We are proud to announce the 5.4 release of Tryton.
In addition to my bug fixes and performance improvements, this release improves in many place the user experience. It also extends a lot the existing workflow to support more use cases. We see 8 new modules landing as official.
You can have a try it on the demo server, use the docker image or download it here.
As usual the migration from previous series is fully supported. Some manual operation may be required, see Migration from 5.2 to 5.4.
Here is the list of the most noticeable changes:

Changes For The User
We can show a visual context on the rows or cells. Those visual context can be muted , success , warning or danger . Many modules have been updated to use them like the payable and receivable today on the party or when an invoice is due etc.

In the search bar of the clients, we enabled the direct search on fields of relational field types, like One2Many, Many2Many and Many2One. This is done by appending a dot to the relational field name and then the name of the field in the relation model. E.g. On products filter you can use the search clause Variants.Code: PROD, to find all products, which variants have a code named PROD.
The search entry provides completion for such related fields.
By default only one level of completion is activated but customization can activate more. This feature also works on the keys of dictionary fields like the product attributes.

Now the clients display a more user-friendly error messages for domain validation error. The clients display the exact failing constraint using the same format of the search bar.
All the list views have been reviewed. The most important fields are now expanded to take advantage of available space. For main editable view, the creation of new record is done on top instead of bottom to avoid to load all the records.
For now, an CSV export created by a user will be only available for him by default. The administrator can make an export available to a group of users.
Desktop Client
Now, when drag is available on a view, we show a draggable icon to notify the user but also to provide a handle to drag which is easier when the list is editable.
Web Client
The web client now supports drag and drop to order list and tree rows like in the desktop client. There is one small difference to insert a row inside a non-expanded row: The user must drop it below the row while pressing the CTRL key. Otherwise the row is dropped next to the row.

The column size of the web client has been improved. Now columns have a minimal width (depending of the type) and a double scrollbar (top and bottom) is displayed if there is not enough space to show all the columns on the view-port.
Accounting
The constraint that prevented to use twice the same invoice sequence per fiscal year, has been relaxed. Now Tryton checks only that the sequence was not used to number an invoice with a later date.
Since 14 September 2019, Strong Customer Authentication (SCA) has been introduced by EU regulators to reduce online fraud and make the internet a safer place to transact. For that Stripe has introduced the Setup Intent and Payment Intent mechanism for credit card payment. Tryton now supports them in addition to the former mechanism (for SEPA, SOFORT etc.).
Some financial institute have precise requirement about which initiator identifier to use the SEPA message. For that we added a configuration options on the payment journal. The available options for now are: “SEPA Creditor Identifier”, “Belgian Enterprise Number”, “Spanish VAT Number”.
Until now, it was possible to cancel a posted supplier invoice but not one from a customer. This was because in many countries it is not allowed. But in order to be more flexible, we added an option on the company to allow cancel of customer invoice.
When creating manually an accounting move, we set the date to today by default if the current period is selected. Otherwise it is still the start date of the period.
The wizard that renew automatically the fiscal year, now update the sequence name if it contains the year.
When migrating to Tryton, the accountant needs to fill depreciation of existing asset which has already been deprecated. To ease the encoding and ensure a correct computation, we added a field to store the already depreciated amount for the asset. This amount will be deducted from the asset
