New and Noteworthy in 3.13.0

Collaboration Links

Collaboration Links have been reworked, with changes ranging up from small UI adjustments to powerful configurable link appearance customizations.

UI adjustments include some icon changes, making more apparent when a remote application is not authenticated, or improving the handling of some errors or warnings.


Link Appearance customization has been introduced in this release. Administrators are now able to completely customize which attributes will appear on collaboration links, in the form of tag or icon decorators. Drop a resource to see a live preview and to start configuring its look with new attributes!

New OSLC Scheme features to improve performance with slow remote applications

Two new OSLC Scheme options are added to reduce network traffic and improve performance with slow remote applications: Link Auto-Refresh and Link Appearance.

Scheme Settings

When Link Auto-Refresh is off, a Refresh button is now displayed next to each OSLC link for manual refreshing, which contacts the remote artifact to obtain its up to date label and icon.

Autorefresh Off

And when it is on, OSLC links are refreshed only when they get visible on screen, as page is scrolled down.
