('containsRole@SYSTEM,elementClass=local').	31600
	Facade	User role attributes are not available in facade V1.	31208
	Facade	Queriying custom comments or custom ratings via Facade V1 resulted in an error when the reference element had more than one of those.	30582
	Facade	A NullPointerException occurred when a no longer configured metamodel was used and accessed via facade.	30467
	Facade	In freemarker facade (v2) the way to determine whether the working revision of a project is locked was inefficient. Now projects have the new method "isWorkingRevisionLocked()".	30373
	Facade	Under heavy load it was possible that freemarker process element views produced an IllegalArgumentException.	30115
	Facade	Resource revision properties not available in facade V1.	29537
	Facade	Multiple Resource properties, the effective user language and lifecycle information for Artifacts and ArtifactInstances where not accessible, further CoreProcess mappings for Processes and ProcessElements where missing	29930
	Facade	Attribute change link not available in Facade V2.	29623
	Facade	Resolving all roles of a user could lead to SecurityException in case one of the roles is within an unreadable workspace. Those roles are now filtered out correctly.	29396
	Facade	Using an empty string as filter (as intruduced with 28726) can lead to various problems and has been disabled again	28726
	Facade	ProcessElementClass filters do now apply to Comment-only too	28725
	File Handling	It took very long (minutes) to open file upload dialogs or the loading even failed when a big number of users (thousands) could be selected to be notified by email. Now the number of users to be displayed is limited by the configuration property "user.view.limit" (default value: 1000).	29823 29827
	File Handling	Downloading CMS-managed resources in process versions via associations or search results always delivered the latest file revisions. Now the fixed revisions (which were the latest resource file revisions at the time the process version was created) will be downloaded in process versions.	29768
	File Handling	When lifecycle state names contained whitespace characters their names were not displayed correctly in email notifications about status changes.	29048
	Global	Update tomcat to version 8.5.9 for a Security Fix and fixing a potential BufferOverflowException.	31581
	Global	Fixed a client-side memory leak on the dashboard caused by embedding videos.	31596
	Global	New tomcat version 8.5.8 that includes several security fixes. Mandatory manual action In tomcats server.xml replace for all connectors the protocol attribute 'protocol="org.apache.coyote.http11.Http11Protocol"' by 'protocol="org.apache.coyote.http11.Http11NioProtocol"'.	31521
	Global	Fixed broken links in listing of used open source frameworks.	26669
	Global	Update of Oracle JDBC driver to the latest version	30527
	Global	Tomcat 8 uses UTF-8 URIEncoding by default. Mandatory manual action Since this version, connectors in tomcat/conf/server.xml require an explicit setting called 'URIEncoding'. If the attribute 'URIEncoding' of the connector in server.xml does not exist yet, then it must be added. The value of 'URIEncoding' must correspond to the value of config property 'global.defaultEncoding', e.g. 'UTF-8' or 'ISO-8859-1'. Please note that the database encoding must also match these configuration settings. Example: <Connector port="8080" URIEncoding="ISO-8859-1" [...]	30442
	Global	Name-based external links were broken if the names contained UTF-8 special characters.	30256
	Global	External packages codemirror and ckeditor came with unused javascript files on Stages installation	30319
	Global	When Internet Explorer and Kerberos SSO is used, it was not possible to relogin after a logout without a browser restart. Furthermore negotations with multiple roundtrips did not work and resulted in failing authorizations.	30031
	Global	Remove Stages Support contact information on the login page.	29870
	Global	upgrade Tomcat to 7.0.64 for various security and performace fixes	29833
	Global	Index elements were not displayed in plural naming mode in navigation drawer	29753
	Jazz / RTC Support	When a process with an integrated core process was copied which contained associations with assigned enactment scripts and overlaid source or target elements, the process copy contained errors: Enactment scripts from the original process were referenced. This lead to the follow-up problem for RTC exports that the affected :associations were exported with the default enactment script.	29676
	MS Project	Tasks with remote association (e.g.mappings to reference model) to element type 'Phase' are not exported to MS-Project.	31475
	PWB	Don't fail during process update if multiple LOST+Found folders exist	29273
	PWB Attributes	In Stages Composer, the state of a process element was updated when the value of a project attribute was changed. Now, the scope of custom attributes is exported in .zip exports so that Stages Composer can handle them properly.	30426
	PWB Attributes	The state of a process/process element was not updated when the value of a custom process attribute was changed.	28119
	PWB Attributes	Use Pkit.properties to translate attribute values	29947
	PWB Attributes	Project attributes for which default values were defined were not initialized with these default values until the attributes were edited.	29840
	PWB Attributes	When default options were defined for a custom multi-selection attribute, these default options were always selected when editing the attribute, even when "no options selected" was saved before.	29828
	PWB Basics	Two images with a name only different in umlaut/non-umlaut could not be uploaded in the description of one process element.	32020
	PWB Basics	Unicon validators did not check process elements (including shadows) which would be shown as having the default (=first configured) subtype, but actually didn't have it in the database.	31912
	PWB Basics	Error markers for process version names and user names which were shown after a server-side check for uniqueness were not removed after a change of the input field	32010
	PWB Basics	It was possible to create two Valid Versions in one workspace by two concurrent 'Release as Valid Version' actions. The second action will now fail with an error because the Valid Version is locked.	31939
	PWB Basics	When a new process element was created in association list it got the wrong subtype.	31895
	PWB Basics	Prevent ConcurrentModificationException in assignement dialog.	21427
	PWB Basics	Copying/linking elements could cause illegal parent element references when user session were shared in multiple browser tabs (which is not supported). Now copy/link actions will fail in these cases instead of causing database inconsistencies. Additionally, the dababase cleanup script (ensureDatabaseIntegrity) now moves process elements to top-level when they wrongly have a parent element from anoter process.	31628
	PWB Basics	UserRole assignment was unusable slow when high numbers (> 50.000) of Users are assigned to a Role	30431
	PWB Basics	"Analyze local elements" function also listed integrated core process elements. Now it only lists elements which are not dependent of a master in another process: No links to other elements (shadows) and no integrated core process elements.	29046
	PWB Basics	While changing the resource type of a CM managed resource to image without uploading an image no proper error message was displayed.	28629
	PWB Basics	When a process model was instantiated, local reference model scopes of the process model appeared as public scopes in the derived process instances.	29872
	PWB Basics	Switching to unsafe mode without process lead to a NullPointerException.	29887
	PWB Basics	Pressing the return key in the association comment field caused an unintended form submit. The return key is ignored now.	29882
	PWB Basics	Logout and Return button performed no action.	29819
	PWB Basics	Analyze errors in process description returns incorrect cycle.	29807
	PWB Basics	Adding or replacing users in role assignment dialog displays errors or wrong assignment information.	29527 29533
	PWB Basics	make user role assignment dialog more robust	29374
	PWB Basics	Process elements with short names had different sort order in element index tree and element children list.	29213
	PWB Basics	Unclear error message when privileged state was set automatically.	28944
	PWB Basics	Process element index can be extended beyond a-z by using the "process.index.characters" ConfigProperty, for special characters like Â§ oder Ã„ÃœÃ– or Japanese/Chinese ... languages tomcat and stages must have an UTF-8 setup	6775
	PWB CMS	Link of process version was corrupt in case the version was created with warnings.	32031
	PWB CMS	It was not possible to leave the process version rename mode via return without changing the version name.	32005
	PWB CMS	Fix styling of process readiness check.	31967 31933
	PWB CMS	Global and association constraints can now be configured with a severity of either 'error' (default) or 'warning'.	31969
	PWB CMS	Adapted constrait checks in Unified Configuration: missing responsible roles have severity 'error', missing output work products have severity 'warning'. Global checks (state, links in descriptions) are enabled. No other checks are configured.	31970
	PWB CMS	Process readiness check was not available as a standalone operation.	31955
	PWB CMS	The import, deletion and release of a process could be executed when an operation was already in progress which could lead to inconsistencies	31979 32009
	PWB CMS	Fixed permission check for the process import in case the working version is also the valid version.	31993
	PWB CMS	If 'process state management' is disabled, it is still possible to set the state of a process version, but updating the state of all process elements is not available in the dialogs for 'Release as Valid Version' and 'Set State'. Additionally, the icon and dialog title for 'Release as Valid version' has been improved.	31963 31932 31989
