Pre-Alpha Version 1.14.0.12 Released May 31, 2022


Note: This build includes the following breaking Changes

The Render() method of the following Rock.Badge.BadgeComponent classes has been updated to include IEntity and use TextWriter instead of HtmlTextWriter. This was done to prevent a possible race condition with the Entity and for .net core compatiblity. The old method still exists in the parent class but is blank so it doesn't do anything. Custom code using Rock's BadgeComponent classes will need to use the new method.

Pre-Alpha Version 1.14.0.10 Released April 26, 2022


Note: This build includes the following breaking Changes

Rock.Model.EntityTypeService.Get(string name, bool createIfNotFound) has been renamed to Rock.Model.EntityTypeService.GetByName(string name, bool createIfNotFound)

CMS

  • Updated the Content Channel Navigation block.

Communication

  • Added a new Preview button on the System Communications List in order to view the template using the new System Communication Preview block.

Group

  • Fixed RSVP Response block to display decline options for RSVP. Fixes: #4937

Reporting

  • Fixed the Group/Location DataSelect field to prevent an error when attempting to use it as a sort field. Fixes: #3941
  • Fixed the PageParameterFilter block to respect the 'Show Reset Filters Button' setting. In doing this there was some refactoring of the block settings. The 'Hide Filter Actions' block setting was removed and replaced with 'Show Filter Button'. The previous settings were confusing and did not match Rock's typical logic pattern. This could mean that if one had the 'Hide Filter Actions' set to true that the filter buttons would now show. This would be a bit of an edge case (but possible), but in the effort to improve the logic of the settings the change was made. Also, fixed an issue where the filter settings default values were not being shown. Finally, adjusted the initial load logic to keep child blocks from loading twice on initial loads. Since these child blocks are often querying and loading a lot of data it's important that they are only loaded once.

Workflow

  • Updated the "Write to Interactions" workflow action to allow for setting the datetime of the interaction and for capturing the Id of the created Interaction record.

Pre-Alpha Version 1.14.0.9 Released April 12, 2022


Note: This build includes the following breaking Changes

The namespace Rock.ViewModel has been renamed to Rock.ViewModels. Any code referencing this namespace will need to be recompiled.

The signature for method Rock.Lava.RockFilters.AppendFollowing changed by adding a parameter with a default value. Code that uses this method will need to be recompiled.

  • From: public static object AppendFollowing(Context context, object dataObject)
  • To: public static object AppendFollowing(Context context, object dataObject, string purposeKey)

The signature for method Rock.Lava.RockFilters.Format changed by renaming an existing parameter and adding an additional one. Code that uses this method will need to be recompiled.

  • From: public static bool IsFollowed(Context context, object input, object personObject)
  • To: public static bool IsFollowed(Context context, object input, object parameter1, object parameter2)

The constructor for Rock.Model.CampusTopicService now uses the type RockContext instead of DbContext. This matches the implementation of other Rock classes.

The enum Rock.Model.Gender has moved from the Rock project to the Rock.Enums project, the namespace remains the same. Code using this enum will need to reference the new dll and be recompiled.

The method public method Rock.Model.SignatureDocument.CalculateSignatureVerificationHash has been removed from the SignatureDocument model. It is now a static method in SignatureDocumentService.

  • From: public string CalculateSignatureVerificationHash()
  • To: public static string CalculateSignatureVerificationHash( SignatureDocument document )

The constant Rock.SystemGuid.ConnectionActivityType.FUTURE_FOLLOWUP_COMPLETE has been renamed to Rock.SystemGuid.ConnectionActivityType.FOLLOWUP_DATE_REACHED to better reflect its meaning. Code that references this field will need to be recompiled.

CMS

  • Migrated all existing Content Channel View Detail blocks to Content Channel Item View blocks (they were basically identical). Fixes: #4223

  • Fixed typo in the EmailLogo attribute description. Fixes: #4344
  • Fixed the spelling of 'whose' on the Members and Attendees Data View. Fixes: #4965
  • Fixed overlapping blocks when using the 'wizard' style. Fixes: #4949
  • Added option to System Configuration so that Rock's "Keep Alive" process only runs if enabled. It is now disabled by default. Enable this setting to have Rock poll itself to keep it alive during times of inactivity. This setting is not needed if your AppPool's Idle Time-out is set to 0 (Highly Recommended). See the Rock Solid Internal Hosting guide for recommended AppPool settings.
  • Removed Background Check Result Duplicate Auth. Prior to this fix, the same role would be listed multiple times in the permissions for the Background Check Result attribute. Fixes: #1914

Pre-Alpha Version 1.13.0.11 Released April 13, 2021


Note: This build includes the following breaking Changes

There was a small change in Rock.CheckIn.RosterAttendee between Rock 12.3 and 12.4. The following method signatures have been updated to use the RosterAttendeeAttendance object instead of the Attendance object.

  • bool AttendanceMeetsRosterStatusFilter(RosterAttendeeAttendance attendance, RosterStatusFilter rosterStatusFilter)
  • IList GetFromAttendanceList(IList attendanceList, GroupTypeCache selectedCheckinArea)
  • IList GetFromAttendanceList(IList attendanceList)

CMS

  • Improved KPI shortcode styling to improve appearance and browser compatibility.

Check-in

  • Performance Improvements for Checkin Manager.

Core

  • Fixed an issue that caused picker controls with categorized items (like Workflows and Data Views) not to fully expand and display items that were previously selected and saved. Fixes: #4504
  • Updated default avatar in connection request to show gendered version if known. Fixes: #4599

CRM

  • Fixed issue with person matching where the email address comparison was case sensitive. Fixes: #4640

Event

When this is set to "Yes" then whoever created the item will automatically have the security permission to edit and administrate the item added. The default value for this setting is "No". The behavior of Rock prior to v12.4 was to automatically grant the item creator "Edit" and "Administrate" permissions. As of v12.4 this will not happen unless the new block setting is set to "Yes". This release does NOT change the security permissions for any existing data views and reports.

Workflow

  • Adjusted the constraint on the "Person Attribute From Fields" workflow action to only require a first name and last name.

No breaking changes in this release.

CMS

  • Improved security.
  • File Browsers Updates - A permission change has been made on the Rock File Browser to improve security. Many may not realize it, but the file browser modal runs as an iframe that hosts a Rock page. Security on this underlying page has been updated. Individuals who do not have access will no longer see the file browser in their HTML editor. This editor is used in the HTML control and Communication Entry block (among others places).

While we don't recommend that people use the pages of the sample External Site (they're a template) we know that many people have used them on their production sites. We adjusted the security of this page to require an individual be an Administrator or Staff member to access the page. You may want to adjust this setting if you are using this page for a production group toolbox.

Group

  • The GroupDetail block has new setting called "Add Administrate Security to Group Creator". When this is set to "Yes" then whoever created the group will automatically have the security permission to administrate the group added. The default value for this setting is "No". The behavior of Rock prior to v12.1 was to automatically grant the Group creator "Administrate" permission.
