| 4 | +## Version 3.1 – 12.Sep.2025 |
| 5 | + |
| 6 | +* Upgrade notes |
| 7 | + |
| 8 | + * PHP 8.4 is supported, PHP 7.2 is not. |
| 9 | + * The `oAuthTypes` setting is no longer understood. |
| 10 | + * The `oAuthTypes` `group_mappings` subsetting is replaced by |
| 11 | + `group_roles`. |
| 12 | + * Previous versions of the `batch/backupdb.php` script could produce |
| 13 | + invalid backups in the case that the database contained large documents. |
| 14 | + |
| 15 | +* Accounts |
| 16 | + |
| 17 | + * Replace “merge accounts” functionality with “Manage email”. Manage email |
| 18 | + allows transferring reviews and linking accounts, where the primary |
| 19 | + linked account redirects review requests and receives shared authorship. |
| 20 | + * OAuth can import group affiliations and roles (Tobias Fiebig). |
| 21 | + * Expose ORCID iD and country in user lists and downloads. |
| 22 | + * Profile supports reauthentication more cleanly. |
| 23 | + * Improve LDAP support. |
| 24 | + * Add support for extension tracks. For instance, the `settings!` |
| 25 | + extension track defines who can modify settings. |
| 26 | + |
| 27 | +* Search |
| 28 | + |
| 29 | + * Improve named search UI; expose highlighted searches. |
| 30 | + * Add support for dot tag patterns (for instance, tag `#dot-rgb-ffff00` |
| 31 | + adds bright yellow dots). |
| 32 | + * Systematize view options. |
| 33 | + * Add `cmtafter:DATE` search term. |
| 34 | + * Treat some Unicode spaces like normal spaces in parsing. |
| 35 | + * Fix searches within specific response rounds. |
| 36 | + |
| 37 | +* Assignments |
| 38 | + |
| 39 | + * The autoassigner can run as a background job, supporting longer |
| 40 | + processing times. |
| 41 | + * Fix bug where “bad pairs” were misparsed by the autoassigner. |
| 42 | + * Bulk assignments supports upload of very large assignment files. |
| 43 | + * Improve handling of assignment files that generate large numbers of |
| 44 | + errors. |
| 45 | + * Assigner messages about potential conflicts include buttons for |
| 46 | + immediately confirming or ignoring each conflict. |
| 47 | + * The `copytag` and `newtag` assigners can move all matching tags (for |
| 48 | + instance, set `tag` to `my*` and `newtag` to `renamed-*`). |
| 49 | + * Improve UI display of large PC sets in conflict editing and review |
| 50 | + assignment pages. |
| 51 | + |
| 52 | +* Submissions |
| 53 | + |
| 54 | + * Improve handling of complex field conditions: avoid crashes. |
| 55 | + * Support fields with edit conditions that depend on other fields with |
| 56 | + edit conditions. |
| 57 | + * Introduce author certification submission field type. |
| 58 | + |
| 59 | +* Reviews |
| 60 | + |
| 61 | + * Review preferences page supports shuffled preferences via |
| 62 | + `sort:shuffle`. |
| 63 | + * Preference fuzzing can group preferences into bands to reduce the impact |
| 64 | + of collusion. |
| 65 | + * Assign review IDs randomly. |
| 66 | + * Improve handling of field names with no ASCII characters. |
| 67 | + * Administrators can clear all review ratings. |
| 68 | + * Detect conflicts when saving a review that’s been concurrently updated |
| 69 | + in another tab. |
| 70 | + |
| 71 | +* Comments |
| 72 | + |
| 73 | + * Refer to comment “threads” rather than topics; update thread UI. |
| 74 | + * Don’t expose identities of past shepherds. |
| 75 | + * Fix bugs where @mentions were not always reset. |
| 76 | + * Fix bug where @mentioned user might receive multiple emails for a single |
| 77 | + comment. |
| 78 | + * @Mentions of the current user are highlighted. |
| 79 | + * Censor comment display in more cases: @mentioned users are anonymized to |
| 80 | + comment viewers who can’t see the relevant identities. |
| 81 | + * Add setting that allows authors to initiate comment exchanges. |
| 82 | + * Add separate track permission for commenting. |
| 83 | + |
| 84 | +* Formulas |
| 85 | + |
| 86 | + * Checkbox review fields can be used in formulas. |
| 87 | + * Improve graph displays. |
| 88 | + * Support `pagecount`. |
| 89 | + |
| 90 | +* API |
| 91 | + |
| 92 | + * Begin stabilizing and documenting API. |
| 93 | + * Reduce opportunities to enumerate users through the API. |
| 94 | + * Add `reviewhistory` API call. |
| 95 | + |
| 96 | +* Mail |
| 97 | + |
| 98 | + * Prefer `{{TEMPLATE}}` style to `%TEMPLATE%`. |
| 99 | + * Add site URL to mail signatures. |
| 100 | + * Better handle thousands of emails. |
| 101 | + |
| 102 | +* Batch scripts |
| 103 | + |
| 104 | + * Settings can be filtered by tag. |
| 105 | + * Add `batch/actionlog.php` script. |
| 106 | + * Add `batch/hotcrapi.php` script for contacting HotCRP APIs. |
| 107 | + |
| 108 | +* Many other bug fixes and improvements. |
