Three projects that have been around for a long time finally make it into the main coreBOS branch: Module Builder, Mass Actions, and Pivot View. As if that weren't enough we get the typical set of enhancements and bug fixes. A lot of security issues too thanks to Huntr! Update and enjoy.

• Module Builder I don't know what I am more impressed about with this project. It is something I never planned on having, it is a pure community-driven initiative, it has a rich set of options with a nice (fresh) user interface and it covers almost all the things you can do when creating a new module. I have been asked many times about this one and was always resistant about having it but here it is at last: a coreBOS extension that permits you to create new modules. Thank you to everyone who participated, in special to Denald for starting (and finishing) the project.
• Pivot view Lorida, who is moving to new pastures this month, implements a new business map and module view that permits us to aggregate field values in a multi-dimensional table view. You can read the details in the wiki and expect some more information in the blog and video tutorials in the future. As for Lorida, coreBOS will always be your home and I would enjoy immensely that you stick around as much as you can, your knowledge, professionalism, and personality are a treasure for all those who have had the pleasure to work with you. I wish you the best.
• Mass Actions Timothy fixed the workflow mass action section some months ago but I couldn't get around to validating the code mostly because I wanted to redesign the queue system. I finally decided to review and accept the code as it was and not block it any longer. It turned out to be something I should have done much sooner as the code is great, even the queue part. We still have to work on the queue system and create some user-friendly design for this functionality, but now we can launch mass actions from the workflow system! Thank you Timothy.
• Global Search Business Question This new type of business question accepts a Type Properties value to launch a global search in the application and return the set of IDs that are found. Combined with the Mass Actions functionality this question will find all the records that fulfill a search (even a tag search) and execute some action on each one (!). The Property accepts this format:

{
"query": "find this",
"searchin": "Assets,Accounts",
"user":1,
"account":74,
"contact":1084
}
