New functions and enhancements

The e-mail server configuration for notification settings for a flow has been removed from edoc automate. Instead, you can configure the email server settings in edoc workplace.
ID 20129: Configure e-mail server settings centrally in edoc workplace for all workflow definitions
You can now use edoc workplace to centrally configure the e-mail server settings of the SMTP server for e-mail notifications across all workflow definitions.
ID 20134: Support OAuth 2.0 authentication for e-mail notifications
You can now configure OAuth 2.0 authentication for your SMTP servers in edoc workplace. This new option complements existing methods, such as basic authentication, and ensures that your e-mail notifications continue to be sent securely and reliably even if your provider disables basic authentication.
As an administrator, select the E-mail – SMTP – OAuth 2.0 connection method in the SMTP settings and enter the required information. The system then uses modern, token-based methods to log in to the SMTP mail server. Existing configurations remain fully functional and can be migrated gradually as needed.
ID 20228: Support Microsoft Entra authentication for e-mail notifications
You can now configure authentication via Microsoft Entra ID for your Microsoft SMTP servers in edoc workplace. This new option complements existing methods, such as basic authentication (Basic Auth) or generic OAuth 2 authentication, and ensures that your e-mail notifications continue to be sent securely and reliably even if your provider disables basic authentication.
As an administrator, select the E-mail – SMTP – Microsoft Entra connection method in the SMTP settings and enter the required information.

ID 20307: Enable faster and more stable work in edoc workplace when dealing with a high volume of tasks

Bug fixes and improvements
Normal ID 18558: Task notifications (TaskNotification) are not sent when a task is closed and the next task is created
Notifications for tasks are now sent reliably in all cases. Previously, as a task assignee, you would not receive an e-mail when a task was completed and the workflow automatically moved on to the next task. This allows you to keep track of follow-up tasks in multi-step workflows.
Normal ID 20023: When overwriting a version, the app import also incorrectly overwrites the app variables of the active version
When you import an app and overwrite the version, or create a new version of an app, the overwrite variable setting is now applied, so that variables are not overwritten.
