# Release 523 - 17 October 2023

# New features

Public, Tenant and internal documentation pages now have a "TapConnect power by Translink" logo in the header.
TapConnect is now built for the Java 17 JVM.
Sales packages can now be created with different validity settings per operator
When requesting a personalized barcode, the barcode is generated but not stored in the database
The Fare Calculation Engine Client code has been updated to match the new fce-api.yaml specification
The setting barcodeVdvEntitlementNumber is renamed to barcodeVdvEntitlementNumberOffset for clarity
Internal documentation for tenant onboarding has been improved
Gender is no longer encoded in D-Ticket barcodes.
Internal Lambdas are updated to NodeJS 16 because NodeJS 14 will no longer be supported by AWS.
Deprecated 'minutes' field is removed from the product validity since the system already defines validity in different units (minutes, hours, days, months).
The number of layers in the Aztec encoded 2D barcodes is set to 13 to improve readability for Nahbus scanners.

The logTranzaktionsZeitpunkt will be limited to be inside the validity period of VDV barcodes
Creating API tokens with an empty role set is no longer possible
Repaired some links to screenshots in the documentation
Gender is no longer encoded in the personalized VDV DTicket barcode.
"Powered by" logo was added to all documentation (internal, tenant and public)
Improved reliability when buying fixed validity tickets for the same day between 00:00 and 02:00.
Added validation which prevents issuing 1 hour fixed validity tickets without specifying a starttime.

A workaround has been added for DTicket barcodes where products with code 5000 will have barcode product id 9999
