Release Notes 8.19.x

Rich text fields now support adding inline images of up to 100 MBs.

A "Select from Linked Attachments" option has been added to the rich text editor under the Insert Image tool, enabling users to embed images directly from the attachments section of the test entity. Deleting the original image from the attachment section will make the embedded image unavailable.

A "Copy Link" option has been added for all files in the attachments section, allowing users to copy the URL of an image or file. This URL is intended solely for referencing files or images within the application's rich text editor. Deleting the original image or file from the attachment section will make its reference inaccessible.

Accessing non-image files added as attachments using URLs outside the QMetry application will require QMetry authentication for added security, except from within the integrated Jira.

Improved performance for loading issues synced from the Jira on the Issue List and Link Issues screens across the application.

Fixed a bug where cloned projects integrated with Jira failed to display newly added Jira custom fields or sync data updates after the original project was archived.

Fixed a bug where renaming a project with a large amount of data did not correctly change the root folder name for each module. This issue caused test cases to disappear from their folders, making them unsearchable when filtering by folder in the test suite and unavailable for linking.

Fixed a bug that prevented assigning project access to read-only users and caused an exception.

Fixed a bug that prevented assigning project access to users created as read-only while converting them to regular users.

'Release and Cycle' permissions have been introduced to control the creation, modification, archiving, and deletion of releases and cycles within a project. These permissions are now separate from the 'Modify' project permissions, offering more granular control over their management.

Users with 'Modify' permissions for test cases, requirements, or test suites can now archive their respective folders. Archiving folder permissions are now separated from 'Delete' and merged with 'Modify'.

Users with 'Execute' or 'Modify' permissions for Test Suites can now update the 'Execution Assignee' and 'Planned Date' for test case runs.

The test execution screen now displays the execution status for each group combination of a parameterized test case run, helping users quickly identify any combinations that have failed or remained unexecuted. This feature is available only for projects that have enabled the setting to derive the test case execution status from the statuses of its steps.

The Test Execution screen now shows the folder path for test cases, making it easier for users to identify them within a specific folder hierarchy. Users can sort the folder path, filter test cases, and view those belonging to a selected folder or its entire hierarchy. Additionally, the folder path column is now visible in the test case list view when linking test cases to the test suite.

A new 'Total API Utilization Report' has been introduced under the 'Login Summary Dashboard,' enabling administrators to track the daily and hourly allocation and consumption of Open API and Automation API requests.

Super Admins can now monitor API usage by setting up email alerts for daily or hourly Open API and Automation API requests when they near a defined threshold limit, helping to prevent overages.

Users now have the option to mask sensitive information, such as API keys and authorization tokens, in header values or the webhook body when creating or editing a CI/CD rule. These masked values will remain hidden in the user interface and cannot be retrieved, providing an added layer of protection for sensitive data.

The browser right-click options for image thumbnails and previews are now restricted to avoid unintentionally sharing URLs with unauthorized individuals.

Navigating to the Projects menu now displays and highlights the currently logged-in project at the top of the list, making it more convenient for project administrators to access and manage settings.

The 'Projects' section in the QMetry menu is now called 'Project Management'. This change clarifies that all project setup tasks are managed within this section, making it easier for users to locate and carry out these actions. The former 'Project/Release/Cycle' menu has been renamed 'Projects'. A new sub-menu titled 'Releases & Cycles' has been added under 'Project Management' to give users easier access to the Release and Cycle management screens.

Release v8.19 requires installation/upgrade of the QMetry -Jira Integration app to v2.3.1 for organizations using Jira 10 and v2.3.1_jira9 for organizations using Jira 9 or below. For customers utilizing Jira Cloud, the add-on will upgrade automatically.

Fixed a bug that caused unarchived test cases to be displayed in the archived list when deleting test cases in bulk.

Fixed a bug that exported a blank data file using the 'export raw data' option from custom reports using inbuilt folder selection filters.

Fixed a bug that prevented the display of integrated Jira projects under the Project Integration section when syncing a QMetry project with multiple Jira projects.

Fixed a bug that prevented User Defined Fields (UDF) from appearing on the test execution screen's detail view for some cases.
