New Functionality and Changes Introduced with FICO Xpress Insight 4.52

This section describes the new features and changes introduced with FICO Xpress Insight 4.51.

New in Release 4.52.2

General
  • Windows 7, Windows Server 2008, and 2008 R2 are no longer supported platforms.
Security

  • Attachment file extensions are now validated against a blacklist of extensions that are considered potentially harmful to an end user's computer. An error message will be shown if an attachment with a blacklisted extension is either uploaded or downloaded. If a blacklisted attachment is accessed or created during model execution it will cause the execution to complete with errors and write an error message into the run log. The blacklist of file extensions can be customized in the server standalone.xml by setting the property com.fico.xpress.insight.FileExtensionBlackList to a comma-separated list of extensions. See the Xpress Insight Installation Guide for a list of the default blacklisted file extensions.

  • An Xpress Insight installation can now be configured with its hostname to protect against host header attacks. See the "Securing Xpress Insight" section of the Xpress Insight Installation Guide for more information.

Fixed IN RELEASE 4.52.2

VDL 4.6
  • vdl-table content which extends beyond the width of the parent vdl-column is now correctly truncated.

New in Release 4.52

  • VDL & JS APIs 4.6
    • Important. A number of 3rd party libraries included by the VDL/JS APIs have been updated to include the latest available security fixes. The latest version of the LoDash library is not fully backwards compatible with previous versions. Custom view developers who have coded against the LoDash library shipped with Insight are advised to re-test their view. This impacts existings 4.0, 4.1, 4.5 and 4.6 APIs.
    • The release notes for LoDash 4.0 are available here: LoDash 4.x release notes
    • VDL/JS API 3.x and earlier versions are now deprecated. It is recommended that views are updated to use the latest VDL/JS API versions to benefit from the most recent security improvements

Fixed in Release 4.52

  • VDL 4.6
    • Added missing VDL expression object scenario.summaryData to allow access to ScenarioSummaryData properties.
  • VDL 4.5+
    • Fixed a rendering issue with VDL Table and JS API AutoTable that would cause the table header to be misaligned with the table body when updating the app or when using column filters. The scrollable table extension is only supported in Chrome and Firefox.
