Description

20637

FEATURE: There is now the ability to save a screenshot of a website in the URL List Manager.

20979

UPDATE: The list_entry_list API would fail to list entries with a few thousand URLs. A new 'Maximum results per page' setting has been added to the 'General Limits' section of 'WebAdmin Settings' that allows you to set the maximum number of List Entries that can display for a List.

20980

FEATURE: There is a new list_entry_export API that exports entries from a List is csv format.

FEATURE: You can now apply the Auto Enable URL Check Rule option when importing List entries. A new option 'Modify Entries with Auto URL Check Rules' has been added to the List Import page.  If this is enabled, the Auto Replace URL Check Rules are applied if enabled in URL Check Rules. As an example, if the 'Remove www from the host name' Check Rule is set to 'Auto', the www will be stripped from the URLs during import.

FEATURE: APIs have been added to manage List Entry metadata:  list_entries_metadata_field_add, list_entries_metadata_field_list, list_entries_metadata_field_delete, list_entry_metadata_insert, list_entry_metadata_delete, and list_entry_metadata_get.

21245

BUG: The freshnsd service can fail to download lists when there is a large amount of telemetry data to send to the update service. This generally will only impact systems with many CPU cores and generally will always fail from install.

21246

FEATURE: There are three new List Settings APIs: list_settings_get, list_settings_insert, and list_settings_delete.

21247

FEATURE: List Settings for the List Service have been added to the List Settings tab. These settings can be used to enable the service, set the interval or next run time and set the fields displayed in the WebAdmin for the selected List.

UPDATE: The new list_entries_metadata fields have been added to the Edit and Review List window.  These are not editable in the WebAdmin. The image type metadata fields are displayed where the old 'Web Proxy' panel was displayed.

21257

FEATURE: When exporting a List, you can now choose which List columns are exported and the order in which they display in the output of the headings.  A new 'Adjust Columns to Export' field has been added to the 'Export URL/Keyword List' window.

21258

BUG: The list_entry_list API did not filter List Entries by Type correctly.

21260

UPDATE: The second window in the Import Wizards has been updated.  The columns now display as Row 1, Row 2, etc. to better reflect the outcome. The 'Skip the Header row at Import' setting is now labelled 'Ignore Row 1'.