	PWB CMS	Improve process version list usablility.	31964
	PWB CMS	Multiple process version creation possible by double submit.	31943
	PWB CMS	Fix order of menu entries.	31950
	PWB CMS	When selecting multiple process versions for deletion, a click on a page button would leave the selection. The paging buttons are now not available during selection.	31944
	PWB CMS	Creation of a new valid version was not possible in case the process contained images.	31930
	PWB CMS	When a new valid version was released it was not possible to copy the project data from the previous valid version but skip the metric reports. Now this can be accomplished by setting the config property "copy.project.data.releaseValidVersion.skipMetricReports" to "true".	31711
	PWB CMS	Deleting remote associations in process baselines possible.	29554
	PWB Distribution	The core process update option "Import all, replace existing and delete irreplaceable" for metric reports and data collectors had no effect if another option was chosen for files.	31724
	PWB Distribution	Releasing of an integrated process baseline as valid version removes master_process_identity of project data.	30865
	PWB Distribution	The parent/child hierarchy between overlays was lost when replacing the working revision	31534
	PWB Distribution	Update link in list of integrated core processes was displayed, even if process create or delete permission on level secret was missing. In this case the core process update failed.	30390
	PWB Distribution	Could not add user role assignments to roles of integrated core processes which had restricted permissions.	30316
	PWB Distribution	Permissions were removed on core process update in the following scenario: A user is assigned to a role that was imported with a core process. The role grants permissions to the user. The user would not have these permissions without the role. When the user updated the core process, the permissions were removed from the updated role.	30276
	PWB Distribution	Repair database inconsistency concerning duplicate external references (compliance) due to which core process updates failed.	30085
	PWB Distribution	If an integrated core process was updated, associations without target elements were created in some cases when the option "Delete obsolete elements" was selected. This had the following consequences: Process elements with these inconsistent associations could not be viewed anymore and subsequent core process updates failed in some cases with ElementNotFoundExceptions.	30032
	PWB Distribution	Multiple core process elements could adopt the same element. The core process import could fail due to this error if custom attributes were configured. Now the elements will not be adopted if there are multiple core process elements with the same names.	29604
	PWB Distribution	If annotated core process elements were overlaid, the annotations were lost when cancelling the overlays.	29395
	PWB Distribution	Permissions were duplicated if an overlaid core process role had a permission with the current workspace as scope, the process was copied and the overlay was cancelled in the target workspace.	29310
	PWB Distribution	Compliance mapping of index pages and external reference mappings from a core process were not removed when the core process was removed.	29313
	PWB Distribution	No update link was diplayed on "Analyze core processes" page in the following case: The original core process was exported, then its workspace was deleted and a new work space with the same name but a different path was created where the core process was imported again.	29297
	PWB Distribution	Compliance mappings of index elements and external mappings were never protected from changes when integrated with a core process. In a special case this lead to the duplication of external mappings by core process updates.	29281
	PWB Distribution	Updating an integrated core process failed if a comment-only association was deleted in the source core process and the affected core process element had multiple comment-only associations.	29232
	PWB Distribution	When a core process contained a core process with a comment-only association and it was then integrated back into its original source core process, the comment-only association was duplicated. This could cause the failure of subsequent core process updates.	29224
	PWB Distribution	The process update preview always executed the process update even in case the user decided to abort the operation after previewing the results.	29134
	PWB Distribution	Ensure collected historical metric results are not deleted in case the metric collector is replaced by a core process update.	28950
	PWB Editor/TWiki	It was not possible to define clickable image map areas that have no link target (href=[[#]]).	30253
	PWB Editor/TWiki	If the user tried to link to another workspace in the editor link dialog, the initial link name was overwritten.	29986
	PWB Editor/TWiki	Even if a user was only allowed to view the valid process version, it was possible to navigate to a different process version via TWiki link.	29985
	PWB Editor/TWiki	It was possible to open the image upload dialog, even when the user didn't have the permission to add images.	28703
	PWB Editor/TWiki	The editor failed to render descriptions (StackOverflowError) with content looking like Java stacktraces.	29878
	PWB Editor/TWiki	Improve performance for textual reference parsing in image maps.	29933
	PWB Editor/TWiki	Rendering of process descriptions could take a long time for links within quotes and trailing whitespaces.	29384
	PWB Editor/TWiki	Color picker table and cell properties was not always closed with Internet Explorer.	29660
	PWB Editor/TWiki	Default textual references in the editor embed resource dialog did not contain the full element path for non-image resources.	29316
	PWB Editor/TWiki	The editor diff view showed an exception message when the language browser cookie could not be read.	29320
	PWB Editor/TWiki	Internal links with an inner textual reference were converted to unmanaged sections and not cleaned.	29196
	PWB Editor/TWiki	Cycles of textual references lead to a StackOverflowError when analyzing a process for description errors.	29025
	PWB Editor/TWiki	The advanced tab in the table cell dialog did not show the property values for id and class.	29042
	PWB Import/Export	When exporting a process with a local shadow-real relationship to a .zip file and importing it to another workspace, the shadow element was referencing the real element in the original workspace. This replaces the fixes for #31842 and #31811 with a more general solution that works even for use cases without Stages Composer. However, Stages Composer 6.6.4 is needed when the process is imported into Stages Composer and exported back.	31846
	PWB Import/Export	When an element was linked to another element in the same process, the link relationship was lost when replacing the working revision of the process with a .zip export of the same process.	31842
	PWB Import/Export	Sorting of remote associations was lost on export and re-import of processes.	30086
	PWB Import/Export	HTML Export of freemarker based views does not contain image-maps for visualisations.	28813
	PWB Import/Export	Properties for attributes of compliance references (Percentage, URL, Commentary, Doc-Record Comment etc.) were not exported to Stages Composer	29982
	PWB Import/Export	The value of selection and multiselection attributes with default options was not exported correctly to Stages Composer: For new process elements in which the "Advanced" section has not been opened while creating the element, an empty value was exported instead of the default value.	29779
	PWB Import/Export	prevent concurrent import problems by locking the target process before reading the (potential huge) zip data	29808
	PWB Import/Export	ZIP import failed when imported process contained associations from overlaid elements to other elements which were no core process elements.	29799
	PWB Import/Export	Default process state was lost, after export/import roundtrip.	29639
	PWB Import/Export	Large process ZIP exports (>500MB) could not be imported into Stages.	29276
	PWB Import/Export	External IDs (needed for ARIS import mappings) were lost when a process was exported and reimported (for example when a process was modified in Stages Composer and then exported back to Stages Web).	27524
	PWB Metamodeling	Comment-only associations were not shown for editing when using upper case letters in target subtypes.	29568
	PWB PDF	Fixes the PDF Diff print.	30502
	PWB PDF	PDF print did not print strike through text in case the text had a background color. This is fixed by an additional CSS style in printBasePDF.css.	30210
	PWB Process Locking	When a user locked a process during an ongoing resource synchronization, resources in the CM system were synchronized regardless of process state. Now, if a user locks a process during a background resource synchronization, new or existing CM resources will not be synchronized after the lock is set.	29294
	PWB Resources	An exception occurred when viewing a description resource that was embedding itself directly or indirectly. Now, an error message is displayed when the user attempts to save a resource with circular embedding.	29206
	PWB Resources	Resource overview could not be generated with resource names containing double quote characters.	29292
	PWB Visualization	Exceptions that occured during rendering of visualizations were logged without stacktrace, which prevented root cause analysis.	30072
	Search	Search term of global search in input field was lost after page reload.	31383
	UE Styling	New items in lists (e.g. new users) were not highlighted with lower screen resolutions (e.g. tablet, smartphone).	31425
	UE Usability	Virtual keyboard in mobile devices was kept open after logging in.	31514
	UE Usability	Multiple members remove does not exit the delete mode.	31406

