<big>'''Email Notification Package 1.4'''</big>
<big>'''Release Notes'''</big>


== Bug Fixed ==

=== SMTP Header Line Length Limit ===
A workaround was implemented preventing address lines with multiple recipients exceeding 1000 characters. It could break SMTP header in previous version.


=== Creating Perl interpreter failed ===
A fix for an intermittent issue was implemented. Thanks to Adam Skwersky.


=== A dot after variable name ===
In a parameterized text field, a dot placed immediately after variable name is no longer causing any issues.


=== Multiline SQL queries and DB2 ===
An issue was resolved that was causing issues with some releases of DB2 database. 


== Enhancements ==

=== ClearQuest 7.1.x installation ===
ClearQuest 7.1.x installation was improved


=== Parser ===

==== Expressions in function list of parameters ====
In list of parameters, there no need to use brackets around expressions. For example,
<source lang="perl">IF( $a > $b, "a", "b" )</source>


==== $EmailNotificationRuleName built-in variable ====
New built-in variable, $EmailNotificationRuleName, was introduced to carry evaluated rule name.


=== Rules Evaluation Order ===
You can change Notification Rules evaluation order. Sort key is a text field. All rules are sorted in ascending order by the Order field.


=== FROM Email address ===
A parameterized text field was added to Notification rule to customize From address.
# when Notification Rule From field is not empty, it is expanded and used as from address on generated email
# when From field is empty, and email_from database property exists, email_from content is evaluated to be used as from address
# otherwise, email address of the user executing action triggering email is used as from email address


=== Applying package to a stateless record ===
Package can be applied to a stateless record type using package wizard (using command line was required in previous release).
In order to apply to a record type that belongs to a package, package editing needs to be enabled.


=== Email self-subscription ===
Optional self-subscription functionality is available with optional EmailSubscription package.


=== Access controls ===
Unified access control was implemented.
