grocy/changelog/60_UNRELEASED_2020-xx-xx.md

!!! The major version bump is due to breaking API changes, please see below if you use the API

New feature: Use any product related quantity unit anywhere

• Finally it's possible to use any product related quantity unit on any page
• Products still have one quantity unit stock and one (default) quantity unit purchase, but any QU, which has a direct or indirect conversion for that product, can be used to pick an amount
  • (Because the stock quantity unit is now the base for everything, it cannot be changed after the product was once added to stock (for now, maybe there will be a possibilty to change it in a future release))

New feature: Prefill purchase data by barcodes

• Imagine you buy for example eggs in different pack sizes and they have different barcodes
• Each product barcode can be assigned an amount, quantity unit and store (on the product edit page), which is then automatically prefilled on the purchase page
• (Thanks @kriddles for the initial work on this)

New feature: User permissions

• Users can now have permissions, can be configured per user on the "Manage users" page (lock icon)
• Default permissions for new users can be set via a new config.php setting DEFAULT_PERMISSIONS (defaults to ADMIN, so no changed behavior when not configured)
• All currently existing users will get all permissions (ADMIN) during the update/migration
• Creating API keys on the "Manage API keys"-page (top right corner settings menu) now requires the ADMIN permission
  • Other users only see their API keys on that page
• (Thanks @fipwmaqzufheoxq92ebc for the initial work on this)

New feature: External authentication support

• New config.php setting AUTH_CLASS to change the used authentication provider
• Via LDAP
  • New config.php settings LDAP_DOMAIN, LDAP_ADDRESS and LDAP_BASE_DN
  • If you set AUTH_CLASS to Grocy\Middleware\LdapAuthMiddleware, users will be authenticated against your directory (and will also be created (in grocy), if not already present)
• Via a reverse proxy
  • New config.php setting REVERSE_PROXY_AUTH_HEADER
  • If you set AUTH_CLASS to Grocy\Middleware\ReverseProxyAuthMiddleware and your reverse proxy sends a username in the HTTP header REMOTE_USER (header name can be changed by the setting REVERSE_PROXY_AUTH_HEADER), the user is automatically authenticated (and will also be created (in grocy), if not already present)
  • (Thanks @fipwmaqzufheoxq92ebc for the initial work on this)

