​
Enhanced Password Management (Non-LDAP)

  • Users are limited to one active password reset link, which expires after 24 hours
  • Users cannot reuse any of their last 4 passwords
  • Passwords that contain email address components are rejected
  • 6 consecutive failed login attempts trigger a 24-hour account lockout — password reset is still available during the lockout period
  • Secure LDAP is now supported for Azure and AWS environments; enabled via IsLdapSecure: true in appsettings.json; anonymous binding toggle is available

​
Program-Level Email Branding

  • Email branding is now configurable at the program level; if unconfigured, the system defaults to Giift’s standard branding
  • Email previews display the current branding
  • Bulk email processing now uses a single processing pod instead of three, streamlining operations while maintaining reliability

​
On-Demand Welcome Email API

  • A new API triggers welcome emails on demand, with Program_id and Enrollment_date as parameters

​
Rule Engine

​
Expiry Warnings on Rule Groups

  • Rule groups with expired validity date ranges now display a warning in the rule group listing view, the condition editor, and the rule management section
  • Reduces the risk of rules being triggered accidentally after their validity period ends

​
Audit & Access

  • Audit Trail search can now be filtered by IP address
  • Program-specific user roles: Users can hold different permissions across multiple programs

​
V4 to V7 Migration

  • Pre-migration reports are archived; only liability reports are created post-migration
  • Database migration: ~19GB disk space, ~20 minutes for a 6M-member, 11M-transaction database
  • Only global member attributes migrate; local attributes require advance coordination with the Giift team
  • Program creation workflow condensed to 3 steps: Program Details, User Details, Point Definitions
