PathcoreFlow Release Notes

v3.4.1 (2024-06-25)

Version 3.4.1 includes several bug fixes and other improvements that enhance usability of the software and address customer feedback.

New Features

Batch Metadata Editing (API) Endpoint

It's now possible to edit metadata on multiple files, folders, and images with a single API call.

The effect of these endpoint are visible in other sections of the Repository:

  • The Activities panel now provides visibility into changes made using the new API endpoints.
  • An update to the "Export Activities" report to include these changes.

Improvements

API Improvements

  • Added an optional verify stage to the multi-file upload API which compares server and client file fingerprints to ensure reliable data transmission.

Notes

Settings

  • Renamed the "SAML Single Sign On" tab in Settings to SAML SSO.

Fixed in this Release

In this release, we have implemented the following bug fixes and UI improvements to address customer suggestions and feedback.

Viewer Fixes

  • Fluorescence images with Lookup Transforms no longer display incorrectly if a Gamma change is applied.

Repository Fixes

  • Fixed a user interface error caused by a custom field with an unknown application name set.
  • Fixed an issue where the "Open in VIS" option appeared in context menus for DICOM link images which do not support it.
  • Fixed an issue where the "Open in VIS" option appeared in context menus even when Visiopharm integration was disabled.
  • Navigating to a page in the Unsorted Uploads folder for the first time no longer redirects the user back to the first page.
  • Fixed a bug which could allow a user without the "View Protected Health Information" permission to download a single-file image.

Settings Fixes

  • Fixed a problem where users disabled before upgrading to v3.4.0 could no longer be enabled afterwards.
  • Fixed a bug that could incorrectly display SAML SSO settings for a team that does not have the appropriate add-on.
  • Fixed a bug that could cause a user's password to erroneously be reset when they filled out the "Change Password" dialog but clicked on the "Cancel" button.
  • Fixed a bug with SAML SSO authentication that could lead to an error when using various passwordless authentication methods.

Image Format Fixes

  • Fixed an issue with TIFF images that do not specify rows per strip.
  • Fixed an issue with OME-TIFF images that do not specify plane count.
  • Fixed a bug which could lead to a service disruption when processing corrupt JPEG2000 compressed SVS images.
  • Removed the subfile type checking for OME-TIFF images, as it is inconsistently set by scanners.

API Fixes

  • The custom field and custom field set API endpoints now return an HTTP 409 response when attempting to create a new entry with an existing name, instead of an HTTP 500 internal server error.
  • Fixed an issue where files uploaded via the multi-file API would always report a file size of 0 bytes.
  • Fixed an issue where cached metadata could still be returned by requests that explicitly disable it.

Image Indexing Service Fixes

  • Fixed an issue where cached file generation could repeat indefinitely on damaged files.

LDAP Fixes

  • Fixed a bug that could prevent a new user from logging in after LDAP sync.
