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.

DSFinV-K preview & Android Launcher download

In this sprint, we focused on releasing a first preview version of the DSFinV-K export to the sandbox. Although this preview version is not production-ready, it already creates most of the required content and only misses some final polishing that we will perform in the upcoming weeks. In addition to this, we also added the possibility to download the new Android Launcher for our Middleware, and introduced some small, but very helpful Quality of Life-updates.

The Middleware 1.3.4 properly handles the DSFinV-K relevant master data and appends it to daily closing receipts, so that it can be easily used when querying an export.

DSFinV-K master data handling & outlet bulk imports

Aside from further polishing the fiskaltrust.Portal's outlet feature, most development effort of this sprint was put into properly injecting DSFinV-K-relevant master data (e.g. account information, outlet data, etc.) into the middleware configuration so it can be processes by the Middleware 1.3.4. This enables us to finish the DSFinV-K export prototype in the next sprints.

Outlet Management for Middleware components, New Export experience for AT

In sprint 78, development was mostly focused on preparing for the additional challenges that come along with operating Middleware components in the German market. Since most components in Germany are configured for just one outlet, we extended the portal's outlet management capabilities to fulfil this requirement.
