Studio now allows assignments of DataType Date to DataType Timestamp without validation error
Changes to which item buttons the Toolbar acts on
Previously, the Toolbar always acted on the selected, open item in the Document well (the selected tabbed document). This was non-standard UX
Now the Toolbar acts on the selected open item only if it has focus
If the user instead changes focus to an Item node in the Project Explorer tree view, the Toolbar acts on the Item represented by the node
Fix that using a Null value for a Relationship lookup key in the Target Map resulted in an error when publishing Target Map
Fix that clicking on the column header of the column list in the Expanded Sql dialog on a Source View caused Studio to crash
Fix that using the Lookup Rule return types True if Found, false if not found and False if found, true if not found cause a validation error 0036: No Valueset output column specified on Lookup Rule
Fixes that Studio crashes when opening a Static Valueset from the Search result list. Ticket 2342
Director Client

Engine Framework
The generated engine code is now friendly to unit test of Bags and Manual Rules
Generated Bags now has a new method ResetProperties() to reset all generated Properties (defined in Studio) to default values
No longer creates error files on bulk insert of source data (did occasionally cause errors when many concurrent load jobs)
The Engine Generators have been upgraded to use the new Visual Studio SDK project file format. Based on this upgrade, the generators now are able to keep track of all generated files
Obsolete files that are no longer generated are automatically removed
New files are automatically added
The generated engines are now targeting net standard 2.1 instead of .NET Framework 4.7.2
Refactoring of the *.csproj files for the engine projects is required. Contact hopp for assistance in this refactoring

Portal
Migration
When importing a Translation Valueset
Values are now validated for data truncation (Ticket 2289)
Valueset is refreshed in the Portal after successful import (Ticket 2089)
Fix that the Portal did not show adjacent Event parameter placeholders correctly if no space between them ({0}{1})
Fix that baseline delta indicators did not work in Portal Statistic (Ticket 2225)
If an Event has no grouping parameters defined in Studio, the resulting single line in the intermediate, grouped event list in the Portal now has an explanatory text: Event has no grouping parameters
Director Administration moved to Portal Settings
From this release, the Portal Administrator users may configure Director Administration inside the Portal
Most of the screens are migrated one on one with their functionality at the global Portal level Settings. A set of improvements have been made with regard to UI in terms of matching the Portal look and feel and a couple of actions have been decommisioned.
Improvements:
The actions for managing an item of a list are now context menu actions that can be accessed by right click on a list row or using the context menu button
"Add" buttons are located now in the toolbars of the list
The Refresh button is no longer available as the pages are displayed with latest data every time they are visited
The Project Runtime is now managed inside a Project level setting without the need to specify the linked project. The functionality is very similar with Managing the plans or milestones
The dropdown filters in both Options and Tracks pages are now located in the toolbar instead of the bottom of the window
Changes in functionality
Projects Runtime list is no longer available as each of the Project runtime can be managed individually under a Project Setting context
Project runtime "Default Language" field has been removed. The languages are managed in the Project Settings inside the Portal
The connections strings are now simple TextBoxes strings without the Windows popup that allowes managing each of the connection string property
Subscriptions and Email Notifications
The Portal users may receive email notifications when an element that they subscribed to is changed by another user. This means that they are interested in any activity related to the element.
