4.12.0 Highlights

Navigation Updates

Navigation has been updated to more closely align with Material Design standards.

In Desktop, the Navigation bar and menu option have moved to the left side of the screen. In Mobile, the Navigation bar has moved to the bottom of the screen and the menu option has moved to the left.

Here is a screenshot showing a preview of the new nav.

Like we’ve done for several previous stages of the UI evolution, it is possible to temporarily “opt out” of the new UI via a permission. The Navigation changes can be disabled by giving users the can_view_old_navigation permission.

Users with the can_view_old_navigation permission will see the previous version of the UI as illustrated below

Removal of opt out for Filter, Search, and Old Action Bar

To make way for the updated Navigation, it was necessary to remove the previous opt out capabilities.

These two permissions have been removed and are no longer supported by CHT:

  • can_view_old_filter_and_search
  • can_view_old_action_bar

Added storage metrics to monitoring api

To help better track and understand data usage in the CHT, additional metrics were added to the monitoring api. The api now reports additional size values for each of the tracked databases and their view indexes.

And more…

We’ve also implemented loads of other improvements and fixed a heap of bugs.
