Hello,
persons are confused about the “big” version jumps sw360 makes. But that is the policy: if there is a migration script for the DB -> new major version. At this time there are changes required to clearing requests data
structures, so please consider the migration script if you have created these.
A new version and what is new? As per features:
* New REST endpoint for getting all details from a list records in one call -> no need to do hundreds of individual requests at listings anymore
* New REST endpoint for deleting attachments (yes, really)
* New feature for data curation: take a release record and assign it to a different component if the release has been created at a wrong place (example: log4j and log4j api…)
* Improvements to clearing requests handling with better communications support
* Added REST endpoint fields to project according to feedback of REST users
* Now you can also use the database id when searching for a release when linking to a project
In addition two important corrections which might motivate you to update:
* For some fields, escape characters (such as quotes) in data have destroyed the rendering of the page. We were not able to bring it that far to execute entire _javascript_, if you thought about this onw. But a broken page
is still a broken page. That should be a thing of the past now.
* A user was able to obtain project write access rights by creating a moderation request for a project with his own users as moderator – before the moderation request was approved. Note that this was only possible for
projects visible to the user and changes are transparent in the change log. However, it recommended to update to avoid confusion.
Have fun with the update: https://github.com/eclipse/sw360/releases/tag/sw360-10.0.0-M1