	Administration	Users cannot be assigned to roles anymore when the config property 'user.view.limit' for the maximum number of users in lists is set to 5000 or more (default value is 1000) and this limit is reached. Mandatory manual action Decrease value of 'user.view.limit' or set an increased value for the Tomcat connector property 'maxParameterCount' in server.xml (see https://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-8.0-doc/config/http.html).	31296
	Administration	Checking if the user has the necessary permissions to perform process and management operations in the navigation drawer.	31177

Mandatory manual action Existing global file browser property (<property name=cms.browser.activated value=false/>) must be migrated to the new CMS Type Property '<cms-property name=cms.browser.activated value=false/>' (default: true). If the resource synchronization is not needed either the CMS Structure Prefetch can also be disabled with the property '<cms-property name=cms.structure-prefetch.activated value=false/>' (default: true).	30967
	CMS	A NullPointerException occurred when cms browser button without cms profile was clicked.	30638
	CMS Integrity	Detection of pending revisions was broken.	31288
	CMS Integrity	CMS Structure Prefetch failed for Integrity projects with unreadable subprojects. As a consequence the CMS browser showed no files at all for the corresponding Integrity projects.	31185

	Facade	Report script uses property from wrong metamodel.	30679
	Facade	It was not possible to retrieve element version history entries. Usage: var versionHistoryEntries = element.getEntities("containsHistory@SYSTEM"); (Properties: Id, VersionId, Name, Description, DisplayDescription, Date, CreatedBy, State)	30756
	Facade	It was not possible to retrieve other versions of a process element from the other baselines. Usage: var elementInOtherBaselines = element.getEntities("baselinedElements@SYSTEM");	30655

