Workspace admin panel for the XTRF Chat

Admin user has entered the chat! A new user role has been created along with the dedicated Workspace admin panel. In this panel, admin users will be able to:

• manage existing users

• check the status of the available apps

• enable and disable the test mode.

To learn more about this functionality, see the Admin workspace panel article.

Support of the OAuth 2.0 protocol for e-mails and Smart Connectors

We want to keep up with secure connection standards and ensure your messages go as smoothly as always. Therefore, XTRF has started supporting the OAuth 2.0 protocol for both e-mail services and Smart Connectors. To learn more about OAuth 2.0 configuration, see the OAuth 2.0 authorization for e-mails and Smart Connectors article.

The Notifier app for XTRF Chat is disabled by default

This change doesn’t affect existing clients. New clients should contact our Help Desk to enable the Notifier app.

More robust subscription API

Enjoy better API performance due to the changes we've made to the subscription management.

Previously, the API subscriptions were automatically removed every time they did not work (i.e. when 404 status was returned). We optimized this mechanism so that the subscriptions in such scenarios are now removed only after reaching a threshold of 101 errors. As a result, custom solutions do not need to re-subscribe that often anymore, which will reduce the number of calls to the subscription API and improve the overall performance.

On May 31st, 2023, Intuit stopped supporting QuickBooks Desktop 2020 version. XTRF will continue supporting QB Desktop 2022 version; however, we strongly suggest you switch to QuickBooks Online.

From XTRF 10.0 onwards:

• XTRF stops supporting integration with Trados Studio 2019, as the RWS Group no longer supports this version. Please upgrade to the later versions to continue using the Trados Studio CAT tool.

• SMS notifications will be disabled. All XTRF-related communication will be conducted through e-mails and XTRF Chat.

• Support of PostgreSQL versions below 13 will be deprecated. As XTRF already supports Postgresql 13 since the 9.0 v., you are advised to upgrade the database before upgrading XTRF.

• Existing Apache Velocity macros will be disabled. You are strongly advised to rewrite them in Groovy. To learn how to switch from Velocity to Groovy, see this article.

• Text box content will be limited to 20 000 characters. This limit will help increase system performance and prevent extensive memory consumption and potential stability issues.
  About 0.3 percent of all content in XTRF exceeds the limit and will be truncated. To avoid losing valuable information, please keep your notes, comments, descriptions, and instructions within a reasonable length and avoid embedding images, as they’re the most common cause of oversize.
  The text box length limit will affect every text field in the system.
