ALGA PSA v. 0.0.14 RELEASE NOTES 

🚀 New Features

CitusDB Integration & Query Optimization

We've made major strides toward leveraging CitusDB for distributed, scalable database operations:

• Tenant-Aware Query Optimization:

  • Added joins on tenant tables to enable efficient query execution across distributed nodes.

  • Reduced redundant extension creation (e.g., uuid-ossp) to streamline database setup.

• Performance Improvements:

  • Enhanced Docker build efficiency with multi-layer caching for faster database deployments.

  • Updated Helm templates for better database connection handling and secret management.

• Operational Refinements:

  • Migrated database schema to optimize compatibility with distributed CitusDB clusters.

  • Improved job scheduling and user authentication for multi-tenant environments.

"Like the Cheshire Cat, these updates quietly make everything smoother while grinning in the background!" 😸

Prebuilt Docker Image Deployment

• Added Docker configurations for community and full editions.

• Streamlined deployment process by automating environment setup and database migration.

• New prebuilt Docker images for faster production deployments.

"Even the Queen of Hearts would approve of this streamlined kitchen!" 👑

Date Handling Overhaul with Temporal API

• Migrated date handling across the application to Temporal API for improved timezone support and date arithmetic accuracy.

• Separated model and view interfaces for time periods, introducing safer type conversions.

• Enhanced billing and invoice generation logic to handle dates reliably.

“Time flies differently here—just ask the Mad Hatter!” 🎉 

Advanced Recurrence Handling for Scheduling

We've streamlined and enriched scheduling operations to provide powerful management options for recurring events:

• Structured Editing & Deletion Options:

  • Edit or delete a single instance, this and future instances, or all instances with ease.

  • Granular confirmation dialogs for both editing and deletion ensure clear user interactions.

• Timezone Accuracy & Propagation:

  • Enhanced event updates now handle timezone discrepancies seamlessly.

• Type-Safe Recurrence Operations:

  • Simplified recurrence pattern handling for better performance and error management.

"Follow the recurrence road, but beware the tornado of edits and deletions! 🌪️👠"

Provisioning API Documentation

• Comprehensive design and documentation for the new MSP PSA enterprise Provisioning API.

• Covers security, architecture, and partner integration details for seamless enterprise account provisioning.

"Now anyone can navigate this labyrinth with the Queen's map in hand!" 💖

🔧 Improvements

UI Consistency Improvements

• More flexible dialog widths with custom class props and proper recurrence constraints.

"Dialogs now resize like Alice's Wonderland cakes!" 🍄

Enhanced Platform Support

• Added a Windows Setup Guide tailored for smoother onboarding and development with step-by-step instructions for configuring the project environment on Windows.

"Step boldly down the rabbit hole, Windows adventurers—there's a wonderland of streamlined setup ahead! 💻🐇✨"

🛠️ Bug Fixes and Refinements

• Fixed Docker build issues by including essential configuration files and improving layer caching.

• Resolved compilation errors by separating model and view interfaces for time periods.

• Enhanced error handling for contact operations with better UI messaging and validation.

• Optimized GitHub action permissions and package publishing processes.

• Ensured smoother startup with production mode configurations and optimized scripts.

• Integrated GitHub Actions and Packages to streamline CI/CD workflows.