	PWB Basics	Action icons in association lists were not aligned and scaled correctly.	31352
	PWB Basics	Fixed an error that occured in rare circumstances when clicking the button for inline editing of descriptions.	31467
	PWB Basics	Multi-language correspondence associations were not exported in Process.xml. This made it impossible to reintegrate multiple language versions into one process in Stages Composer. This functionality is now available in Stages Composer 6.6+	31281
	PWB Basics	When association were sorted by target element order, the workspace names were always compared, even between local and remote associations. The effect of this was that remote associations could appear before or after local associations depending on the name of the current workspace. Now, remote associations always appear after local associations when the associations are sorted by target element order.	31452
	PWB Basics	Opening an element view which was not configured in the metamodel resulted in an internal JavaScript error. Now "Element not found" error is displayed.	31387
	PWB Basics	Workspaces with unreadable processes were not accessible.	31393 31409
	PWB Basics	Ensure the process visualization is updated after modification of an association comment.	31294
	PWB Basics	An "Edit" icon was displayed in the "Description" widget even when the user had no editing permission.	31243
	PWB Basics	Use only valid URI characters in the association path syntax to prevent encoding issues.	31295
	PWB Basics	Workspace selection did not correctly filter the available workspaces according to the users permissions.	31245
	PWB Basics	Do not check the subtype against the set of allowed subtypes when saving a process element, because this makes it impossible to edit many elements in the "Software Engineering" sample process after the latest unified_configuration changes	31234
	PWB Basics	All subtypes were assignable in association browser.	31233
	PWB Basics	The menu items for creating children in the element context menu were not immediately updated after changing the subtype of the element.	31165
	PWB Basics	The illegal character '\|' in element names is now suppressed when adding new process elements.	31187
	PWB Basics	If a process element has no valid subtype, the default subtype is pre-selected when editing the element.	31163
	PWB Basics	On the page for editing process elements, the names of subtypes are now translated more reliably, especially after page refresh.	31140
	PWB Basics	After deleting a process element, in some situations child elements or the parent element was selected, which lead to inconsistent behaviour.	31156

	PWB Basics	No view perspective was selected after user login.	30620
	PWB CMS	Releasing a new valid version with the setting "Copy project data from previous valid version" could create LOST & FOUND elements as containers for the copied project data. This behaviour can be unwanted because the LOST & FOUND elements cannot be deleted when a valid version is not the working revision. Now the creation of LOST & Found elements can be disabled for this scenario by setting the configuration property "copy.project.data.releaseValidVersion.createLostAndFound" to "false".	30885
	PWB CMS	When a new valid process version is released, project data can be copied from the previous valid version. The target process elements for this project data are retrieved by internal identities, element paths or - as last fallback - element names. Matching by element paths or names can be problematic for some use cases. Now it is possible to enable matching by internal identities only by setting the configuration property "copy.project.data.matchElementByIdentityOnly" to "true".	30833
	PWB Distribution	Core process import/update report does not contain permission and user assignment updates.	30376
	PWB Editor/TWiki	Copy & paste was not working in inline edit mode	30758
	PWB Editor/TWiki	The native browser spell checker is no longer disabled in the rich text editor. Use Ctrl + right click to access the context menu with the spell checking suggestions. Browser spell checking is available in Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox (english version) and Microsoft Internet Explorer (Windows 8 and newer)	30146
	PWB Editor/TWiki	List position is not displayed correctly, when image text flow is set to 'right'.	30827
	PWB Import/Export	Newly created process descriptions were not displayed after a ZIP import.	31429
	PWB Import/Export	Web export generates HTML tags in diagram shapes for comment-only associations.	31107
	PWB Import/Export	Replacing the working revision failed with an exception when artifacts with artifact instances had a "\" character at the end of the name, the artifacts had to be looked up by name, and "Copy project data from previous working revision" was enabled.	30711
	PWB Import/Export	Database inconsistencies (e.g. reference model mapped to itself) occurred when a reference model was copied and both - the original model and the copy - were deleted and reimported or imported on another Stages server.	30586
	PWB Metamodeling	Fix handling of association groups containing multiple target element types or synthetic associations.	31434
	PWB Visualization	Visualization widget did not reflect user parameters added after initial rollout.	31496
	PWB Visualization	Additional node labels were positioned in the wrong table cell in case many labels are added to the same cell. This is fixed now.	31236
	PWB Visualization	Prevent diagram reload on tab switch. Allow the browser to cache diagrams caching. Provide a mechanism for the web ui to enforce a reload of the diagram.	30651
	PWB Visualization	The image map was not correctly scaled after changing a visualization parameter.	30791
	PWB Visualization	Fix a performance bottleneck when using packageImport statement in visualization scripts.	30732
	Search	Workspaces name had too much relevance for the order of search results.	31350
	Search	Performing an exact search for a substring resulted in elements containing that substring.	31384
	Search	The displayed total number of search results did not match the actual number of results when there was only 1 result page.	31395
	Search	Anonymous users had no "Current workspaces" filter option in the "Workspaces" search results filter.	31349
	Search	Adjusting the search filter to ignore process filtering on workspaces without process.	30946
	Search	Many search requests cause high server load.	30922
	Search	Ensuring search suggestion prefer process elements over process element folders.	30831
	UE Styling	The user icon of the Anonymous user appeared clickable in the navigation drawer.	31369
	UE Usability	Process elements that were never manually or alphabetically sorted by a user were displayed in different orders. In the process navigation on the left they were ordered alphabetically. When they were shown as target elements of associations in most cases they were ordered by creation time. Now the sort order is always alphabetical if elements are not manually sorted.	31317
	User Experience	When an invalid username or password was entered, the password input field is now focused	31424
	User Experience	Headings of dialogs no longer wrap but are shortened now. Also, the font size on small devices has been decreased.	31073

Compliance

ST-36056
The script to transfer reference mappings and coverage settings from an old reference model to a new reference model version (transferMappings.bat) did not work if the new reference model elements were mapped to the old ones instead the other way around. This fix changes the behavior so that the mappings need to be made from new to old instead of from old to new.

