0.    SUMMARY
      * Migration to openMDX 2 architecture
      * Improvements for work and expense record management
      * Bug fixes

      For more information see below and http://www.opencrx.org/opencrx/2.5/new.htm


1.    NEW FEATURES

      CR10008599
      Birthday calendars. Generation of birthday calendars added to ICal servlet.
      Sample URL is: http://localhost:8080/opencrx-ical-CRX/bdays?id=CRX/Standard/filter/Accounts~all&alarm=true&max=100
      Parameters:
      * id: account filter.
      * alarm: true|false. Generate alarm tag. Default is false.
      * max: Generate events for max accounts. Default is 500.
      * icalType: VTODO|VEVENT. Default is VEVENT.
      * year: Generate events for years [year-1, year, year+1]. Default is current year.
      * categories: CATEGORIES attribute. Default is Birthday
      * summaryPrefix: Prefix for attribute SUMMARY. Default is ""

      CR10008602
      Redesign Grid Follow-Ups. Add FormattedFollowUpDataBinding which formats
      the fields transition, assignedTo, createdAt, modifiedAt of an ActivityFollowUp.

      CR10008468
      Final PrincipalGroups. Add flag to mark PrincipalGroups as final. Access
      level deep does not calculate subgroups for final principal groups. isFinal
      can therefore be used to fine-control the behaviour of access level deep.

2.    CHANGES

2.0.  CHANGED FEATURES

      CR10008700
      Database: improve case-insensitive search. UPPER(column) LIKE UPPER(?)
      does not work for all databases.

      CR10008581
      Upgrade Timeline to version 2.3.0.

      CR10008468
      Final PrincipalGroups. Add flag to mark PrincipalGroups as final. The access
      control plugin does not subgroups for final principal groups in case of
      accessLevelBrowse=access level deep.

      CR10008467
      Work and Expense record. Extend existing work record so that expenses
      can be stored as well. Wizard CreateWorkAndExpenseRecord which allows
      user-friendly management of work and expense records.

      CR10007950
      Migrate application plugin to openMDX 2 architecture. Backend classes
      in package org.opencrx.kernel.backend are fully rewritten. The backend
      now uses the typed jmi1 openCRX API instead of the deprecated, generic
      openMDX 1 RequestCollection/DataproviderObject API. A backend is now
      organized as library. The methods can be used in wizards, portal
      extensions, data bindings or backend extensions. beClass.getInstance(),
      e.g. Accounts.getInstance() allows an easy-to-use lookup. The standard
      backend classes can be overriden by user-defined implementations.
      This way the standard openCRX business-logic can easily be adapted and
      extended.

      A user-defined backend class can be added as follows:

      1. Write a class which extends one of the standard backend classes,
      e.g. Accounts as follows:

      package com.mycompany.opencrx.backend;

      public class Accounts extends org.opencrx.kernel.backend.Accounts {

	    public static void register(
	    ) {
		    registerImpl(new com.mycompany.opencrx.backend.Accounts());
	    }

        protected Accounts(
        ) {
        }

        ...
      }

      2. Extend the standard Configuration class and register your backend
      class as follows:

      package com.mycompany.opencrx.backend;

      public class Configuration extends org.opencrx.kernel.aop2.Configuration {

	    public Configuration(
        ) {
		   super();
		   com.mycompany.opencrx.backend.Accounts.register();
	    }

      }

      3. Register the configuration class in
      src/ear/opencrx-core-CRX.ear/gateway.jar/META-INF/ejb-jar.xml. This can
      be done by adapting the entry configuration.class.name in the
      build.properties file.


      CR10008417
      Replace openMDX/Log by SLF4J / JDK Logger. The sub-project openMDX/Log is
      not used anymore by openCRX. Tomcat+OpenEJB can therefore be configured
      as follows:
      * Option -Dorg.openmdx.log.config.filename can be removed and corresponding
        log properties file can be removed
      * Update CATALINA_HOME/bin/tomcat-juli.jar from openmdx/jre-1.5/core/lib
      * Update CATALINA_HOME/lib/openmdx-base.jar from openmdx/jre-1.5/core/lib
      * Add slf4j-jdk14-1.5.6.jar to CATALINA_HOME/lib
      * Remove slf4j-openmdx1.jar from CATALINA_HOME/lib
      * Adapt log configuration in CATALINA_HOME/conf/logging.properties to your needs
      * Remove LogConsoleServlet from customized web.xml

2.1.  FIXED BUGS

      SF2808264
      Setup-Problem with 2.5.0 on Tomcat and DB2. OpenCrxSecurity_1 plugin fixed. This
      fixes the following reported errors:
      1) User creation error
      2) Start openCRX with empty database
      3) Change password

      CR10008615
      vCard Importer appends postalStreet. Importing the same vCard multiple
      times leads to unwanted extra lines in postalStreet; it seems that the
      importer just appends the imported lines to postalStreet instead of
      replacing existing lines with the imported lines.

      CR10008609
      ui/code-merge/split broken. Parameter sourceDir ignored/not correctly injected?

      CR10008595
      pg script dbcreate-table.sql of v2.5.0 is no good. Use TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE
      instead of ABSTIME.

      SF329844
      So I did a post with the following settings:
      POST http://localhost:8080/opencrx-rest-CRX/org.opencrx.kernel.account1/provider/CRX/segment/Standard/account/7wmWgCjdEd6ri3Nu6Dapag/member
      <?xml version="1.0"?>
      <org.opencrx.kernel.account1.Member>
        <name>MyName</name>
        <account>xri://@openmdx*org.opencrx.kernel.account1/provider/CRX/segment/Standard/account/NI7XwEIBEd29BeMf4vj8cA</account>
      </org.opencrx.kernel.account1.Member>
      NI7XwEIBEd29BeMf4vj8cA should become a member of 7wmWgCjdEd6ri3Nu6Dapag.
      Anyway, I get a server error, without using the account argument all is fine.

2.2   REMOVED FEATURES
      none
