  experience. We also show success notifications after the operation.

  This doesn't have impact on the trash bin, confirmation dialog will still be displayed there.

  #5974
  #9527

• Enhancement - Personal shares can be shown and hidden: #9531

  On the shared-with-me page, there is no distinction between pending, accepted and rejected
  shares anymore. Instead, the user can toggle to display either shown or hidden shares.

  Furthermore, accepting and rejecting shares has been renamed to "enable sync"/"disable
  sync" to better reflect what's happening on the server and on other devices.

  #9531
  #9718

• Enhancement - Indicate processing state: #9561

  If a file has been just recently uploaded, it might go trough a processing state (e.G virus
  scan). If so, no actions on this resource is possible, therefore we show now the processing
  state and make the temporary restrictions clear to the user.

  #9626
  #9627

• Enhancement - Keyword Query Language (KQL) search syntax: #9653

  We've introduced
  KQL
  as our default query language. Previously we used our own simple language for queries which is
  now replaced by kql.

  sample.tx* Tags:important Tags:report Content:annual*

  Becomes

  name:"sample.tx*" AND tag:important AND tag:report AND content:"annual*"

  By default KQL uses AND as property restriction and the query described above can also be
  formulated as follows

  name:"sample.tx*" tag:important tag:report content:"annual*"

  More advanced syntax like grouping combined with boolean property restriction is supported
  too

  (name:"sample*" name:"*txt") tag:important OR tag:report content:"annual*"

  #9636
  #9646
  #9653

• Enhancement - Password generator for public links: #9691

  We've added a new button on the password input field for public links, clicking on that button
  will fill the input with a generated password.

  If a password policy is set, those rules will also be applied.

  #9666
  #9691

• Enhancement - Added app banner for mobile devices: #9696

  We've added an app banner at the top of the web view for mobile devices asking the user whether
  they want to continue working in the app. By dismissing it, it will not show again until a new
  session is started, e.g. by opening a new tab.

  #9696

• Enhancement - Unify sharing expiration date menu items: #9706

  We've unified the sharing expiration date menu item for links and regular user/group shares,
  the delete expiration date button shows up next to the edit expiration date and therefore
  declutter the UI.

  #9705
  #9706

• Enhancement - Show error if password is on a banned password list: #9727

  We now show a meaningful error if the user tries to set a public link password, that's on a server
  side banned password list.

  #9726
  #9727

• Enhancement - Handle postprocessing state via Server Sent Events: #9771

  We've added the functionality to listen for events from the server that update the
  postprocessing state, this allows the user to see if the postprocessing on a file is finished,
  without reloading the UI.

  #9769
  #9771

• Enhancement - Preview image presentation: #9806

  We've updated the preview app to have a more user friendly image browsing experience, image
  zooming, rotation and movement is smoother, images are no longer cropped.

  those apps with a one-click approach.

  #9807
  #9809
  #9843

• Enhancement - Registering nav items as extension: #9814

  Nav items can now be registered with the new extension type SidebarNavExtension, which
  consists of a AppNavigationItem and optionally scopes (a list of app IDs where the nav item
  should show).

  Also, 2 new optional properties have been added to the AppNavigationItem interface:

  handler - a click handler that get executes on click. It takes priority over a given route.
  priority - a number that determines the nav item's position.

  #9239
  #9814

• Enhancement - Add new portal into runtime to include footer: #9815

  We've added a new portal into the application layout of runtime package. This portals allows
  developers to add new content below the app container. The name of the portal is
  app.runtime.footer.

  #9815

• Enhancement - Add mode config option: #9818

  We've added a new config option called mode. This option can be set via config.json in the
  options object or query parameter. This config option asserts different modes of the UI.
  Currently, it will be used in the embed mode to hide certain parts of the UI.

  #9768
  #9818

  We've added a "last modified" filter chip in search to narrow down results based on last
  modified date.

  and "Share". They are emitting events with an optional payload. For more information, check
  the documentation.

  #9768
  #9841

• Enhancement - Show only create folder button in embed mode: #9853

  We've changed the actions in the AppBar in Files app to show only create folder button instead of
  create and upload actions. In embed mode, it is possible to only create a new folder so it does not
  make sense to hide this action inside of a dropdown.

  #9768
  #9853

• Enhancement - Search query term linking: #9854

  We've added the option to search for multiple terms with the same type, at the moment only the tag
  search benefits from it.

  This makes it possible to search for multiple resources with different tags in one query. The UI
  now empowers the user to perform advanced searches like:

  • all resources with the tags tag1 OR tag2 * all resources with the tags tag1 OR tag2 AND
    containing text content

  As a rule of thumb, if a property appears multiple times (like tag1 OR tag2) the search
  combines the query with an OR and different keys are linked with an AND.

  #9829
  #9854

• Enhancement - Add permission to delete link passwords when password is enforced: #9857

  We've added the ability to allow deleting passwords on public links, even if the password is
  enforced. Therefore, the user needs respective permission, granted by the server. This
  feature is only possible on public links that have the viewer role.

  We removed the settings icon from the searchbar.

  #9664
  #9858

• Enhancement - Location picker in embed mode: #9863

  We've added a new query param called embed-target which can have value location. This
  value is then saved in the configuration.options object as embedTarget. When the value is
  set to location, it allows selecting the currentFolder as location instead of selecting
  resources.

  #9768
  #9863

• Enhancement - Search tags filter chips style aligned: #9864

  We've aligned the style of tags filter in search with the tags panel redesign.

  #9834
  #9864

• Enhancement - Enable dark theme on importer: #9884

  We've enabled the dark theme on our importer, so the user will see a dark-themed dialog,
  whenever they activate the dark mode.
