SpinFire Manage 8.6.3 Release Notes

Overview

SpinFire Manage 8.6.3 adds improvements and fixes some critical bugs that may affect some customers.

New Features

• Allow optional database migration from ArangoDB to an internal (application-managed) database.
  NB this only applies to SpinFire Publish (formerly known as CAD Publisher) and not SpinFire Manage (formerly known as Centro)

Other Improvements

• Centro Web App installer automatically applies necessary permissions to CentroPool

• Hide Catalog settings in Admin Application Settings tab

• Remove SpinFireLicenseFolderLocation config item (was unused)

• Remove Coordinate branding and consolidate navbar dropdown items

• Replace PDF template from Actify to SpinFire Publish

Bug Fixes

• Pipeline actions fail with authorization error

• ArangoDB deploy module 30.00 fails on fresh installs

• Parsing and handling of float values causes errors when locale uses comma as decimal separator

• Cannot restore Snapshot in SFW

• Pipeline services do not follow ProgramDataRoot setting

• PageName is null when recording session metric for Error page

• Failures from BucketController endpoints are not logged
  

• Windows Server 2012 is no longer officially supported for Centro Web/File Server Environment and we recommend customers to update to a more recent Windows Server version.  While the software may work with Windows Server 2012, we no longer include it in our testing process.

• We removed MSMQ from the prerequisite installations.  This communication configuration can still be used but is optional and not the default configuration.

• If running Centro on a Windows 10 or a Windows 2016 system, one must create a MIME Type for wasm, otherwise the SpinFire Web module fails to load models.

  Windows 11, Windows 2019 and Windows 2022 systems have this MIME type set by default.

SDK Users: Note that when building the CentroActionsIntegrationExample, adding a Core.Standard.dll reference to the project is now also required alongside the previous references.

Supported Environments

It's recommended to have n+1 core processors where n is the number of total concurrent jobs running.

^† The amount of available free space is dependent on the amount and size of files and revisions uploaded as resources to the Catalog.

Prerequisite Installations

• Microsoft .NET Framework 4.8
  Microsoft .NET Framework 4.8 offline installer for Windows

• Internet Information Services (IIS)

• SDK: Visual Studio Projects using the Centro SDK must now target .NET Framework 4.6.2 minimum and turn on automatic binding redirects.
