SmartHub Release W4.1.0 & App 3.20.4

On the heels of the last release, we have a smaller update to both the Smarthub Web Portal and the Smarthub App. There was some updates made to libraries the project uses that provided security and effeciency increases.  There were some updates done to the servers, certificates, and DNS records. Apologies for any downtime experienced with the Smarthub station displays during that update.

There still seems to be some users emailing in about account administration, please continue to reach out to us to get that fixed and for us to update you on the new changes and features.

Web Release 4.1.0

– Export News from the web editor. Not all the formatting, will export correctly unfortunately, but the information can be exported to .pdf and .docx. Hope this helps some.

– Permanently updated all widget scroll delay timings to 2 secs before scrolling starts.

App Release 3.20.4

– Previous Incidents no longer crashes the application or stutters when attempting to view or date search for incidents.

– Improved some notification settings when clicking on them that weren’t navigating to the application properly.

– Fixed a permission issue with apparatus not allowing different access level permissions.

Bug Fixes

– Remove Temp Files from 4.0.0 release

– Updated libraries on the servers, patching security and enhancements

– Corrected Input Field Hints from ‘Username’ to ‘Email’ on the Smarthub Login Screen

– Checking administration for apparatus permissions does not update the user permissions correctly

– Corrected an issue where certain widgets weren’t scrolling and was showing the scrolling bar visually on the displays

– Removed scroll speed reference from live weather map settings and labeled it correctly as ‘Zoom Level’

– Exterminated a bug with Long Station Names in header/dashboard that threw the width all off and made visual formatting errors

– Removed the need to check for login id in new-user.html. This was causing an error on users without a login id and only an email.
