List of changes in version 23.3

Overview

This article provides a list of the issues fixed and new functionality added in Dundas BI, and for Managed Dashboards and Reports in Logi Symphony where applicable.

Version 23.3.0.1000

Behavior changes

TicketDetails
77669 The built-in map resources have been updated with changes to the states and union territories of India.
92595 Custom legend items are now displayed first consistently when a legend displays both custom items and items populated by a connected visualization, if their sorting or categorization is not customized. They previously could initially be displayed last when first added.
93620 In reports and scorecards, formulas used directly in a child group metric set are no longer filtered by the parent group values by default. When using a function such as AVG, for example, specify its alignment hierarchy arguments when you want to group its results by the parent hierarchy.
93701 The default level of logging is now Warning instead of Error unless the Log Filter has been customized in configuration settings. This displays messages by default that are typically meant to be addressed, and some messages that previously appeared as a Warning may now be displayed as Information instead.
93732 The createAppDb command in the dt command line tool generates a secure, randomly generated password by default if the /adminPassword is not specified. The resetAdminPassword command can be used afterward if necessary.
93758 Users can no longer specify their current password as the new one when changing their password.
93901 The .NET API method ILoggingService.GetLoggerForExtension has been deprecated, and calling the new GetExtensionLogger method is recommended. If your extension has implemented the ILoggingService interface, you will need to update your code and rebuild the extension for this version.
94011 If using the optional low-latency RabbitMQ broadcast service outside of Kubernetes deployments, the exchange added under the virtual host should be named dundas.broadcast, with type=Fanout, Durable=true. This is handled automatically in Kubernetes deployments.

New functionality

TicketDetails

93245 You can now drag a code library or localization from the Explore window onto the canvas of a dashboard or other view when you want to use it, rather than adding it through the Properties window.
