Clarive 7.20.3 Release Notes¶

Release date: June 29, 2026

We're pleased to present our new patch release of Clarive 7.20.3 with some important features and bugfixes:

Improvements and issues resolved¶

[FIX] #3914 Remove internal admin-guide documents¶

Removed a set of admin-guide documentation pages that unintentionally exposed Clarive's internal development details. These pages described internal backend architecture, model and controller class names, dispatch tables and developer-only commands that are not meant for end users. They have been dropped from both the English and Spanish documentation so the published docs only cover supported, user-facing functionality.

[FIX] #3915 WS rules log is not being shown in the web log¶

Fixed an issue where the output produced by web service rules was not appearing in the web log. Anything a rule printed to standard output while running through the web service endpoint was being captured but never forwarded to the log, making it harder to trace and debug rule execution. The captured output is now written to the web log, so rule activity is visible again alongside the rest of the server log.

[FIX] #3916 Total exec time in monitor is not correct¶

Corrected the total execution time shown for finished jobs in the monitor. The elapsed time was computed using only the seconds component of the duration, so it could never exceed 59 seconds and longer jobs displayed a misleading value. The monitor now calculates the full elapsed time between the job start and end, so multi-minute and multi-hour jobs report their real duration. The tooltip label was also aligned with the dashboard, now reading "Total Elapsed Time".

[FIX] #3919 Image rendering for fieldlet.system.cis in view mode¶

Fixed the rendering of Configuration Item (Resource) icons in the topic view. In view mode, the icon shown next to a CIs system fieldlet could be displayed at an oversized resolution instead of as a small inline icon. The icon size is now constrained in the topic head section, so CI images render consistently at the expected small size.

[FIX] #3922 Wrong utf8 conversion in git viewer¶

Fixed incorrect UTF-8 handling in the git viewer when displaying source files and diffs. Files containing non-ASCII characters could be shown as garbled text (mojibake) because the raw bytes were not decoded as UTF-8 before being presented. The viewer now forces UTF-8 decoding for both the source view and the diff view, while still keeping raw bytes available for binary detection, so accented and international content renders correctly.

Fixed a layout issue where the sidebar could be compressed below its declared width when the adjacent content needed more horizontal space. The sidebar now keeps its declared width, and the main panel correctly shrinks to the available space instead of overflowing horizontally. As part of the same fix, the topic grid actions column stays pinned flush to the right edge and remains opaque on row hover, so the actions button is no longer clipped and scrolling columns no longer show through behind it.
