1. New
1.1. Text item editor in Blueriq Encore
The text item editor is now available in Blueriq Encore. Similar to Blueriq Studio, text item editor in Blueriq Encore supports writing texts, adding presentation styles, conditions, and fields. This can now easily be done from the texts itself after selecting it. To keep the text readable, we're not using icons to indicate presentation styles, conditions and fields anymore but different kinds of appearance instead. And, contrary to Studio, it is now possible to copy and paste pieces of texts. We've made the text item editor as compact as possible so that we can use it as inline editor in other editors in the future (like we already do in the document and content item editor) as not each text item needs to be reusable.
1.2. Document and Content item editor
We've implemented the Document and Content item editor in Blueriq Encore. These editors consist of two parts: the structure as a tree at the left side and a preview section with integrated (inline) text item editors at the right side. We've made a two major improvements compared to Studio that will help you to keep focus:
- Compared to Blueriq Studio, editing structure vs text is now more separated: editing structure is solely done from the tree and editing text is done in the preview part. Similar to pages and containers in Blueriq Encore, it is now possible to use drag & drop to edit the tree structure, even to another parent node while retaining styles and conditions.
- The user interface of the preview part is now much more stable compared to Blueriq Studio, in which dimensions changed when switching between preview mode and edit mode of a node.
An example of a Document editor with the tree structure at the left and the preview part consisting of multiple integrated text item editors at the right:
1.3. Repository history
The repository history can now be viewed in Blueriq Encore. And again, compared to Blueriq Studio, we've made a few improvements:
- It is now possible to create a new branch directly from the history view by right clicking a commit point (or opening the context menu using the three dots at the right).
- Instead of pagination, we've implemented infinite scrolling, improving usability while keeping performance high.
- Readability of the graph had been improved compared to Studio.
2. Enhancements
Enhancement | Details |
---|---|
Enhanced support for unique containers |
When the Runtime expands containers, in some cases it wasn't able to distinguish that containers with the same name and container type are different from eachother, due to that they were expanded in the context of a repeated/active instance. This resulted in unexpected behaviour in some cases. This enhancement ensures that each container is able to retrieve an unique idempotent container id, which means that when the container is created in the same conditions it will always get the same container id. We have implemented this new container id in the following containers: AQ_Instance_List, AQ_File_Upload, AQ_File_Download The enhancement has not been implemented for duplicate containers on a page with the container types: AQ_Aggregate_List, AQ_Work_List, AQ_Case_List, due to low risk. |
List containers navigable when read-only |
For list containers (like |
Blueriq download broken up into 3 separate parts |
Because of a significant increase in size of the release zip (available via Customers), it has been broken up into three separate parts: Installer:
Runtime:
DCM Installation
|
Update to Spring Boot 2.7 | The Runtime, Customer Data Service, DCM Lists Service and DCM Maintenance App were updated to Spring Boot 2.7.1. |
Removed H2 fallback | The Runtime no longer automatically configures an embedded H2 database when a component could not find any other configuration. In order to still use H2 the user has to specifically configure it as an external data source and set the 'blueriq.datasource.h2.enabled' property to 'true'. |
DCM 2.0 default AMQP connection properties | For each DCM component you can declare the common AMQP properties: host, port, username, password, virtual host and SSL just once and all listeners and publishers will use the same properties and standard queue/exchange names. It is still possible to define the AMQP connection properties for each DCM component and when declared, they will override the default properties. |

Documentation on the new features and improvements of this release is linked in the respective topics.
4. Upgrade Instructions
See Release 15.3 Upgrade Instructions.
As a best practice
- backup your repository
- backup your database before running scripts
- backup your
spring.config.additional-location
directory ([Blueriq installation directory]\Runtime) - backup any config files you have altered under [Blueriq installation directory]\Services
before you start the upgrade.
5. Artifacts
The Blueriq artifacts are available under name: 15.3.0.5253
This release includes these versions of Blueriq components with a separate life cycle:
Component |

6. Aquima Libraries
There are no specific Library updates for this release.
7. Libraries
In this release, the set of third party libraries that is used by Blueriq was updated. When your installation of Blueriq includes custom components (artifacts that do not ship with Blueriq, such as proprietary plugins), those components should be tested for compatibility with these changes.
8. Retirement announcement

CSD-4276 |
JAVA Runtime |
When importing the AquimaLibraries (including all underlying libraries) the Business Engineer gets a validation error in Studio or Encore regarding conflicting presentation styles in two libraries |
The presentation style "password" is removed from the AquimaPresentationStyles as it is currently available from the BlueriqTheme library |
BQ-16778 |
JAVA Runtime |
CVE-2022-31129 was detected for momentjs 2.29.3 |
Upgraded momentjs to 2.29.4 |
BQ-16695 |
JAVA Runtime |
CVE-2022-33879 was detected in Apache Tika. |
Upgraded Apache Tika to version 2.4.1, which doesn't contain the vulnerability. |
CSD-4228 |
JAVA Runtime |
Conversion from numbers to integers could behave differently in Studio unit tests compared to the Runtime for negative numbers. |
The Studio now also uses the "convert half up" rounding mode to resolve this difference in behavior. |
