xBit v4.1.7 Release Notes

August 06, 2026

🚀 New Feature

Enhanced Search and Filter Suggestions

  • Expanded search functionality in the Case Manager and Evidence Manager to match option-based field values, including Evidence Status and other selectable fields. Search suggestions have also been improved, making it easier to quickly apply filters directly from the search box.

🐛 Bug Fixes

Improved Duplicate Field Name Validation

  • Enhanced Form Builder validation to prevent creating custom fields with names that already exist, even if the existing field is not currently added to the form.

Database Upgrade

  • Upgraded the MySQL database engine to version 8.4 to improve performance, security, and long term platform support.

Stats Explorer

  • Fixed an issue where the Case Status grouping in Stats Explorer did not correctly display evidence totals. Evidence counts are now accurately grouped by the status of their associated cases.

Prevent Disabling the Last Administrator

  • Added a safeguard that prevents the last active administrator account from being disabled, ensuring there is always at least one administrator with access to the system.

Evidence Manager

  • Improved the performance of the Evidence Manager when clearing filters, reducing the likelihood of timeouts and ensuring the application remains responsive during large evidence listings.

Evidence Status Improvements

  • Resolved several issues with the Evidence Status field, including display in the Evidence Manager, filtering, global search, and preserving the configured field type.

Case Status Editor Fix

  • Fixed an issue that prevented users from creating a new case status after opening an existing status for editing.

Improved Evidence Review Notifications

  • Updated the Evidence Review workflow to prevent unnecessary email notifications when assigning default reviewers to existing evidence. Review request notifications continue to be sent for new review requests and newly created evidence, while avoiding large volumes of unintended emails during administrative configuration changes.

User Field Display Improvement

  • Fixed an issue where user-type field filters displayed users' display names instead of email addresses, improving readability throughout the application.

Stats Explorer Label Formatting Fix

  • Fixed an issue where certain Expense Subtype labels containing storage unit abbreviations (such as GB and TB) were incorrectly reformatted in Stats Explorer. Labels are now displayed exactly as configured in List Manager.

Table View Builder Fix

  • Fixed an issue that prevented new columns and fields from being added to Table View Builder layouts.

Triaged By Display Fix

  • Fixed an issue where the Triaged By field could be configured in the Evidence Manager Table View but was not displayed correctly.

🌈 UI Changes

  • Improved the Evidence Carousel on the Case Manager by removing unnecessary scrolling and adding helpful tooltips for evidence actions.
  • Modified language for unassigned date tooltip in Evidence Manager.
