====== Version 2020.2.371 (2.76.0) ======
Released September 21, 2020


====== ⚠️ Breaking changes! ======

With this release of Lime CRM the add-ons **Infotiles**, **Newsletter**, **GDPR** and **Lime Event** are no longer included in the base installer. To (keep) use(ing) these add-ons they should be added to your [[https://platform.docs.lime-crm.com/en/latest/getting-started/concepts/#solution|solution]] as requirements.

====== ✨ Highlighted Features ======

==== 📁 File based document storage ====

Lime CRM can be configured to [[https://platform.docs.lime-crm.com/en/latest/configuration/file-storage/|store documents]] on disk instead of in the database. Shout out to Tommy Hallman Lindh for implementing this feature!

==== 🔐 Login in using AzureAD for the Web Client ====

Support for AzureAD while logging into the Web Client. This will enable customers to use security and convenience features such as single sign-on, multi-factor authentication, and enforced password policies. 


==== ✏️ A brand new Lime Admin ====

A brand new version of Lime Admin, providing a visual UI for [[https://docs.lime-crm.com/configuration/views#views|configuring]] the web client and add-ons. When creating add-ons to Lime CRM, you can automagically get a custom UI for the add-on to simplify configuration. 


==== 💄 Improved UI in the Web Client ====

Many minor UI improvements in the Web Client; to provide a simpler and easier to use interface:

  * Related view is now wider and pops out to make it easier to know where you are in the web client.

  * The table view is now adjusting to screen size in a much better way, making it easier to grasp the information shown. The rows are also tighter to get a better overview of the data shown in the table.

  * The activity feed has been redesigned to include soft borders, more highlighted headings and improved relation pickers.


==== 🛠️ Application Configuration ====

When configuring Lime CRM we have so far had to pick between either ''%%lime-config%%'' or ''%%lime-data%%'' based config. ''%%lime-config%%'' is file based and server instance unique; perfect for server configuration such as ports, timeouts etc. ''%%lime-data%%'' powers Lime Admin and is stored in the database. Albeit convenient it comes with some trade offs; secrets such as API-keys or passwords are best kept out of the database and URLs for integrations can become problematic when for example restoring a production database to a test environment.

With Lime 2020.2 we are expanding ''%%lime-config%%'' to include application level configuration. One can now configure unique configurations for each app running on a Lime Server. This is perfect for API-keys, Passwords or URLs. Full documentation can be found [[https://platform.docs.lime-crm.com/en/latest/configuration/#application-configuration|here]].


====   👩‍🔬 EXPERIMENTAL: A completely re-designed object card ==== 

A completely new layout of the object card in the Web Client behind a feature switch. The new design includes the following:

  * Related information is now presented in tabs
  * The tabs have counters indicating the number of items in them
  * You now have the possibility to create custom tabs to meet specific customer needs (on-premise only until we have isolated apps)
  * There are now three different slots where customized widget/actions can be reached (on-premise only until we have isolated apps)
  * The visual design is more minimalistic and cleaner and
  * The overall usability is improved


==== 👨‍🔬 EXPERIMENTAL: Speed improvements for the Desktop Client on-premise ====

A Redis caching backend can now be configured and The Lime CRM data structure is cached. We have seen speed improvements between 3x-10x for common read operations in the Desktop Client. Read more [[https://docs.lime-crm.com/configuration/caching|here]]