For instance, a work product state or quality level that was not input for any activity caused a warning for "Checks if each work product is an input to at least one activity.". Now, association constraints are only evaluated against the parent element, and the associations of all dependent element children are merged before the constraint is evaluated.

When a process element view contained a widget with some readonly attributes (due to missing edit permissions) an edit icon was displayed nevertheless in situations when the corresponding element had other editable attributes.

Process Modeling

ST-34685
The creation of dependent elements via quick assign lead to a no access error in read-only remote workspaces. Now it is no longer possible to trigger a create action without create permission in the remote workspace.

Process Modeling

ST-34271
When a process module was refactored by moving elements to other modules and renaming them there, it was not possible anymore to update the elements with their new module in processes where the old version of the module was installed. New elements were created then. Now this problem is resolved and there is a new restriction: Moving elements to other processes will not be allowed if some or all of the elements already exist in the other workspace (identities already exist).

When these modules were added to the same process it depended on the sequence of the additions if the associations were there or not.

Process Modules

ST-34800

Release 7.9.2.0

API

ST-34471
There was no getStableUrl function for process versions. A stable url is a link to the dedicated process version. This is important for valid versions when you do not want links tht always lead to the current valid version (this is what getUrl does) but to the version that was valid at the time the link was created.

API

ST-34544
When you called getUrl on a project (workspace) element, you always received a link to the process start page in the valid version of the corresponding workspace. Now the link leads to the process version from which getUrl was called. Additionally fixed NullPointerExeption that occurred when getUrl was called in a workspace that did not have a process.

When additional languages were configured in the "supported.languages" property, all message properties could not be resolved for these languages. If you copied the English stages.properties file and appended the language-specific suffix (e.g stages_ja.properties) this copy was removed again by the installer when Stages was updated. Now the copy of the stages.properties file will be done automatically when the update script (update.bat/update.sh) is executed. If you want to translate message properties you can (still) do this by putting a local properties file with the language-specific suffix into the conf folder (e.g. local_ja.properties) and translate the message properties in it. The changes are applied when update script is executed.

PDF Printing

The association path syntax was extended to enable restricting the type of dependent elements that can be assigned in the association widget. (targetElementType.targetSubtype[targetDependentType]:associationType[sourceDependentType])

Process Modeling

ST-34035
Associations to dependent elements will now display the correct icons

Process Modeling

ST-33958
Multiple dependent element widgets can now be configured on the same site. A type can now have multiple dependent element subtypes.

Process Review and Approval

ST-34197
Tasks of release automation system steps like process version creation will now be retried (11 times by default) with increasing delay when they fail due to concurrent operations. Additionally unfinished tasks of this category will be restarted when the Stages service is restarted. The same mechanism is also used now for manually triggered push updates of process modules.

API

ST-34097
It was not possible to get the participants and roles which were assigned to a user group via API.

API

ST-33802
Since Stages 7.7 the API combined associations with identical target elements in different workspaces (returned only one association instead of multiple associations). This behavior can now be changed to return all associations by setting the association filter "combine" to "false". Example: element.getAssociations("responsible::MODEL@LOCAL,combine=false")

Administration

ST-33817
The link "Request a license" on the administration dashboard did only work for the root user.

ST-33755
Message property for failed script upload was missing under admin jobs.

Authentication

ST-34204
When SSO is used together with multiple browser tabs, it was possible that more than one license was booked for this user.

Authentication

ST-34184
When SSO is used the session timeout had not the indented effect in case the user was on a page that uses polling, as the user was immediately logged in again. Now the user is redirected to the logout page.

Authentication

ST-33942 ST-33959
SAML response signature check was made required by default with ST-33837. Now the default is changed back such that at least one of response or assertion need to be signed. Improved signature validation error messages. In case Stages must accept only singed SAML responses, please set saml.response.signature.required in config.xml.

Authentication

ST-34038
After a successful login via Kerberos SSO, it was necessary to clear the browser cache to be able to use Kerberos SSO again.

Process Feedback

ST-33652
Fixed feedback issue creation with PTC-ILM 12

Process Import/Export

ST-34227
Associations of reference models have not been exported at all. Now only the mapping associations of reference models with other processes are omitted because this could be a big amount and then it would take too long to import the reference models.

ST-34055
Search hits for dependent elements (e.g. quality levels, states, ...) now show the appropriate subtype icons in the search results page if an icon is available. Otherwise the default icon (tag) is shown. Additionally, if the search hit was in the description of a dependent element, now the dependent element name is also show in the search hit on the search results page.

Search

ST-34077
When the description of a dependent element (e.g. quality level) was changed, you could not immediately find it by searching for a term from the changed description.

Release 7.8.RC.0

API

ST-33955
Now it is possible to check if dependent elements are configured via 'element.getPkitClass().isAssociationValid("hierarchy::HIERARCHIC@LOCAL,targetRole=dependentElements")'.

API

ST-33866
Elements can be tailored via an API command: command.newScriptTailoringCommand(process, tailorAdd, tailorRemove, justification)

API

ST-33941
Target elements of associations have the property "Combined". Its value is "true" multiple identical associations hav been combined.

API

ST-33864
Workspaces can be created by the following API command: commands.newCreateWorkspaceCommand(targetParentId, workspaceName)

API

ST-33863
The tailoring wizard can now be executed by a script: commands.newAutomateTailoringWizardCommand(targetWorkspaceId, selectedAnswers).execute()

API

ST-33865
Workspace variables can now be saved by a script: commands.newSaveWorkspaceVariablesCommand(targetWorkspaceId, variables ).execute()

API

ST-33894
Process modules can initially be added to a workspace by the following API command: commands.newAddModulesCommand(targetWorkspaceId, moduleSelections).

