Release Notes - Version 26.6

New Role-Based Access Model

This release introduces a redesigned access control system with granular, per-project permissions.

What changed:

• Each user or group assigned to a project now receives a specific role (Viewer, Contributor, or Manager) instead of binary access/no-access.
• A new All Users virtual group can be assigned to make a project accessible to all authenticated users at a chosen role level.
• Legacy projects (created before 26.6) that were previously public are displayed with an "All Users -> Viewer" assignment.
• Users and groups carried over from the old access model are assigned Manager role to preserve existing access levels.

See Access Model for complete documentation.

Xpedition 2604 Support

Full support for Siemens Xpedition version 2604 has been added. Projects created with 2604 can be imported, checked in/out, and previewed.

Xpedition Standard/Advanced Tier

A new licensing tier EEforce for Xpedition - now supports Xpedition Standard and Advanced editions. Contact your reseller for tier-specific pricing.

INFO

Licensing tiers may be adjusted based on customer feedback.

LDAP Enhancements and Group Synchronization

• EEforce groups can now be linked to Active Directory groups over LDAP.
• When a linked AD group membership changes, the corresponding EEforce group is updated automatically on user login.
• Several stability fixes for LDAP authentication flows.

File Transfer Improvements

Reliability on Slow Networks

• Retry logic for file uploads has been adjusted.
• Buffering improvements reduce memory spikes during large transfers.
• Fixed edge cases where partial uploads could leave containers in an inconsistent state.

Chunked Uploads

Large design files are now optionally split into smaller chunks during upload. If a chunk fails, only that chunk is retransmitted - not the entire package.

TIP

Chunked uploads add minimal overhead on fast networks but significantly improve reliability on slower or unstable connections. Enable this if you experience upload failures.
