Released: 2021-05-30

Added 'richtext' display option for columns, showing richtext values with stripped HTML tags.
Added 'text length' and 'text wrap' options for columns, allowing fine control over how text values are displayed.

Added schema cache reload events to update concurrent admin logins, enabling parallel work sessions in the Builder.
Added filter reorder actions in Builder UIs, allowing moving of filter conditions.

Improvements

Redesigned application transfer mechanics
- Changes made to applications that were imported into an instance (from file or repo) are now ignored by default when executing an application export. The original, imported version is used instead.
- A new option 'changeable' was added to the admin UI for applications. This option allows the instance to apply changes to applications when doing exports in the Builder.
- Applications from other authors are now being protected from unplanned changes by default (see above). As this was the reason for the export option 'full export yes/no', it was removed. All application exports now always contain all dependencies.
- Removed the automatic version counter increase from the application export. If an application is changeable and the current version has changed, it requires a manual version counter increase before an export is permitted. This makes it more transparent and gives more control when multiple dependencies have changes.
- Replaced permanent export key storage in database with temporary memory storage.
Updated form states UI
- Form states are now ordered by description text, making states easier to read and allowing for control of execution order.
- Added filter for field references, showing only states connected to a specific field.
Column (batch) width now also controls table cell values in list views.
'Hide on mobile' option now also applies to columns in calendar & Gantt fields.

Fixes

Fixed 'open email/URL' action being visible in list views even if no value was set.
Fixed slider data field input not shrinking properly.
Fixed hidden field being shown in change log entries. Even with all fields being hidden, a change log entry is still visible to mark the occurrence of a change.
