Release Notes for Allegra 9.0.1

Stability Improvements and Bug Fixes

Allegra version 9.0.1 includes stability improvements and bug fixes as well as some functional enhancements.

Important: Please clear your browser cache after the update to ensure that all changes are loaded correctly.

If you are using the Allegra Service Desk application, please ensure it is updated as well to maintain compatibility.

For upgrades from Allegra 8 to Allegra 9, the migration guide continues to apply.

Improvements

[31530] Version number no longer visible to users who are not signed in
[31572] REST API documentation aligned with Allegra 9
[31581] The enforced switch to HTTPS can now be turned off
[31849] Reworked the Docker installation and its manual
[31908] Fewer failed sign-in attempts against the LDAP server
[31983] Search queries with quotation marks now return results
[32104] Allegra and Service Desk available in Hungarian
[32324] Printing and export of Gantt and Scheduler views through a dedicated print service
[32371] Notification about rejected emails follows the configured settings

Two settings are available for the new print service: ganttAndSch.printServer.translateURLsToAbsolute determines where the print service obtains its rendering data. The default false suits installations with strict security rules; with true, the data is loaded from your own installation. server.tomcat.max-http-form-post-size in conf/application.properties now defaults to 5 MB, and very large plans may require increasing this value.