API

ST-33594
Now we can get the dependent elements of an element with 'element.getEntities("hierarchy::HIERARCHIC,targetrole=dependentElements")'. The container element of an dependent element can be retrieved with 'getEntities("hierarchy::HIERARCHIC,targetrole=containerElement")'. Additionaly dependent elements return "true" as value of the property "Dependent".

Process Review and Approval

ST-33579
A "Show Changes" button is now displayed in process release notification emails

Process Versioning

ST-33550
When a new Working Version is initially created in a workspace, now additionally an empty Valid Version is created. This avoids complex situations in process element views that occur when the Working Version is also the Valid Version. Moreover process viewers now will see the empty Valid Version instead of the unreleased Working Version process until a new Valid Version is oficially released.

Process Views

ST-33606
Display associated dependent elements in association lists with links to the process elements to which they belong to.

If the working version is the valid version, the version selection now has two entries for the working version (valid working version and working version).

Process Visualization

ST-33553
Visualizations are now collapsible.

Search

ST-33601
Process elements now can also be found by names and descriptions of their dependent elements (like maturity levels).

Search

ST-33544
Global search now finds process elements by custom attribute values (types: "STRING", "TEXT", "INTEGER" and "SELECTION") without having to adapt the metamodel for this. However, if you don't want certain attribute types to be included in search, you have to set 'searchable="false"' on their metamodel definitions.

ST-32738 ST-32745 ST-33691 ST-33692 ST-33693
Stages now provides alt tags for all image elements, labels for form elements, proper structured html hiearchies for lists, a lang attribute on the html element and attributes on interactive elements that improve the readability for screen readers. The code monitoring to keep the functionality on a high level will be done by a ESLint accessibility rule set.

API

ST-33829
It was not possible to get information about user-participant associations for workspaces

API

ST-33826
It was not possible to control if the remote associations were retrieved to working or valid versions via stages#getAssociations. They were always filtered by the currently viewed process version (Associations with working versions were returned when you were in the working version or the current process version was never valid before. Associations with valid versions were returned when you were in the valid version). Now you can call getAssociations with last parameter "_wv" (getAssociations(sourceProcessIds, targetProcessIds, sourceElementTypeIdent, targetElementTypeIdent, associationTypes, "_wv")) when you want to get all associations with working versions. Set last parameter to "_vv" if you want to get all associations with valid versions. Set last parameter to "null" if you want to get associations to all process versions unfiltered. If you call getAssociations without this last parameter the behaviour will be like before.

Release 7.7.0.0

Process Modeling

ST-33276
In external links of process element descriptions and in file properties, URLs were not validated. Invalid URLs caused subsequent errors (e.g. when they should be exported to Excel by a report). Now the URLs are validated with this pattern: "^[A-Za-z][A-Za-z\\d.+-]*:\\/*(?:\\w+(?::\\w+)?@)?[^\\s/]+(?::\\d+)?(?:\\/[\\w#!:.?+=&%@();\\-/]*)?$".

Now the message property for the name of this subgroup can be configured in the metamodel at the corresponding association-list or association-group element by the attribute "translateOther".

Process Views

ST-33096
Associations can now be grouped (e.g group activities assigned to phases by their parent elements or group activities assigned to roles by the phases they are executed in). For this purpose the "group-by" attribute is used in the metamodel on "widget:association-list" or "widget:association-group".

Reporting

ST-32372
Reports can have a security level now: You can only view and execute reports if you have the "Reports" or "Report Administration" permission in any workspace with the appropriate security level.

Process Review and Approval

ST-32856
Process version creator was not set in case the baseline was created via a workflow.

Process Review and Approval

ST-32774
When changing the current language the state names were only updated after reload.

ST-32466
Search flyout results did not change when the search input field was focussed after switching the workspace.

Search

ST-32116
When search scope was set to "My workspaces" no search hits from current workspace were found.

Search

ST-32720
Aggregations in global search flyout (number of hits per type which is shown below the search input field) could count results from the wrong languages. Therefore it might seem there were results for the language viewed in the current workspace but the search results page then showed no results. This count is more realistic now in many situations but it still is (and can only be) an approximate number which may be higher or lower in the search flyout than on the actual search results page due to permission filtering or hits in different languages.

The attributes "licensePoolIdent", "defaultLicenseType" and "defaultRolesUsername" in the element "identity-provider-attribute-match" of a SAML configuration can optionally contain a JavaScript expression (instead of a static string representing the value). This expression can be used to interprete SAML attributes returned by the SAML Identity Provider and return the according value. An expression is detected and interpreted, if the attribute value starts directly with an equals sign. JavaScript control flow statements, the "throw" keyword, newlines and logging statements can be used. Example (using "licensePoolIdentOfX" for SAML responses where the attribute "organization" equals "x" and otherwise using the default license): licensePoolIdent="= organization=='x' ? 'licensePoolIdentOfX' : ''"

Administration

Some changes for URLs attached to work products and Guidance elements: - URLs are now displayed in the Stages UI exactly like they have been entered, URLs that do not contain "://" will no longer be prefixed with "http://". - When accessing a URL, you simple click a link with that URL. The access will no longer be redirected to the actual URL by the Stages server. - This means that navigation to URLs will no longer be logged in the access log. For example, URLs will no longer appear in the "Recently Used Files" widget. - This makes "file://" URLs work (if they contain a host name after the "file://" part, and only in IE 11 and Edge). "file://" URLs with local folder names or drive letters are blocked by all current major browsers for security reasons. - This makes "mailto:" URLs work (issue 32942).

Mandatory manual action
The protocol needs to be set explicitly for all URLs that have been entered without a protocol. For example, "www.methodpark.de" needs to be replaced with "http://www.methodpark.de".

Introduced transaction safety for MySQL. Tables are converted to the InnoDB engine.

