Introduction

This release focuses on strengthening Alliance management capabilities, introducing a mechanism for transferring Alliance Owner permissions, and significantly optimizing the account management experience in Stellar Admin (such as the forgot password functionality). Additionally, we have upgraded the interface and performance of the Homepage and Search experience, and fixed multiple known issues regarding data synchronization, permission controls, and file imports, dedicated to providing a smoother and more secure data collaboration environment.

New Features

• Stellar Admin Forgot Password Functionality

  The Stellar Admin login page now supports a "Forgot Password" feature. Users can receive a reset link via email and set a new password after security verification, resolving login access issues.

• Alliance Owner Permission Transfer

  Alliance management features have been upgraded. Alliance Owners can now actively send invitations to transfer ownership permissions to other members within the Alliance. It also supports resending invitations or revoking issued transfer invitations, providing greater flexibility in Alliance management handover.

• Stellar Admin Management Interface Optimization

  Added support for management APIs in Stellar Admin, including querying the administrator list and enabling/disabling Admin APIs, enhancing the convenience of system management.

Improvements & Enhancements

• Homepage and Search Experience Upgrades
  • Brand New Homepage List Design: Optimized the layout, card design, and Search Bar of the Data Planet homepage to provide a more intuitive visual experience.
  • Enhanced Search Result Recognition: Added exclusive Icon indicators for datasets sourced from SDMX and CKAN in cross-planet search results, helping users quickly identify data sources.
  • Support for Planet URL Search: When pasting a Planet URL into the cross-dataset search field, the system now intelligently hides pagination and directly returns the dataset list for that Planet.
• SDMX Dataset Display Optimization
  • Code Name Display: In the "Data Profile" and "Data Exploration" pages, preview content for SDMX datasets will prioritize displaying the readable Code Name instead of the original Code ID.
  • Description Length Limit Removal: Removed the character limit for Descriptions when importing SDMX datasets, avoiding import failures due to excessively long text.
• User Experience Detail Adjustments
  • Password Strength Prompt: Added real-time length and strength validation checks when modifying passwords in the Portal, avoiding error messages appearing only after submission.
  • Alliance Invitation Hint: When an invited party has not configured SMTP (email service), the system will clearly notify the requester, helping both parties clarify why the invitation email was not received.
  • Data Management Error Prompts: When creating Custom Variables or Administrative Synthetic Variables, if the name duplicates an existing field, a clear error reason will now be displayed.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed Alliance Dataset Permission and Synchronization Issues
  • Resolved an issue where other members could not see the dataset in the list after an Alliance member shared a "Member" permission dataset.
  • Fixed a permission vulnerability where Local Members could see Private datasets within the Alliance under specific circumstances, ensuring data privacy and security.
  • Resolved display issues where selected Alliance datasets were not correctly highlighted when editing an Alliance.
• Fixed File Import and Format Issues
  • Resolved an issue where CSV files with BOM (Byte Order Mark, \\ufeff) format could not be uploaded.
  • Fixed an issue where the CSV Checker displayed incorrect colors when the file upload was in a Pending state.
  • Resolved potential failures when converting field types to Date or Datetime.
  • Corrected an issue where the system allowed repeated Alliance creation if uploading a non-image format (e.g., GIF) caused an error during Alliance creation.