Stock improvements/fixes

• Changes about best before dates: It's now possible to distinguish between best before dates and expiration dates:
  • New product option "Due date type" (defaults to "Best before date")
  • Wording changes:
    • All current places where "Best before date" was used now use "Due date"
    • Products with Due date type = Best before date (so all existing products) are "due" or "overdue" (they don't "expire" or are "expired")
    • Products with Due date type = Expiration date (new option) can "expire" or are "expired"
  • Color changes:
    • Products which are due soon or expire soon are (still) highlighted in yellow
    • Products which are overdue are highlighted in grey (there is also a new filter button on the stock overview page for them)
    • Products which are expired (new option) are highlighted in red
• When creating a quantity unit conversion it's now possible to automatically create the inverse conversion (thanks @kriddles)
• The product option "Allow partial units in stock" was removed, partial amounts are now possible by default for all products
• On purchase there is now a warning shown, when the due date of the purchased product is earlier than the next due date in stock (enabled by default, can be disabled by a new stock setting (top right corner settings menu))
• The amount to be used for the "quick consume/open buttons" on the stock overview page can now be configured per product (new product option "Quick consume amount", defaults to 1)
• Products can now be duplicated (new button on the products list page, all fields will be preset from the copied product, except the name)
• Optimized/clarified what the total/unit price is on the purchase page (thanks @kriddles)
• On the purchase page the amount field is now displayed above/before the due date for better TAB handling (thanks @kriddles)
• Changed that when FEATURE_FLAG_STOCK_BEST_BEFORE_DATE_TRACKING is disabled, products now get internally a due date of "never overdue" (aka 2999-12-31) instead of today (thanks @kriddles)
• Products can now be hidden instead of deleted to prevent problems / missing information on existing references (new checkbox on the product edit page) (thanks @kriddles)
• On the stock journal page, it's now visible if a consume-booking was spoiled
• It's now tracked who made a stock change (currently logged in user, visible on the stock journal page) (thanks @fipwmaqzufheoxq92ebc)
• Product edit page improvements ("Save & continue" button, deleting and adding a product picuture is now possible in one go) (thanks @Ma27)
• For products with tare weight handling enabled, it's now optionally possible to consume a fixed/exact amount (just like for "normal" products) in case you don't want to weigh the whole container this time (new checkbox on the consume page) (thanks @fipwmaqzufheoxq92ebc)
• The stock overview page now also shows the value - new column and also the total value in the header (thanks @kriddles)
• It's now possible to set a custom purchased date on purchase (new field on the purchase and inventory page, hidden by default - enable it by a new stock setting (top right corner settings menu)) (thanks @kriddles)
• The decimal places for all amount and price inputs can now be configured (stock settings / top right corner settings menu, default for amounts is 4, for prices 2)
• When clicking the product name on the shopping list, the product card will now be displayed (like on the stock overview page) (thanks @kriddles)
• On the product card there is now also a button to jump directly to the stock entries of the corresponding product (thanks @kriddles)
• The product picker workflows can now also be started by ENTER (additionally to TAB)
• Added a grouped/summarized stock journal (new button "Journal summary" at the top of the stock journal page) (thanks @fipwmaqzufheoxq92ebc)
  • Provides an overview of summarized transactions per product, transaction type and user + summarized amount
• Fixed that changing the products "Factor purchase to stock quantity unit" not longer messes up historical prices (which results for example in wrong recipe costs) (thanks @kriddles)
• Fixed that when adding products through a product picker workflow and when the created products contains special characters, the product was not preselected on the previous page (thanks @Forceu)
• Fixed that when editing a product the default store was not visible / always empty regardless if the product had one set (thanks @kriddles)

• Fixed that the "Due soon" sum (yellow filter button) on the stock overview page didn't include products which are due today (thanks @fipwmaqzufheoxq92ebc)
• Fixed that the shopping cart icon on the stock overview page was also shown if the product was on an already deleted shopping list (if enabled) (thanks @fipwmaqzufheoxq92ebc)
• Fixed that when editing a stock entry without a price, the price field was prefilled with 1
• Fixed that the location & product groups filter on the stock overview page used a contains search instead of an exact search

• Fixed that FEATURE_FLAG_STOCK_BEST_BEFORE_DATE_TRACKING is set to false, the purchase page validation failed (thanks @fipwmaqzufheoxq92ebc)
• Fixed that consuming (and editing the amount of) products with enabled tare weight handling did not work on the stock entries page
• Fixed that the recipes dropdown on the consume page also displayed internal recipes (thanks @kriddles)
• Fixed that opening tare weight handling enabled products is not possible via the UI and the API (as this makes no sense)

Shopping list improvements

• Decimal amounts are now allowed (for any product, rounded by two decimal places)
• Added a button to add all currently in-stock but overdue and expired products to the shopping list (thanks @m-byte)
• Improved that when FEATURE_FLAG_STOCK is disabled, all product/stock related inputs and buttons are now hidden on the shopping list page (thanks @fipwmaqzufheoxq92ebc)
• Fixed that "Add products that are below defined min. stock amount" always rounded up the missing amount to an integral number, this now allows decimal numbers

