This section contains the release notes for Umbraco Workflow 10 including all changes for this version.
Ensure scheduling information is displayed in workflow history
Fixes an issue where dates were not correctly localised for scheduled workflows
Fixes an issue where scheduled workflows did not apply the release/expire date if the content node was already scheduled
Ensure converting integers to strings uses the invariant culture to avoid unexpected formatting
Fixes an issue where an awaited call does not trigger an AngularJS digest, causing the UI to hang.
Fixes an issue where dates were not correctly localised in the Backoffice
Fixes an issue related to sending notification emails in sites with a large number of Workflow groups
BREAKING CHANGE resolving includes removing the DateTimeSettings class. This class allowed setting the preferred format for dates in the Backoffice. These settings were never applied, or were ignored when localising dates. Corresponding settings in app settings should be removed.
Fixes an issue where SQL query generation exposed a potential injection vector. This fix was also released as a patch for Plumber v2 and v10.
Fixes discrepancy between a JSON property attribute value and property name in WorkflowTaskCollectionViewModel, which resulted in unexpected JSON values.
Fixes bug where workflow submission was not respecting user's language access permissions
Updates internal license validation to handle licenses registered with 'UmbracoWorkflow' or 'Umbraco.Workflow'
Introduces lazy constructor parameters to prevent database access when Workflow is installed as part of a new Umbraco install
Adds Italian translations
Corrects conditions for displaying alert banner in Workflow settings to ensure licensed settings are excluded from hidden or readonly calculations
Fixes bug where new nodes were not requiring workflow approval due to inherited permissions not being applied
Fixes bug where 'Lock active content' and 'Allow administrator edits' settings were not correctly applied
Removes embedded licensing, replaced with Umbraco.Licenses
Adds external reviewer option for content reviews
UX improvements for initiating workflows
Removes 'Applies to' option from node-level workflow configuration as it was superceded by the equivalent global setting
Aligns embedded licensing UI with Umbraco.Licenses
BREAKING CHANGE: ContentReviewReminderEmailer.SendReviewReminders.reviews parameter changes from Dictionary<UserGroupPoco, List<ContentReviewConfigPoco>> to Dictionary<IWorkflowGroup, List<ContentReviewConfigPoco>>, which in turn changes the type of the SentEntities property in WorkflowContentReviewsEmailNotificationsSendingNotification and WorkflowContentReviewsEmailNotificationsSentNotification. UserGroupPoco implements IWorkflowGroup, but contains properties not present on the interface. These can be accessed by casting to the implemented type.
