Paperless-ngx 2.16.0 → 2.17.0

Mariadb users may experience a database migration problem in 2.16.0–2.16.1 and should skip this version and upgrade directly to at least v2.16.2

Django 5.2 removed support for PostgreSQL 13 and thus support will be removed in a future Paperless-ngx version. Users may want to upgrade now, see https://docs.paperless-ngx.com/administration/#database-upgrades

• Fix: restore expected pre-2.16 scheduled workflow offset behavior @shamoon (#10218)

Warning

In versions v2.16.0–v2.16.3, the interpretation of offset days for scheduled workflows was inverted. This has now been corrected to restore the intuitive, pre-v2.16 behavior:

• Positive offsets now trigger workflows after the date
• Negative offsets trigger workflows before the date

If you configured scheduled workflows in v2.16.x with inverted offsets (or adjusted a trigger created in 2.15.x), you must now adjust the offset sign to match this corrected logic.

If you did not alter your workflow triggers after upgrading from v2.15, no changes are required.

We apologize for the confusion — this fix restores consistency and better matches user expectations.
