Pydio Cells Versions Save

This new release brings many improvements, both under the hood and for the end users.

Welcome Go 21!

The binaries are now built using Go21, and this breaks compatibility with Go19: make sure to update your toolchain!

It allowed us to update a couple of dependencies in the meantime, including CaddyServer and QUIC.

Public Links Direct Download

Accessing programmatically to a file shared via a Public Link (as a file or inside a shared folder) was previously sub-optimal, as one had to guess the shared workspace "slug" and create a token to build the download URL. We added a WebDAV layer served at https://yourdomain/public/{unique-hash}/dav/ to provide simpler access.

If the link is fully public, the GET request can be sent as is, with the path to the file, e.g. https://yourdomain/public/{unique-hash}/dav/my-shared-photo.jpg .

If it is password-protected, use a Basic-Authentication header, setting anything as the username, and the link password as the password.

Cells Enterprise Improvements

Cells Flows

Our no-code workflow engine ships many new interesting features, actions, and templates:

• Persist ACL Action did not correctly report errors
• Anko ListPolicyGroups function had a filter typo
• New Template for changing a user identifier inside all services
• New User Load Permissions actions for export/reporting purposes
• Flow-level parameters now support more field types (same as metadata types), allowing to building rich forms for webhooks.
• Usermeta Update action properly update "Tags" fields known values.
• Webhooks buttons should be disabled if corresponding job is inactive

Storage Reporting More Accurate

Locally stored DAO (BoltDB/Bleve) correctly reports their disk usage, and this is now aggregated and displayed in the Audit > Storage dashboard.

Minor Fixes

• Metadata grouping feature introduced in previous version was improved: groups are supported in the search engine, and groups expand/collapse status is remembered locally in the browser.
• Fixed various scrolling issues
• [Ent] SFTP Gateway: failed to download files when using FileZilla client
• [Ent] Fixed missing audit logs in some places
• [Ent] Cannot edit "Site" value for native connector
• [Ent] A clearer message is shown when the license is expired
• [Ent] Security Policies rules editor had glitches

This feature release includes many interesting improvements, as well as a traditional batch of bug fixes.

Features

Files and Metadata

• Metadata Grouping: User metadata fields can now be grouped into categories and subcategories, which can improve the display when defining a large number of them.
• Memory Footprint Improvement: The memory footprint has been significantly improved during the synchronization of large structured data sources (-25% memory usage).
• Mounted FS Datasource: A new environment variable has been added to allow cross-mounting of data sources. This is not recommended for production use, but it can be useful for temporarily importing data.

Cells Flows

• Import/Export Flows: Flows can now be imported and exported by directly uploading and downloading JSON files.
• New "Logging" Action: A new "logging" action has been added to Cells Flows, which provides advanced options such as audit logging and metrics.
• Improve GoTemplate/Anko Playground: Save edited values locally - Updated sprig library for GoTemplates functions.
• Glitches in the display of queries in Cells Flows have been fixed.
• Multiple selectors stacked on one action in Cells Flows have been fixed.

Command Line

• New command to capture structured datasource sides: A new CLI command has been added to capture both sides of a structured data source (S3 storage vs. SQL index) in a BoltDB or JSON format. This can be helpful for debugging synchronization issues.
• New command to change user login: A new CLI command has been added to change a user's login. This change will be applied to all services that use logins as keys internally.
• Improved profiling output folder names: The names of the profiling output folders have been improved.

Fixes

• GRPC Broker: The GRPC Broker no longer federates all subscribers into a single stream. Instead, it creates a separate stream for each subscription. Although it opens a bit more connections between processes, this change fixes the "stream stuck after 30s" error.
• Unclosed Stream: The unclosed stream in the NodesClient library has been fixed (PostNodesChanges).
• The hard-coded "1-hour" timeout in the resync action has been removed.
• Quota: The cache has been shortened and the i18n explanation string has been fixed.
• Material Table: The multi-selection mode has been fixed.
• Users Service: A possibly ignored error in the update user transaction has been fixed.
• A possible race condition would show an error while deleting a public link (although correctly removed)
• Mailer: fixed a button display issue in Win10+Outlook App