Recipe improvements/fixes

• It's now possible to print recipes (button next to the recipe title) (thanks @zsarnett)
• Changed that recipe costs are now based on the costs of the products picked by the default consume rule "First due first, then first in first out" (thanks @kriddles)
  • Recipe costs were based on the last purchase price per product before, so this now better reflects the current real costs
• Improved the recipe add workflow (a recipe called "New recipe" is now not automatically created when starting to add a recipe) (thanks @zsarnett)
• Fixed that images on the recipe gallery view were not scaled correctly on larger screens (thanks @zsarnett)
• Fixed that decimal ingredient amounts maybe resulted in wrong conversions or truncated decimal places if your locale does not use a dot as the decimal separator (thanks @m-byte)
• Fixed that a recipe cannot be included in itself (because this will cause an infinite loop) (thanks @fipwmaqzufheoxq92ebc)
• Fixed that when editing a recipe ingredient the checkbox "Disable stock fulfillment checking for this ingredient" was not initaliased with the saved value
• Fixed that the status filter ("Enough in stock", etc.) on the recipes page did not filter recipes on the gallery tab (thanks @fipwmaqzufheoxq92ebc)
• Fixed that consuming a recipe ingredient with tare weight handling enabled consumed a wrong amount (thanks @fipwmaqzufheoxq92ebc)

Meal plan fixes

• Fixed that for products the quantity unit purchase was displayed instead of the products quantity unit stock (thanks @BenoitAnastay)

Chores improvements/fixes

• Changed that not assigned chores on the chores overview page display now just a dash instead of an ellipsis in the "Assigned to" column to make this more clear (thanks @Germs2004)
• Fixed (again) that weekly chores, where the next execution should be in the same week, were scheduled (not) always (but sometimes) for the next week only (thanks @shadow7412)
• Fixed that the assignment type "In alphabetic order" did not work correctly (the last person in the list was always assigned next once reached) (thanks @fipwmaqzufheoxq92ebc)

Equipment improvements

• The equipment page now will never automatically reload, even when Auto reload on external changes is on and a change was detected (because you most probably have that page open longer to read the manual) (thanks @fipwmaqzufheoxq92ebc)

Calendar improvements/fixes

• Events are now links to the corresponding page (thanks @zsarnett)
• Fixed a PHP warning when using the "Share/Integrate calendar (iCal)" button (thanks @tsia)
• Fixed that "Track date only"-chores were always displayed at 12am (are now displayed as all-day events)

Tasks improvements

• Tasks don't need to unique anymore (name field)

• New Userfield type "File" to attach any file, will be rendered as a link to the file in tables (if enabled) (thanks @fipwmaqzufheoxq92ebc)
• New Userfield type "Picture" to attach a picture, the picture will be rendered (small) in tables (if enabled) (thanks @fipwmaqzufheoxq92ebc)

General & other improvements/fixes

• UI refresh / style improvements (thanks @zsarnett for the idea and initial work on this)
• Improved mobile views (thanks @4lloyd for the idea and initial work on this)
  • The buttons on the top of each page and the filter row is now collapsed (use the ellipsis/filter button to show them, this also superseded the shopping list compact view)
  • Tables are horizontally scrollable (instead of collapsing columns which don't fit)
• Table columns can now be shown/hidden (new little eye icon on the top left corner on each table)
  • There are also new columns on some pages, hidden by default
    • Stock overview: Value, product group, calories
• Table states (visible columns, sorting, column order and so on) are now saved server side (in user settings) means that this stays the same when using different browsers
• Dialogs are now used everywhere where appropriate instead of jumping between pages (for exampel when adding/editing shopping list items)
• Added a "Clear filter"-button on all pages (with filters) to quickly reset applied filters
• Prefilled number inputs now use sensible decimal places (max. the configured decimals while hiding trailing zeros where appropriate, means if you never use partial amounts for a product, you'll never see decimals for it)
• Improved / more precise validation messages for number inputs
• The data path (previously fixed to the data folder) is now configurable, making it possible to run multiple grocy instances from the same directory (with different config.php files / different database, etc.) (thanks @fgrsnau)
  • Via an environment variable GROCY_DATAPATH (higher priority)
  • Via an FastCGI parameter GROCY_DATAPATH (lower priority)
• The language can now be set per user (see the new user settings page / top right corner settings menu) (thanks @fipwmaqzufheoxq92ebc)
  • Additionally, the language is now also auto-guessed based on the browser locale (HTTP-Header Accept-Language)
  • The config.php option CULTURE was renamed to DEFAULT_LOCALE
  • So the used language is based on (in that order)
    • The user setting
    • If not set, then based on browser locale
    • If no matching localizaton was found, DEFAULT_LOCALE from config.php is used
• Performance improvements (page loading time) of the stock overview page (thanks @fipwmaqzufheoxq92ebc)
• The prerequisites checker now also checks for the minimum required SQLite version (thanks @Forceu)
• Replaced (again, added before in v2.7.0, then reverted in v2.7.1 due to some problems) QuaggaJS (seems to be unmaintained) by Quagga2
• More config.php settings (see the section Component configuration for Quagga2) to tweak Quagga2 (this is the component used for device camera for barcode scanning) (thanks @andrelam)
• Some localization string fixes (thanks @duckfullstop)
• Better error pages
• Fixed that XSS / HTML injection was possible through some user input fields (low severity / not really a problem as this could not be abused unauthenticated)
• New translations: (thanks all the translators)
  • Greek (demo available at https://el.demo.grocy.info)
  • Korean (demo available at https://ko.demo.grocy.info)

