Changes in Strawberry-docker v7.0.0 (2025-11-27)
Breaking Changes
* BREAKING CHANGE: Preditor is EOL.
* API DEPRECATION: The user's owned team should now be retrieved using the
owned_team_id attribute instead of @own_team_id@. The latter will be removed no earlier than the 7.0 release.
* API DEPRECATION: The user's list of @team_ids@ in the @api/v1/teams/user_owned@ response should now be retrieved as @.teams[].team_ids@. It is still available at @.teams[].users[].team_ids@ but will be removed no earlier than the 7.0 release.
* API DEPRECATION: The owner (user) of an owned (user) team should now be retrieved using the @owner_id@ on the team, the @owned_team_id@ attribute on User API responses might be removed no earlier than the 7.0 release.
* API DEPRECATION: Successful API responses (status code 200) that currently only return the JSON string @ok@ will be changed to status code 204 with the next major release (7.2).
Major Features in Strawberry 7.0
* New: Introduce the new Strawberry UI.
* New: Responsive design for Review and Approval workflows with Galleries.
* New: Introduce an AI-based Transcription service. This feature is currently in Preview, and the full release will happen soon.
Other New Features & Improvements
* New: Introducing NamedLocks, ensuring accurate concurrent interaction in the backend of Strawberry.
* New: Multisite transfer failures can now be cleared from the UI.
* Improvements: Improve API documentation for StatusFlag endpoints.
* New: Script to rename duplicate projects with a @duplicate_name_@ prefix back to their original name (@pamctl run /opt/sb/app/fsbase/script/fix_duplicate_project_names.rb@).
* New: Scoped to Project StatusFlags and CustomMetadataSets. A scoped StatusFlag or CustomMetadataSet can only be used by its scoped Project.
* New: API endpoint to retrieve Projects StatusFlags (either scope or unscoped). /api/v1/projects/#
id}/status_flags.
Changes
* Changed: Skies seat tracking is now floating instead of user-bound. Admins can assign any Skies seat tier to an unlimited number of users, and only logged-in users occupy a seat.
* Changed: When retaining a project during a multi-site transfer, the proxies are retained as well, speeding up transfer times.
* Changed: Speed up uploaded file ingestion by avoiding copy operation.
* Changed: De-duplication no longer relies on the technical metadata fingerprint to allow updates of the metadata extractors.
* Changed: All successful API responses (status code 200) now include an HTTP body.
* Changed: Reduced the concurrency of the notification queue from 5 to 3.
* Changed: Make team API calls and response backwards compatible with the 6.6.x API again.
* Changed: Not specifying a custom Pixstor port or an incorrect port in the configuration falls back to the default port.
* Changed: Adapt password reset error message for OIDC/LDAP users.
* Changed: Upgraded PostgreSQL, Ruby, Redis, and more.
Bug Fixes
* Fixed: Race condition during multi-site transfers when the Lucidlink mount did not populate new files fast enough.

* Fixed: When mounting a project failed, the error handler incorrectly removed all mounted projects of the edit, not just the one that failed.
* Fixed: Project (read-only) permissions were not set correctly after importing a project from a remote site.
* Fixed: SharedEditsTrashJob could fill up the local queue with duplicates.
* Fixed: Download of annotation PDFs did not work when using Lucidlink storage with a view-farm on a separate server.

* Fixed: Multisite notification setting could not be modified on systems without the Communication system addon.
* Fixed: Indexer exception when all files of an image sequence have been replaced with files having different inodes.
* Fixed: Indexer using excessive amount of memory extracting metadata for complex/compressed (tiff/psd) image files, potentially causing OOM errors.
