DRS 6.1.15 - October 10th, 2024

Andrew Dotto Updated by Andrew Dotto

Development of DRS Version 6.1.15 is now complete and was released in October, 2024. DRS 6.1.15 contains a number of fixes and component updates to ensure the product remains stable and secure. It can be deployed as a patch to version 6.1.14



New and Improved Functionality


DRS-7450 Several vulnerabilities have been resolved as part of this release

What have we done?

The following improvements have been made to better serve the security posture of the DRS 6 product.

  • OpenSSL have now been removed from the installation and Tomcat configuration as it is no longer required
  • PHP can now be updated via the PATCH_PACKAGE command
  • Apache will now be deployed at 9.0.86 or higher

Why have we done this?

Identified risks have resulted in the need to upgrade the infrastructure associated with DRS

How will you benefit?

Updated infrastructure ensures DRS continues to remain compliant and secure.

Details of the change

DRS Installation and Patch process will deploy the required changes noted above.



DRS-7783 Enable the ability to update Project Planner Diary Item Status directly from Diary

What have we done?

An enhancement has been made to the right click on the DRS Diary to allow Project Planner Diary items status to be updated.

Why have we done this?

Project Planner needed a product consistent method of providing manual Status Updates to Diary Items.

How will you benefit?

You can now update the status of published and non-published diary items, to ensure that any manual updates for any reason can be consistently provided to ensure Project Plans remain updated in line with activity.

Details of the change

On the right click, the option to now ‘Update Diary Item’ will be displayed;

Selecting the option will display the Update Status menu modal

This function performs in the same way as the standard Update Status job modal, including when Completed is selected, where the option to update the Completion Status will be displayed

Description

Change Notes

Issue Resolution

DRS-7765

Planned Job Duration is occasionally not correct when using Manual Scheduling

Bad data format values were possible to pass into the date and time fields in Manual Assignment which could still successfully schedule a solution.

 

A change has been made to allow for poorly formatted date and time value, with validation errors showing when outside of the validation rules.

 

Issue Resolution

DRS-7822

Jobs occasionally do not dispatch to mobile after being suspended and replanned

It was previously possible to suspend a Job with a status of NEW, which then applied incorrect status values to the Schedule Item objects.  This was causing validation issues with despatch to mobile providers.

A change has been made to ensure going forward, jobs with a status of NEW cannot be suspended.

 

Issue Resolution

DRS-7849

Jobs cannot be edited or viewed if suspended while locked

Jobs which were LOCKED and then SUSPENDED and allowed to archive into the PAST were permanently locked and could not be edited.

 

This has been resolved and jobs which are LOCKED and then SUSPENDED within the archive can now be edited as required.

 

Issue Resolution

DRS-6836

Bookmarks do not work correctly if assigned Workers are deleted

Deleting workers assigned to a Bookmark resulted in the Bookmark becoming invalid and it only loading the Diary Start page.

 

Diary Bookmarks will now validate the worker list against available workers and will display the remaining available workers.

If all workers on a Bookmark are deleted, a warning will be displayed.

 

Issue Resolution

DRS-7179

Duration Offset value in Job no longer valid.

The Duration Offset value is no longer relevant in DRS 6.1

This field has been hidden to improve data quality.

 

Issue Resolution

DRS-7184

Diary Shortcuts to be renamed Diary Bookmarks

Diary Shortcuts have now been renamed Diary Bookmarks to be more consistent with the rest of the product.

 

Issue Resolution

DRS-7943

Personal Bookmarks cannot be edited if global manage bookmark permission is not enabled

Personal Bookmarks could not be edited if the global Manage Bookmarks function was not enabled.

This has been changed to allow Users to edit Personal Bookmarks that they have saved.

 

Issue Resolution

DRS-7957

Adding Personal Unavailabilities does not warn users jobs will be suspended

A bug was found where a Personal Unavailability could be added using the Unavailabilities configuration menu and it did not warn the user that it could suspend jobs.

 

This has been resolved and the user will now be warned.

 

Issue Resolution

DRS-8124

Project Planner Diary Template has some data issues

Additional data points have been added to the Diary Template.  Data surfaced on datapoints have been verified against expected data.

 

Issue Resolution

DRS-8272

Updating Diary Item status does not immediately reflect in planning board

Using the UPDATE STATUS button to update Diary Items was not updating the planning board after the change was saved.

This has now been resolved and updates will be displayed after saving.

 

Issue Resolution

DRS-7792

Worker sectors select list is not filtered for Agency configuration

When editing a worker’s sectors, all sectors were being displayed, even if Agency filtering was configured to be applied.

This has now been resolved and Sectors displayed will be based on Agency filtering, unless the ‘show all sectors’ option is enabled.

 

Issue Resolution

DRS-8017

On upgrade from DRS 5.7, Diary Bookmarks are not retaining display period

Diary Bookmarks were not maintaining their display period on the upgrade, based on the previous version configuration.

 

This has been resolved.
