Release notes Workspace 365 V3.31.0

We've just successfully updated Workspace 365 towards version 3.31.0. The announced improvements are now live. The release notes of this update can be reviewed here: 

Additions

• From now on, all announcements are displayed in the brand-new Announcement Centre. The centre brings a new and refreshing user interface, with several new improvements, such as displaying the author and category in the announcement, and the possibility to quickly navigate to other announcements.
• With this release, we introduce birthday activities. Whenever someone has a birthday, we notify people with a birthday activity in the Activity Feed. From the activity, you can send your birthday wishes. All received birthday wishes are also displayed in the feed.
• It’s now possible to set tags for custom activities created via the Activity Feed API. This helps to organise the activities, as they are collected in the same stack.
• Get more insight into your activities with the improved the design of the activity cards. They now show the activity category in the card.                                            

Technical items

• We reduced the flickering of some of the app icons.
• Reduced the “Idle” load on the database from the Document Background Service (DBS).
• Removed the ShowAccessibleWebDavFileServersOnlyPreview flag.
• Changed the sending of system emails to a modern SMTP client. We removed the default configured SmtpAccount and SmtpPassword from the deployment package.
• We improved the performance of cleaning up old activities.

Fixes

• Fixed that renaming a file server item to having an “@” symbol would not be possible.
• In some rare scenarios, the product could get stuck if an error would occur during start up.
• Improved the user experience for deleting an activity.
