2.8.0-beta.0

2.8.0-beta.0: The (first) beta version for 2.8.0 is available for testing now.
@sergei-maertens sergei-maertens tagged this 17 Sep 13:45 
.. warning:: We encourage you to test out this beta version on non-production
   environments and report your findings back to use. This release is not suitable for
   production yet though.

Upgrade notes
-------------

There are no manual actions required - all upgrades and migrations are automatic.

.. note:: The UX rework in the ZGW APIs registration plugin is not entirely finished
   yet. The Objects API integration in particular can be a bit confusing since it's not
   possible yet to select which Objects API should be used. The plugin now uses the API
   group that's listed first in the admin interface (**Admin** > **Miscellaneous** >
   **Objects API Groups**).

Detailed changes
----------------

**New features**

* [:backend:`4577`] We improved the user experience when configuring the Objects API
  registration plugin. Copy-pasting URLs is being phased out - you can now select the
  relevant configurations in dropdowns.
* [:backend:`4606`] Improved the user experience of the ZGW APIs registration plugin.
  We're making this consistent with the Objects API. More improvements will be done in
  the future.
* [:backend:`4542`] Email components now support optional verification - when enabled,
  users must verify their email address before they can continue submitting the form.
* [:backend:`4582`] The SAML metadata for the DigiD/eHerkenning identity providers is
  now automatically refreshed on a weekly basis.
* [:backend:`4380`] The StUF-ZDS registration plugin now supports sending payment
  details in the ``extraElementen`` data. For 2.7 this was available in an extension,
  which has been merged in core - migrating is automatic.
* [:backend:`4545`] You can now optionally configure an introduction page, which is
  displayed before the start of the form.
* [:backend:`4543`] You can now optionally enable a short progress summary showing the
  current step number and the total number of steps in a form.

.. note:: The ``addressNL`` component is not yet a fully capable replacement for
   individual address fields. Currently, it's only recommended for BRK-validation
   purposes.

**Bugfixes**

* [:backend:`4597`] Revert message for not-filled-in-fields in confirmation PDF back to
  just empty space.
* Fixed processing of empty file upload components in the Objects API registration plugin.
* Fixed an upgrade check incorrectly reporting problems.
* [:backend:`4627`] Fixed a crash in the eHerkenning-via-OIDC plugin if no ActingSubjectID
  claim is present.
* [:backend:`4602`] Fixed missing Dutch translation for minimum required checked items
  error message in the selectboxes component.
* [:backend:`4587`] Fixed the product not being copied along when copying a form.

**Project maintenance**

* Addressed broken test isolation in CI leading to flaky tests.
* Upgraded a number of dependencies to their latest (security) releases.
* Improved the static type annotations in the codebase.
* Failing end-to-end tests now produce Playwright traces in CI to help debug the problem.
* Added a utility script to find VCR cassette directories.
* [:backend:`4646`, :backend:`4396`] Restructured the Objects API configuration to be
  in a shared code package, which can be used by the registration and prefill plugins.
* [:backend:`4648`] Corrected the documentation about the minimum PostgreSQL version
  (v12) and confirmed support for PostgreSQL 15.
* Squashed migrations.
