UI/UX

Processors and Recognizers

Improvements

Aspire Saga-Parser

• : Ability to log into NoSQL DB (in addition to filesystem)

Docker/Kubernetes

• Several improvements to docker file/image to make it easier to deploy and work Saga in Kubernetes.
  • Dynamic load configuration (env file, path, dynamic environment variables for Saga and Python Bridge)
  Improved to be easier to use with Kubernetes.

Recognizers/Processors

• Entity Recognizer - New flags (TOTAL_MATCH and PARTIAL_MATCH). 
• Python Model Recognizer - Added "Match Threshold" option.
• Python Model Recognizer - inform Inform hostname error properly.
• Python Classification Watcher/Mode Python Model Recognizers - improved Improved authentication process with Python Bridge. 

• Spellchecker stage using now the abstract indexer (it was connecting directly to Elasticsearch before.) Known issue on 1.3.3.

UI/UX

• Deprecated warning added in Rules/Executors screen. Rules/Executors only work with old ESUI not GAIA.

Vulnerabilities

• Vulnerabilities Fixed critical, high, and medium vulnerabilities found by security scans . SHOULD WE MENTION THEM???

• on both Saga Server and Python Bridge. Remaining some vulnerabilites related to CIO Docker Images out of our control. 

Bug fixes
