TAR file export, simplified subscription management & TSE certificate details

In this sprint, we worked in making the aggregated TAR export available in the Portal, which - together with the DSFinV-K export - enables our customers to get all audit-relevant data without requiring direct access to the POS System. Additionally, we greatly improved the subscription management, and are now displaying the expiration dates of TSEs.

Usability improvements and bug fixes

In this sprint, the Engineering team was mostly focusing on improving our Middleware by adding new SCUs and fixing some reported issues. Still, several usability improvements and bug fixes were implemented that should resolve some common issues our users experienced.

In this version, we published an important fix for the TSE .tar file export, both in the Queue and the SCU packages. This resolves a critical issue where customers with pre-existing Queues were not able to properly execute daily-closing receipts anymore.

We highly recommend updating to this version on POS Systems that use version 1.3.8 to resolve this issue.

This release of the Middleware includes the stabilized version of the DSFinV-K export and automatically archives the TSE's .tar files on daily closing receipts.

Usability, shop & registration improvements

In this sprint, we focused on improving commonly used features in the Portal. This includes the registration process, the UID validation, and several smaller fixes to improve the overall user experience. Additionally, we enabled the auto-invitation flow and the CSV bulk operator import in production.

Version 1.3.7 contains an important fix for Entity Framework (EF) queues, which should resolve a recurring SQL concurrency exception that multiple customers experienced.

While this only occurred for a small percentage of receipts, it was nevertheless a critical issue for affected customers - hence we decided to release version 1.3.7 earlier than expected. The feature and stability updates we announced in the last release notes will be included in version 1.3.8.

This release adds the functionality to locally generate our preview version of the DSFinV-K export, and the new production-ready Diebold Nixdorf SCU. Additionally, we fixed several issues and added some smaller improvements, mostly related to special receipt responses.

Usability improvements

In this sprint, we focused on improving several features in portal. Additionally to a brand new editing experience for CashBox-Templates we also added a long requested feature to display the raw content of receipts to the receipts page. One thing that we also want to highlight is the Prod release of the FR Market.

Shop and production improvements

In this sprint, we focused on streamlining the German e-commerce experience. This includes full support for ordering, producing and shipping digital and hardware products, enabling missing features in the entitlement based sale processes, and various UX improvements in the Portal that should greatly simplify common e-commerce related tasks.

The Middleware 1.3.5 adds support for Android mobile devices, MySQL databases, and properly handles large amounts of parallel receipt requests.