API improvements/fixes

  • All (product) amounts are now related to the products stock quantity unit (was related to the products purchase QU for the shopping list before)
  • The product object no longer has a field barcodes with a comma separated barcode list, instead barcodes are now stored in a separate table/entity product_barcodes (use the existing "Generic entity interactions" endpoints to access them)

  • The output / field names of ProductDetailsResponse have slightly changed (endpoint /stock/products/{productId})
  • Endpoint /stock/volatile
    • The query parameter expring_days was renamed to due_soon_days
    • The field expiring_products was renamed to due_products
    • The field expired_products now only contains expired products (so them with Due date type = Expiration date)
    • The new field overdue_products contains only overdue products (so them with Due date type = Best before date)
• For better integration (apps), it's now possible to show a QR-Code for API keys (thanks @fipwmaqzufheoxq92ebc)
  • New QR-Code button on the "Manage API keys"-page (top right corner settings menu), the QR-Codes contains <API-Url>|<API-Key>
  • And on the calendar page when using the button "Share/Integrate calendar (iCal)", there the QR-Codes contains the Share-URL (which is displayed in the textbox above)
• The output of the following endpoints can now be filtered (by any field), ordered and paginated (thanks for the initial work on this @fipwmaqzufheoxq92ebc)
  • /objects/{entity}
  • /stock/products/{productId}/entries
  • /stock/products/{productId}/locations

      • <condition> is a comparison operator, one of
        • = equal
        • ~ LIKE
        • < less
        • > greater
        • >= greater or equal

• New endpoints GET/POST/PUT /users/{userId}/permissions for the new user permissions feature mentioned above
• The stock journal (entity stock_log) is now also available via the endpoint /objects/{entity} (=> /objects/stock_log)
• Performance improvements of the /stock/products/* endpoints (thanks @fipwmaqzufheoxq92ebc)
• Fixed that the endpoint /objects/{entity}/{objectId} always returned successfully, even when the given object not exists (now returns 404 when the object is not found) (thanks @fipwmaqzufheoxq92ebc)
• Fixed that the endpoint /stock/volatile didn't include products which expire today (thanks @fipwmaqzufheoxq92ebc)
• Fixed that the endpoint /objects/{entity} did not include Userfields for Userentities (so the effective endpoint /objects/userobjects)
• Fixed that the endpoint /stock/consume returned the response code 200 and an empty response body when stock_entry_id was set (consuming a specific stock entry) but invalid (now returns the response code 400) (thanks @fipwmaqzufheoxq92ebc)
• Endpoint /calendar/ical: Fixed that "Track date only"-chores were always set to happen at 12am (are treated as all-day events now)
• Fixed (again) that CORS was broken
