SCR-1571

Summary: Exposed parameter 'trackAttendeeUsage' for 'chronos?action=new' and 'chronos?action=update'

The new and update actions in module chronos will now evaluate the optional parameter trackAttendeeUsage.

It can be used to configure whether newly added attendees from creations and updates should be tracked automatically, which includes adding new entries in the collected contacts folder for new external calendar users (utilizing the contact collector service), as well as incrementing the use counts for already known internal and external entities (using the object use count service). Defaults to true, hence needs to be disabled explicitly.

See the HTTP API documentation for further details.

SCR-1567

Summary: Option "notification" when Granting Deputy Permissions

The new action in module deputy of the HTTP API is extended with an optional notification object where the transport and optional message can be specified by the client, in the same way as when a folder is shared, e.g.:

{
    [...]
	"notification": {
		"transport": "mail",
		"message": "the message"
	}
}

If set, a notification mail is generated and sent to the deputy user.

See the documentation for details.

Summary: New parameter "sortByUseCount" for "search" action in module "resource"

The action search in module resource of the HTTP API is extended with an additional, optional parameter named {}sortByUseCount. If {}true, found resources are implicitly sorted based on the individual use count number of the requesting user, in descending order (most frequently resources first), e.g. when being used during auto-complete operations of resource participants while creating new appointments.

Behavioral Changes

SCR-1565

Summary: Redis connector now uses a pool of shared connections

The Open-Xchange Redis Connector now supports two operation modes for the pool of connections to Redis end-point(s).

  • com.openexchange.redis.connection.pool.mode Allows the values shared and dedicated. dedicated lets Redis Connector use a common connection pool for the "connection per thread" operation mode. An individual connection is only used by one thread at the same time. shared lets Redis Connector use a connection pool that manages shared connections. Thus, a single connection is concurrently used by multiple threads at the same time. This fully leverages the NIO and asynchronous capabilities of the underlying Lettuce client library, saves I/O overhead and gives better performance. Therefore, the default value for this property is shared. Not reloadable and not config-cascade aware.

  • com.openexchange.redis.connection.pool.numSharedConnections Specifies the max. number of shared connections that are managed in the connection pool running with shared mode. The default value for this property is 8. Not reloadable and not config-cascade aware.

Configuration

SCR-1564

Summary: New Configuration Property 'com.openexchange.calendar.externalConflictChecksTimeout'

The new lean configuration property com.openexchange.calendar.externalConflictChecksTimeout is introduced.

It configures the maximum time (in milliseconds) to wait for conflict check results from external sources like iCalendar subscriptions. A value of 0 disables external conflict checks during appointment creation or update completely.

It is reloadable and config-cascade aware, and default to 10000 (10 seconds).

See the documentation for further details.
