2. Added a new filter property for the process execution queue "Display process instances awaiting execution by timer". If the option is enabled, then process instances awaiting execution by timer will be displayed in lists.

Technical optimization

1. Implemented encryption of configuration file sections.

   The encryption provider and sections are determined by the settings in Settings.config:

   # ProtectSettingsSection - enable/disable encryption

   # ProtectSettingsSection\{Section Name} - specify the section for encryption

   # ProtectSectionProvider - specify the name of the encryption provider

   In addition, you can use the encryption provider described in the configuration file. 

   To use encryption in a farm environment, you should import the private key container to all the farm machines.

2. MaxTimeValue and MinTimeValue properties were added to DateTimeSettings settings, which limit the ability to choose the time when editing a DateTime property. If the minimum time value (MinTimeValue) is higher than the maximum value (MaxTimeValue), then the time is limited only by the minimum value (MinTimeValue).
3. Changes in message archiving mechanism.

   Before. Old messages used to be archived once a week and for all users. Due to the number messages that had to be archived, this procedure took a very long time.

   Now. Messages are archived continuously and for one user at a time.

4. Changed the way of loading document folder trees. Now the trees are calculated using the relationship table. The relationship table is generated automatically when saving workflow objects in the system. When updating the system, a folder relationship table is created and filled out. This may take some time, depending on the number of workflow objects..
