v12.25

Changed

• Improved the set of allowable characters for form names which break Power BI (see the full list here)

Fixed

• Temporarily reverted part of the recent de-duplication feature that was causing some responses (under heavy server load) to only partially process and require re-processing
• Made additional improvements to the de-duplication feature which will be released again after the above is fully addressed

As always, there are lots of smaller things under the hood; see entire history of changes, list of main releases, and technical upgrade guides for more.

v12.24

Changed

• Updated the allowable characters in form titles to match what Power BI can currently handle
  • Specifically, you can't use the characters / or % or _ (though all other characters are fine, including symbols and emoji), and the form name must have at least one non-symbol character in it. Existing form names are unaffected even if they don't match this new criteria.
• Removed some verbose logging for de-deduplication verification now that it's confirmed successful

v12.23

Added

• The long-awaited response de-deduplication feature is here! 📯 [ODK Collect only]
  • From now on, if users try to submit the same response twice (for example, giant responses that take a long time to process or while the server is under heavy load), duplicate submissions will be safely ignored.
  • To get explicit: a response is considered to be a duplicate if the XML blob is identical (meaning all the same answers are submitted) and the submitting user ID is identical. If two different users submit the same response answers, it will NOT be ignored.

Fixes

Changed
