      You can get the latest WebParts release here http://www.quest.com/common/registration.aspx?requestdefid=14125 Here is a list of what is new in WebParts 5.1 Configuration Editor tool

      • (Req 3818) The Configuration Editor Tool contains new functionality to mass index discussion lists. This is useful in case of a Notes migration scenario where you migrated multiple discussion lists and you need to index those lists after the migration is done.
      • (CR 73589) The QuestSoftware section editor contains 3 new parameters: Max Rollup Depth, Max Rollup ListCount and Max Query Row Count. These three parameters can be used to restrict how deep the rollup operation should go, how many lists should be included in the rollup operation and the maximum number of rows should be returned during a query to the SharePoint server, respectively. Please see the help file for the Configuration Editor tool for more detail.

      All Web Parts

      • (Req 4086) We added 3 pages to the SharePoint Central Administration to manage the deployment of the web parts. These three pages enable you to select which web parts to deploy in the web application level and site collection level.
      • (Req 3832) We added HideUserGroups and ShowUserGroups attributes to the Custom Actions property in every web part that supports it. These new attributes enable you to show or hide the custom action (context menu item and toolbar button) visibility based on the group membership of the current user.
      • (Req 4004) We upgraded some of our Telerik controls to version Q2 2009. This upgrade affects the qCalendarView, qDiscussionView and qListForm web parts. Please note that the skin files in version Q2 2009 have a new format which is not backward compatible with the Q2 2008 skins. Please note that some of the web parts such as qListView still use Q2 2007 SP1 version and therefore are not affected by this upgrade. Please read the note at the beginning of this release notes regarding this upgrade for more details.
      • (CR 70471) We added new custom action type called ReturnToMasterChart. This custom action can be used to return to the master chart page based on the MCID HTTP parameter.
      • (CR 68292) You can use “.” (single dot) as the List Name property in the qListForm or the ListName attribute in the Viewed Lists property of qListView, qCalendarView, qChartView and qDiscussionView when you place those web parts in AllItems.apsx, NewForm.aspx, EditForm.aspx, DisplForm.aspx or Upload.aspx. The “.” will be interpreted as the name of the list that owns the page. This capability increases the usability factor of your list template because you don’t have to change the name of the list when you instantiate the list template using a different name.

      qListForm

      • (Req 4013) The ability to call a custom action code to initialize one or more fields in the form.
      • (Req 3821) The ability to define conditional behavior of the form components (field, group of fields and tab) using the new Form Component Behavior property. There are four types of conditional behavior that you can define: HideWhen, ShowWhen, EnabledWhen and DisabledWhen. For example, you can define the behavior to show the Resolved By and Resolved Date fields when the Status field is changed to Resolved.
      • (Req 2768) The rich text editor contains the ability to insert an image into the editor. If the image is in your local drive, the Insert Image dialog box will enable you to upload the image as an attachment to the list item.
      • (Req 4012) The qListForm has a new Form Type called CreateDocument. This new Form Type enables you to create a new document based on the template in the content type or external list and to fill in the metadata for the newly created document at the same time.
      • (Req 3202) We added HideUserGroups and ShowUserGroups attributes to the Display Fields property to enable hiding or showing certain fields based on the group membership of the current user.
      • (CR 70829) The qListForm has a new property called Check Overwrite Existing File CheckBox. This property determine the default value of the ‘Overwrite Existing File’ checkbox in the upload document form. This checkbox is only available when you set the Form Type to UploadDocument.

      • (CR 68435) The Field element in the Display Fields property supports a new attribute called HideSelectAndUnselectAll. This attribute allows you to hide the Select All and Unselect All links in the multi choice field to be hidden.

      CR74113 The qListView shows System.Data.DataRowView in the Edit field when it points to a list that is not a document library.

      CR74145 The qItemDisplay cannot be connected to the qListView using “Send Row To” and “Get Filter From”

      CR73971 The qListForm does not validate the required multi value lookup field during save.

      CR72369 The qListForm does not display the People and Group fields according to the field setting when the People and Group field is auto filled. The People and Group field is always displayed by the user name eventhough the field is set to be displayed with another field, e.g.: Phone Number.

      CR72531 The qListForm will use the ID of the looked up item instead of the text when you refer to a lookup field in the CalculatedFormat field.

      CR72654 The qCalendarView does not show the last day of the appointment if the end date is a DateTime field with DateOnly format.

      CR72969 The CAML Filter for Folders property does not support dynamic value, e.g.: value taken from HTTP parameter.

      CR71451 The alert email only sends partial information about the list item to the user

      CR70865 The CAML filter editor should use the output field type instead of Calculated when constructing CAML filter for Calculated field.

      CR71489 The qChartView does not copy the HTTP parameter of the current URL into the drill down chart URL when the user clicks the chart to drill down. This causes problem when drilling down more than 1 level.

      CR71723 The qListForm auto fill the field with ID1;#Value1;#ID2;#Value2 if the source field is a multi value lookup field. The value should be presented as Value1;Value2 instead.

CR70114 The qChartView and qSIChartView displays 0 if a certain data point in the chart does not have any data in the list or in the external system. In case of no data, the qChartView and qSIChartView should not display any data plot at all for that particular data point. CR70214 The qChartView crashes when the anchorSides attribute is defined in the Chart Attributes property.