Mandatory manual action
The supported transaction level is READ-COMMITTED. Therefore, the section [mysqld] of the MySQL configuration needs to contain the line 'transaction-isolation=READ-COMMITTED'. Database administrators need to be aware of the conversion to InnoDB, since the data is stored differently now. By default, InnoDB stores multiple MySQL databases in one file. MyISAM used to store every database in its own directory and every table in one file. Backup strategies may need to be adapted. Please note that copying the directory formerly used by MyISAM will no longer back up any data.

Tomcat 8 uses UTF-8 URIEncoding by default.

Mandatory manual action
Since this version, connectors in tomcat/conf/server.xml require an explicit setting called 'URIEncoding'. If the attribute 'URIEncoding' of the connector in server.xml does not exist yet, then it must be added. The value of 'URIEncoding' must correspond to the value of config property 'global.defaultEncoding', e.g. 'UTF-8' or 'ISO-8859-1'. Please note that the database encoding must also match these configuration settings. Example: <Connector port="8080" URIEncoding="ISO-8859-1" [...]

31969
Global and association constraints can now be configured with a severity of either 'error' (default) or 'warning'.

PWB CMS

31970
Adapted constrait checks in Unified Configuration: missing responsible roles have severity 'error', missing output work products have severity 'warning'. Global checks (state, links in descriptions) are enabled. No other checks are configured.

PWB CMS

31955
Process readiness check was not available as a standalone operation.

PWB CMS

31979 32009
The import, deletion and release of a process could be executed when an operation was already in progress which could lead to inconsistencies

PWB CMS

31993
Fixed permission check for the process import in case the working version is also the valid version.

PWB CMS

31963 31932 31989
If 'process state management' is disabled, it is still possible to set the state of a process version, but updating the state of all process elements is not available in the dialogs for 'Release as Valid Version' and 'Set State'. Additionally, the icon and dialog title for 'Release as Valid version' has been improved.

PWB CMS

31964
Improve process version list usablility.

PWB CMS

31943
Multiple process version creation possible by double submit.

PWB CMS

31950
Fix order of menu entries.

PWB CMS

31944
When selecting multiple process versions for deletion, a click on a page button would leave the selection. The paging buttons are now not available during selection.

PWB CMS

31930
Creation of a new valid version was not possible in case the process contained images.

PWB CMS

31711
When a new valid version was released it was not possible to copy the project data from the previous valid version but skip the metric reports. Now this can be accomplished by setting the config property "copy.project.data.releaseValidVersion.skipMetricReports" to "true".

PWB CMS

29554
Deleting remote associations in process baselines possible.

PWB Distribution

31724
The core process update option "Import all, replace existing and delete irreplaceable" for metric reports and data collectors had no effect if another option was chosen for files.

PWB Distribution

30865
Releasing of an integrated process baseline as valid version removes master_process_identity of project data.

PWB Distribution

31534
The parent/child hierarchy between overlays was lost when replacing the working revision

PWB Distribution

30390
Update link in list of integrated core processes was displayed, even if process create or delete permission on level secret was missing. In this case the core process update failed.

PWB Distribution

30316
Could not add user role assignments to roles of integrated core processes which had restricted permissions.

PWB Distribution

30276
Permissions were removed on core process update in the following scenario: A user is assigned to a role that was imported with a core process. The role grants permissions to the user. The user would not have these permissions without the role. When the user updated the core process, the permissions were removed from the updated role.

PWB Distribution

30085
Repair database inconsistency concerning duplicate external references (compliance) due to which core process updates failed.

PWB Distribution

30032
If an integrated core process was updated, associations without target elements were created in some cases when the option "Delete obsolete elements" was selected. This had the following consequences: Process elements with these inconsistent associations could not be viewed anymore and subsequent core process updates failed in some cases with ElementNotFoundExceptions.

PWB Distribution

29604
Multiple core process elements could adopt the same element. The core process import could fail due to this error if custom attributes were configured. Now the elements will not be adopted if there are multiple core process elements with the same names.

PWB Distribution

29395
If annotated core process elements were overlaid, the annotations were lost when cancelling the overlays.

PWB Distribution

29310
Permissions were duplicated if an overlaid core process role had a permission with the current workspace as scope, the process was copied and the overlay was cancelled in the target workspace.

PWB Distribution

29313
Compliance mapping of index pages and external reference mappings from a core process were not removed when the core process was removed.

PWB Distribution

29297
No update link was diplayed on "Analyze core processes" page in the following case: The original core process was exported, then its workspace was deleted and a new work space with the same name but a different path was created where the core process was imported again.

PWB Distribution

29281
Compliance mappings of index elements and external mappings were never protected from changes when integrated with a core process. In a special case this lead to the duplication of external mappings by core process updates.

PWB Distribution

29232
Updating an integrated core process failed if a comment-only association was deleted in the source core process and the affected core process element had multiple comment-only associations.

PWB Distribution

29224
When a core process contained a core process with a comment-only association and it was then integrated back into its original source core process, the comment-only association was duplicated. This could cause the failure of subsequent core process updates.

PWB Distribution

29134
The process update preview always executed the process update even in case the user decided to abort the operation after previewing the results.

PWB Distribution

28950
Ensure collected historical metric results are not deleted in case the metric collector is replaced by a core process update.

PWB Editor/TWiki

30253
It was not possible to define clickable image map areas that have no link target (href=[[#]]).

PWB Editor/TWiki

29986
If the user tried to link to another workspace in the editor link dialog, the initial link name was overwritten.

PWB Editor/TWiki

29985
Even if a user was only allowed to view the valid process version, it was possible to navigate to a different process version via TWiki link.

PWB Editor/TWiki

28703
It was possible to open the image upload dialog, even when the user didn't have the permission to add images.

PWB Editor/TWiki

29878
The editor failed to render descriptions (StackOverflowError) with content looking like Java stacktraces.

PWB Editor/TWiki

29933
Improve performance for textual reference parsing in image maps.

PWB Editor/TWiki

29384
Rendering of process descriptions could take a long time for links within quotes and trailing whitespaces.

PWB Editor/TWiki

29660
Color picker table and cell properties was not always closed with Internet Explorer.

PWB Editor/TWiki

29316
Default textual references in the editor embed resource dialog did not contain the full element path for non-image resources.

