2. Enhancements
| Enhancement | Details |
|---|---|
| Added a required parameter to the AQ_File_Upload container. | We have added required validation support to the AQ_File_Upload container in the form of an expression parameter. If the parameter evaluates to TRUE the container will validate if a file has been successfully uploaded to that container, when no files have successfully been uploaded the container will display a validation error. |
| The FileExtension and MaxFileSize parameters of AQ_File_Upload have been changed to expression fields. | To support more dynamic configurations, the FileExtension and MaxFileSize parameters have been migrated to expressions. The Updated AQ_File_Upload container type can be found in BlueriqBasicModelling Library 1.0.1. |
| Security improvement: Sensible default for the blueriq.fileupload.maxuploadsize property, and enforce it at the AQ_File_Upload container. | We have set a sensible default for the blueriq.fileupload.maxuploadsize property, this used to be '-1', which was unlimited. The new default setting is 10MB. This value is now also enforces by the AQ_File_Upload container. When the container is configured to have a higher value than the maxuploadsize, it will be converted back to maxuploadsize. |
| Security improvement: the Mode parameter of the AQ_File_Upload container has been changed into a MaxFileAmount expression to enforce a maximum amount of files that can be uploaded. | We have changed the Mode parameter of the AQ_File_Upload container into a MaxFileAmount expression parameter. This is done to mitigate a possible DOS attack by uploading infinite number of files when Mode parameter was set to 'Multiple files'. This parameter changes will be automatically migrated, 'Single file' will change into the value '1' and 'Multiple files' will change into '-1'. It is adviced to change the '-1' expressions to a more sensible values to avoid being prone to a DOS attack. |
| The expression editor has been updated to support bracket matching. | The expression editor in Encore will now highlight the nearest brackets when the cursor is located within brackets. |
| The reliability of ctrl+click behavior within the expression editor has been improved. | There could be situations where the expression editor would not enable you to ctrl/shift+click to the definition of a symbol in an expression. These situations should now correctly show underlines and enable you to click to the referenced element. |
| New mechanism for registering AuthenticationProviders. | The security configuration now allows to register |
3. Updated maven module structure
In this release, the blueriq-runtime maven module has been split up into several smaller modules. These modules aim to isolate functionality, which allows us to make more Blueriq components optional in the future, resulting in a runtime that can be customized by customers to only contain the functionality they need.
For now, all newly introduced modules are included in the blueriq-runtime module, so customers normally do not have to update their custom builds. However, as some of these modules are only included on runtime scope, customers that have custom code that depends on the blueriq-runtime module might have to depend on some of the new modules.

5. Upgrade Instructions
See Release 16.1 Upgrade Instructions for the upgrade instructions for this release.
As a best practice
- backup your repository
- backup your database before running scripts
- backup your
spring.config.additional-locationdirectory ([Blueriq installation directory]\Runtime) - backup any config files you have altered under [Blueriq installation directory]\Services
before you start the upgrade.

10. Bug fixes
Identifier | Component | Issue | Solution |
|---|---|---|---|
BQ-20419 | CVE-2023-34462 was detected on the Gateway Service, for the Netty Library | Upgraded the Spring boot dependency, which ships a newer version of Netty | |
BQ-20392 | Encore | Encore incorrectly showed a pencil icon to change the entity of an attribute, relation or static instance even if the element is in an external library | When viewing an element in an external library or from a virtual view, the pencil icons in the entity input are no longer shown |
CSD-4766 | Encore | Rest service validation in Encore was missing some validations, while the validation in the Studio Server was not implemented correctly | Validation in the Studio Server was fixed for 16.1 (not for 15.13.2 due to the introduction of new validations), and the validation in Encore fixed in 16.1 and 15.13.2 |
CSD-4768 | Encore | Encore could continue to indicate that a save operation is in progress | We believe to have addressed the issue by always synchronizing change notifications from the server |
BQ-20259 | Encore | The columns in the Resource where shown in the right order, but internally they where not sorted in the same way as they were shown. This caused a runtime error when parsing the exported project. | Fixed the internal order of the columns such that they correspond with the order they are shown to make them usable by the runtime after an export. |
CSD-4743 | Encore | Required parameters on inline fields did not trigger validation errors when absent | The necessary validations have been added |
BQ-20200 | CVE-2023-2976 was detected on the guava library | Updated guava to 32.0.1-jre | |
CSD-4627 | JAVA Runtime | When using OpenID Connect discovery, it was not possible to configure an URI for the OpenID Connect Provider to redirect to after signing out. | Introduced the blueriq.security.openid-connect.post-logout-redirect-uri property to make the post logout redirect URI configurable. |
BQ-20157 | JAVA Runtime | During file upload and document generation process, there is missing value for property CASE_ID in generated Metadata file | The CASE_ID property has been added to the metadata for DCM 2. For DCM 1 the PROCESS_ID property has been added to the metadata. |
