Migration notes

• #3449: We included a feature which makes it unnecessary to use a repeat-relevant node in Enketo forms to workaround a bug which created an empty child. This node should now be removed.
• #3629: We added more configurable text to the target widgets. Also, configuring an array of target titles is now deprecated in favor specifying a single translation key. Reconfigure your targets to specify values for translation_key, subtitle_translation_key, and percentage_count_translation_key properties. Full documentation.
• #3818: We changed the way groups of scheduled messages are silenced when using silence_for. Previously, only the first group found to be in the silence window was silenced. Now, all groups are.
• #4134: Review use of calculate="." in all forms. If you have any XForm with with calculate="." you will need to modify the corresponding XLSForm, reconvert, and upload. The changes to make are:
  • From type calculate to string
  • Make sure the calculation column is empty
  • Have the appearance as hidden
  • The label can be NO_LABEL to avoid warnings and bloat in the form

Features

• #3096: Allow users to take a photo while filling in an xform in Enketo and upload the photo with the form.
• #3459: Add format-date-tr() to our custom xpath functions to support translations of days and months in xforms.
• #3450: Show the logout button in the hamburger menu for android users who have the new can_log_out_on_android permission set.
