| Version | Date | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 5.3.3 | 2026-10-30 | [*] The notification job no longer rewrites every alert and reminder subscription several times a minute: a subscription is saved once per run and only when something was sent or an error occurred, without changing its Modified date or Modified By [-] Every save of a subscription by the job opened SharePoint requests on the server that were never released; the log of the SharePoint Timer Service filled with “SPRequest object was reclaimed” warnings [-] A change of a subscription made by a script or another tool that sends only some of its fields left the old event type registered on the watched list [*] The license activation link in the ReadMe file of the installation package opens the product activation page of the documentation [+] The product is available in 14 languages: English, Chinese, Czech, Danish, Dutch, Finnish, French, German, Italian, Polish, Russian, Spanish, Swedish and Ukrainian. The language follows the language of the site [*] Column headers of the alerts list wrap to a second line instead of being cut off, so “Send for these changes” is shown in full [*] The modern web part is named “Virto Alerts and Reminders”, the same as the classic web part, instead of “Virto Alert” [*] The button in the tool pane of the classic web part is named “Configure Web Part”, the same as in the other Virto web parts [*] The Web field of the alert and reminder editor shows the site title with its path, and the address under the host the page was opened with as a hover text, instead of the site address only [*] In the reminder editor, the date field on the Options tab is labelled “When To Send Reminders” instead of “When To Send Alerts” [*] The “required” message of the Title field appears after leaving the empty field or after a save attempt, not the moment a new alert or reminder is opened [*] The license message of an unlocked, not yet activated license shows how much time is left to complete the activation [-] When the activation was not completed within 7 days, the product showed a general “license has expired” message; it now says that the activation was not completed and how to finish it [-] For a document, the “All fields values” tag in an alert message listed the internal library columns (Copy Source, Checked Out To, Check In Comment, Type, File Size, Item Child Count, Version and others), showed the Name twice and the first Name with a number prefix; it now lists the columns of the document’s display form, the Name once and without the prefix [-] With about 35 or more subscriptions of the same type on one list, no notifications of that list were sent any more. The number of subscriptions per list is no longer limited [-] The notification about a deleted attachment said that an attachment was added [-] Modern web part: pressing Esc after closing the General Settings panel caused a script error on the page [*] Updated third-party components [-] When a value of the message template could not be read, the notification sent to the recipient contained technical details of the error; it now says in plain words that the value is not available, and the details go to the server logs |
| 5.3.2 | 2026-10-18 | [-] Online activation of a license key failed with an error; the product now connects to the activation server over a secure connection (HTTPS) [-] On sites in a language the product is not translated into, some labels and buttons showed internal names instead of English text [-] On sites with more than one user interface language, the list of alerts showed an error that a column does not exist instead of the alerts [*] Common controls (people picker, text editor, dialogs, folder tree) are shown in the language of the site [*] Licence messages and common messages (no access, errors) are shown in the language of the site [*] The Active Directory connection page in Site Settings, the error messages of the web part, the texts the product adds to e-mails (change type, table of changed fields, attachments, the note for text messages) and the timer job name are shown in the language of the site (Danish, German, Spanish, French, Russian) [-] The Change Type tag in e-mails showed an internal name such as Added or AttachDeleting instead of a readable text [-] When sending failed with an error, the last run status of an alert or reminder was shown in English [-] The message template of a new alert showed the item title caption in English [-] Some labels in Danish, Spanish, French were shown in English [-] The Deploy.ps1 script of the installation package updates an installed solution to the new package, deploys a package without web application resources to the farm, stops with the reason when the deployment fails, and skips features that are already active [-] An error during the license check no longer shows technical details (a stack trace) in the license message; they are written to the SharePoint log [-] Error messages shown in the browser no longer contain technical details (stack traces); they are written to the SharePoint log with a correlation ID [-] The trial period starts when the product is installed or upgraded; before, the product showed “license has expired” until the product registration page in Central Administration was opened [*] Save and Cancel buttons, option lists, delete confirmations, loading indicators and error messages look and work the same as in the other Virto products [*] The unused “Connection string name” field has been removed from the general settings |
| 5.3.1 | 2026-10-11 | [-] The trial period was shared with Virto Kanban Board (same version number): starting or resetting the trial of one product changed the other; the product now has its own trial, and a running trial keeps its start date [*] Trial and license messages look the same as in the other Virto products: an orange bar for a trial or a warning, a red bar when the license is not valid [-] The warning about one license activated on more than one server was not shown in the web part [-] In the general settings, the Save and Close buttons of a mail server setting had no space between them |
| 5.3.0 | 2026-10-11 | [*] Requests that change data are accepted only from pages of the product itself (protection against cross-site request forgery) [*] The web part interface has been rebuilt on Fluent UI: the alerts list, the alert and reminder editor, recipients, message templates and options now use the same look and controls as the other Virto web parts [*] The web part no longer loads the AngularJS, Kendo UI and jQuery libraries, so the page loads faster and does not conflict with other scripts on the page [-] Daily and weekly summaries were not sent at the configured time on farms whose server time zone is not UTC, or during daylight saving time [+] New {{Current Year}} tag for message templates; the default footer uses it instead of a fixed year [*] The trial notice in e-mails is shown as a separate line above the message instead of running into the message text [*] Danish, German, Spanish and French translations completed for all texts of the web part and the e-mails [-] The search in the alerts list could return alerts created by other users [*] The list fields in the alert editor are offered only for lists the user can read [*] The hidden lists the web part keeps its data in are created when the feature is activated [*] The default recipient is now called “Alert author” instead of “Me”, because the e-mails go to the user who created the alert [-] When several changes of one item were united into one e-mail with “Include item attachments”, each attachment was attached several times [-] A recipient that came both from a contact list and from a user or group was listed twice in the e-mail [-] Numbers, currency and dates in e-mails are now formatted with the regional settings of the list’s site instead of the server’s (e.g. “5.000,50 €” for a German site) [-] “After X number of days specified in field” reminders could be sent a day early or late on servers whose time zone is far from UTC [-] Switching the site in the alert editor could show a “List does not exist” error with technical details [*] The run log of an alert (last runs, last error, server) opens in a dialog by clicking its status instead of a browser tooltip [*] The trial, demo and expired-licence notices are shown in the web part, in the product settings and in the e-mails; without a valid licence the settings can still be opened (changes are not saved) and the notifications carry the licence notice instead of the message template |
| 5.2.0 | 2026-10-04 | [-] Text fields in the modern web part settings (communication settings, test letter address) did not accept typed text [+] A warning is shown on the product pages when the Web License Manager installed on the farm is older than the product requires, with a link to the update instructions [+] Demo keys with a fixed expiration date can be applied in Central Administration (Virto License Manager) after the trial period ends; they work without Internet access [+] Users see a warning on the product forms when the Virto ONE subscription has expired, with the date the product stops working [-] Web part had no icon in the classic “Insert > Web Part” gallery [-] Deactivating the feature on one site collection stopped alerts on all other site collections of the web application [-] The list link in the alerts grid now opens in the same address the site is opened by (e.g. an external address), instead of always the internal one [*] Web part icon is now blue, in the standard SharePoint colour [*] Deactivating the feature now also removes the web part from the web part gallery [-] The modern web part was also listed in the classic “Insert > Web Part” gallery, without an icon, and failed when added to a classic page |
