Release notes

 

Release date: April 22, 2025.

Release version: 3.0.9231.26355

New Features

Partner onboarding portal

An entirely redesigned workflow for onboarding partners has been implemented, making it significantly easier to set up new trading partners and flows. (2018)

Mail Template Maintenance Made Easy

We've introduced a brand-new UI that lets you manage all email templates used in Link — simple, centralized, and efficient.

Xpath picker for tracking fields

An Xpath picker has been added as a new feature to assist users in simplifying and improving the experience when selecting an Xpath during the creation of tracking fields. (1884)

Http Handler for AS2

AS2 can now be set up as an HttpHandler, enabling different endpoints with partner-specific configurations via the init-configuration. (1997)

Possibility to copy a Document Configuration

Users now have the ability to copy a document configuration, simplifying and speeding up the partner onboarding process. (1947)

Edifact - UNOA and UNOB syntax support

Automated character conversion logic has been added to support UNOA and UNOB syntax in EDIFACT messages. (2051)

TestTool. Go to Next/Previous on compare window. (1794)

Next and Previous buttons have been implemented in the TestTool’s compare view. These allow users to quickly navigate between test cases or file comparisons, improving the efficiency of validation and troubleshooting workflows.

OriginatingId - Tracking Api (Web) (1919)

The OriginatingId field is now supported in the REST-based Tracking API. This enables external systems to query tracking information using their own reference or identifier, making integration and troubleshooting across systems more seamless.

Possibility for better direct deep links from ERP system and user friendly viewer

Allows users to generate more specific 'deep links' from external systems into Link. For example, it's now possible to link directly to a specific stylesheet within the CDM viewer. (2016)

Developer menu tweaks

A set of small but useful enhancements that improve usability and performance in the developer menu. (1921)

Grid Filtering - File Naming Types (1923)

Link core upgraded to dotnet 9

The core in Link has been upgraded to .NET 9, enabling developers of artifacts to utilize the latest framework. (1933)

Stabilization - Error handling in hosts

Enhanced system robustness and improved error handling across core components. (1975)

Allow for a threshold on alerts for distributions

Users now have the ability to define an expected number of documents for a distribution when creating an alert, adding a layer of control and monitoring. (1981)

XSLT Functions: ConversionLookup has different behaviour

The lookup process in conversion tables has been optimized and standardized, ensuring consistent behavior across both .NET code and XSLT mappings. (2004)

Azure files - Polling Locations - can not delete LinkPoll file

Enhanced system reliability when working with Azure Fileshare, resolving concurrency issues that occurred when multiple clients accessed the same files. (2015)

Search-dropdown on send locations (1920)

A search feature has been added to the dropdown for send locations when creating or editing a distribution. This makes it easier to locate the correct location, especially in environments with many configured endpoints.

Documents in Outbox are not removed when set to Ignored or On Hold (1740)

Tooltips in the Tracking Field setup (1808)

Security enhancements

A number of updates addressing vulnerabilities and improving the overall security posture of the platform. (1942)
