Release 20.4
Release Notes - Version 20.4
New Features:
Multiparty Classification and COI labelling
The Classification and Community of Interest functionality that has been introduced into IM conversations throughout the previous few releases has now been added into the Multiparty workflow, too.Multiparty creation will provide an interface to configure the maximum classifications attributes and/or a fixed community, determining which users are available for invite and to which level of clearance the multiparty is set up for.
Ethical Wall policies will, if enabled, enforce which users can and cannot be invited. A user will only be shown other users with which they can communicate. If two of those users cannot interact then MindLink ensures they cannot be invited. Edge-cases with invites to users on Skype, who are blocked by the Ethical Wall policy for one or more MLA users, result is a failsafe action by MindLink to remove the incompatible MLA user(s)
Classification Improvements
Further improvements have been made to the classification system. Error handling has been improved in both the client and admin experience. We have also refined the configuration system.
MindLink Anywhere UX Improvements The User Profile interface has been enhanced, incorporating Presence, User's own contact card, Preference settings, Help and Manage Groups icons if enabled and log out. Building on the former menu's presence, contact card and log out button, the other icons from the header have been nested within along with the settings.
The settings interface has been upgraded from a single preference list to a tabbed window of categorised preferences. General settings, Dock preferences, Conversation preferences and Notification settings.
Additionally, a general UX refresh over the MLA app has introduced a range of subtle changes to improve consistency and quality, including whitespace and alignment.
