For Functional Users

💻 Reports​

Version 2025.2.0 brings several enhancements to make reports clearer and more convenient to use. The action Create your dashlet has been renamed to Create a report for better clarity.

Reports can now be displayed in full screen for improved visibility.

In addition, when users click on the title of one of their personal reports, they are redirected to the search screen used to build the report, making it easier to access the information they need.

These changes are only the beginning: further improvements to reports are planned for upcoming versions to continue enhancing the user experience.

We encourage our users to share their use cases, needs, or ideas, and to vote on our product portal to help us shape the next evolutions

💻 The ARender viewer, improvements​

This new version of the viewer offers enhanced security following the correction of several CVEs.

💻 Administration, users management​

The user creation or update screen now clearly highlights all required fields. The "Create" or “Save” button will remain inactive until all mandatory fields are completed.

💻 Administration, groups management​

The group creation or update screen clearly highlights all mandatory fields. The "Create" or "Save" button remains inactive until all mandatory fields have been filled in.

For integrators

👨‍💻 New Java REST Client​

With version 2025.2.0, FlowerDocs introduces a dedicated Java client library to simplify and accelerate integration with our REST APIs. This client provides typed models, utility methods, and centralized handling of authentication and errors. It significantly enhances the developer experience, reduces maintenance effort during API evolutions, and ensures consistent usage across projects.

Compared to SOAP, REST is lighter, more standardized, and widely adopted in modern ecosystems. It integrates more easily with today’s frameworks, enables faster exchanges with simple formats like JSON, and reduces the technical complexity of integrations.

Ideal for partners and integrators building middleware or custom automations, this REST client shortens time-to-integration while providing a reliable, standardized foundation.

👨‍💻 New endpoints​

New REST endpoints are available:

• to create or retrieve annotations in json format instead of XFDF format in order to facilitate these actions via APIs
• to manipulate reservations by providing a list of component references
• to retrieve a token with an expiry date

See details in the upgrade notes: here

💻 Administration, directory management​

To view all the groups to which a user is entitled, even if they are nested in the directory, you need to activate the user.groups.resolve-recursively=true property in the core.properties file. It is no longer possible to activate this property via the administration GUI.

For operators

💻 Security Enhancements (CVE Fixes)​

Several CVEs have been addressed in this version. Specific details are withheld to protect against exploit attempts.

Bug fixes

Known issues

• It is no longer possible to modify group information from the FlowerDocs administration GUI. Modifications made directly in the directory are taken into account.
• Java REST client - The addFiles() method returns only 1 of the added documents instead of all documents when sending multiple documents.
