DAM-3971	Contents of ZipContentDirectory will now be unzipped to UploadDirectory. This has been backported to 5.1.1.
DAM-3971	When using combo or tree metadata a second check is now made. So if MatchStyle=TextValue is used and no match is found a check with MatchStyle=OptionValue is done and viceversa. This has been backported to 5.1.1.
DAM-3872	At the end of an import a summary of all errors related to assets are written to a file in the log directory. Errors related to configuration are still written to the default log. This has been backported to 5.1.1.
DAM-3872	Combo- and treevalues longer than 255 characters are rejected in the Importer. Previously they were rejected by API. This particular error does not halt execution so all metadata deemed ok is set. This has been backported to 5.1.1.
DAM-3900	Fixed a bug where empty input for a date field would cause an exception. This has been backported to 5.1.1.
DAM-3620	Introduced new config 'MatchBatchSize' to be able to control size of requests for 'MatchSearchName'. This is to support scenarios where the customer needs to match against a data type with long values. This has been backported to 5.1.1.

There was only ever release a '5.1.0' version of Importer - the changes mentioned in this section are in the 5.1.0 release of the Importer.

These config options were removed:

DAM-3336	Change it to use new upload endpoint
DAM-3393	Make importer work with values as well as text
DAM-3424	Fix: Filename in sheet is matched case sensitive

As version 1.0.1 so features described in 1.0.2 are not in this version.


DAM-3452	Ignore leading and trailing whitespaces when matching

	Description

	Description
DAM-2866	Fixed an issue where a match on asset ID - or any other integer type - would fail.
DAM-2867	Fixed an issue where FileNameColumn and MatchTokenColumn would cause these columns to be ignored even though the configs were not in effect for the import.
DAM-2868	Fixed an issue where a bit value in a Excel sheet would fail if it was formatted as a number column (1/0).
DAM-2906	Fixed an issue where only 9999 combovalues would be loaded. This would cause the Importer to fail trying to create combovalues which already existed.
DAM-2907	Reintroduces file postprocessing after each file is uploaded. This is to prevent files from being reingested upon import restart when something goes wrong before an Excel sheet is fully processed. This is only relevant in a upload + Excel metadata import.
DAM-2909	Fixed an issue where an empty xml tag for an (Edit)MultiComboValue would cause the Importer to send a request to create an empty combovalue which would fail in DAM.

Initial release which was a part of DAM 5.0.0 release.