PWB Editor/TWiki

29320
The editor diff view showed an exception message when the language browser cookie could not be read.

PWB Editor/TWiki

29196
Internal links with an inner textual reference were converted to unmanaged sections and not cleaned.

PWB Editor/TWiki

29025
Cycles of textual references lead to a StackOverflowError when analyzing a process for description errors.

PWB Editor/TWiki

29042
The advanced tab in the table cell dialog did not show the property values for id and class.

PWB Import/Export

31846
When exporting a process with a local shadow-real relationship to a .zip file and importing it to another workspace, the shadow element was referencing the real element in the original workspace. This replaces the fixes for #31842 and #31811 with a more general solution that works even for use cases without Stages Composer. However, Stages Composer 6.6.4 is needed when the process is imported into Stages Composer and exported back.

PWB Import/Export

31842
When an element was linked to another element in the same process, the link relationship was lost when replacing the working revision of the process with a .zip export of the same process.

PWB Import/Export

30086
Sorting of remote associations was lost on export and re-import of processes.

PWB Import/Export

28813
HTML Export of freemarker based views does not contain image-maps for visualisations.

PWB Import/Export

29982
Properties for attributes of compliance references (Percentage, URL, Commentary, Doc-Record Comment etc.) were not exported to Stages Composer

PWB Import/Export

29779
The value of selection and multiselection attributes with default options was not exported correctly to Stages Composer: For new process elements in which the "Advanced" section has not been opened while creating the element, an empty value was exported instead of the default value.

PWB Import/Export

29808
prevent concurrent import problems by locking the target process before reading the (potential huge) zip data

PWB Import/Export

29799
ZIP import failed when imported process contained associations from overlaid elements to other elements which were no core process elements.

PWB Import/Export

29639
Default process state was lost, after export/import roundtrip.

PWB Import/Export

29276
Large process ZIP exports (>500MB) could not be imported into Stages.

PWB Import/Export

27524
External IDs (needed for ARIS import mappings) were lost when a process was exported and reimported (for example when a process was modified in Stages Composer and then exported back to Stages Web).

PWB Metamodeling

29568
Comment-only associations were not shown for editing when using upper case letters in target subtypes.

PWB PDF

30502
Fixes the PDF Diff print.

PWB PDF

30210
PDF print did not print strike through text in case the text had a background color. This is fixed by an additional CSS style in printBasePDF.css.

PWB Process Locking

29294
When a user locked a process during an ongoing resource synchronization, resources in the CM system were synchronized regardless of process state. Now, if a user locks a process during a background resource synchronization, new or existing CM resources will not be synchronized after the lock is set.

PWB Resources

29206
An exception occurred when viewing a description resource that was embedding itself directly or indirectly. Now, an error message is displayed when the user attempts to save a resource with circular embedding.

PWB Resources

29292
Resource overview could not be generated with resource names containing double quote characters.

PWB Visualization

30072
Exceptions that occured during rendering of visualizations were logged without stacktrace, which prevented root cause analysis.

Search

31383
Search term of global search in input field was lost after page reload.

UE Styling

31425
New items in lists (e.g. new users) were not highlighted with lower screen resolutions (e.g. tablet, smartphone).

PWB Basics

31467
Fixed an error that occured in rare circumstances when clicking the button for inline editing of descriptions.

PWB Basics

31281
Multi-language correspondence associations were not exported in Process.xml. This made it impossible to reintegrate multiple language versions into one process in Stages Composer. This functionality is now available in Stages Composer 6.6+

PWB Basics

31452
When association were sorted by target element order, the workspace names were always compared, even between local and remote associations. The effect of this was that remote associations could appear before or after local associations depending on the name of the current workspace. Now, remote associations always appear after local associations when the associations are sorted by target element order.

PWB Basics

31387
Opening an element view which was not configured in the metamodel resulted in an internal JavaScript error. Now "Element not found" error is displayed.

PWB Basics

Workspace selection did not correctly filter the available workspaces according to the users permissions.

PWB Basics

31234
Do not check the subtype against the set of allowed subtypes when saving a process element, because this makes it impossible to edit many elements in the "Software Engineering" sample process after the latest unified_configuration changes

PWB Basics

31233
All subtypes were assignable in association browser.

PWB Basics

31165
The menu items for creating children in the element context menu were not immediately updated after changing the subtype of the element.

PWB Basics

31187
The illegal character '|' in element names is now suppressed when adding new process elements.

PWB Basics

31163
If a process element has no valid subtype, the default subtype is pre-selected when editing the element.

PWB Basics

31140
On the page for editing process elements, the names of subtypes are now translated more reliably, especially after page refresh.

PWB Basics

31156
After deleting a process element, in some situations child elements or the parent element was selected, which lead to inconsistent behaviour.

30620
No view perspective was selected after user login.

PWB CMS

30885
Releasing a new valid version with the setting "Copy project data from previous valid version" could create LOST & FOUND elements as containers for the copied project data. This behaviour can be unwanted because the LOST & FOUND elements cannot be deleted when a valid version is not the working revision. Now the creation of LOST & Found elements can be disabled for this scenario by setting the configuration property "copy.project.data.releaseValidVersion.createLostAndFound" to "false".

When a new valid process version is released, project data can be copied from the previous valid version. The target process elements for this project data are retrieved by internal identities, element paths or - as last fallback - element names. Matching by element paths or names can be problematic for some use cases. Now it is possible to enable matching by internal identities only by setting the configuration property "copy.project.data.matchElementByIdentityOnly" to "true".

Process elements that were never manually or alphabetically sorted by a user were displayed in different orders. In the process navigation on the left they were ordered alphabetically. When they were shown as target elements of associations in most cases they were ordered by creation time. Now the sort order is always alphabetical if elements are not manually sorted.
