File Printing. Extended Functionality to Handle Multiple Outputs for Each Item

Expanded File printing support:

  • The output type is now included in the filename, e.g. a label "P7.prn" will now be called "P7 Label.prn".
  • An index "(1), (2), (3)" will be added to the filename, if a name clash is detected during the print. For example, if two files of the same type are printed and the first filename is called "P7 CustomLabel1.prn", the second will be named "P7 CustomLabel1 (1).prn".

Also, refer to the Possible Breaking Changes section of these release notes.

Diagnostics. Reduced Memory Usage when Listing Log Files

  • Reduced memory usage when listing diagnostics log files available to download.
  • The "Clear All" button within the Diagnostics screen now removes all generated log files.

Authentication Modes. Improved SAML Certificate Handling

Improved handling of the service provider certificate to allow for more compatibility when signing SAML assertions and messages. The product will now handle SHA-256 certificates from other providers and not just those from provider type 24 (Microsoft Enhanced RSA and AES Cryptographic Provider).

End of Day. Improved Auto Start

Improved error messages for the EndOfDayGet transaction in relation to the "AutoStart" flag to return more accurate and user-friendly content. As such, the AutoStart now generates two types of error messages: Shipping Key error and Identifier error.

The Shipping Key error is returned if multiple shipping keys are detected in the Manifest List Response, and no specific key has been provided in the Request.

The Identifier error is returned if multiple Manifests are detected in the Manifest List Response and no specific Identifier has been provided in the Request.

Security. Added Ability to Use Product Error Pages

Changes have been made to security-related items:

  • Added a new setting, Disable Standard Error Pages, to the Server Configuration Utility (defaults to False). When set to True, the default platform error pages are replaced with a product error page. The page provides limited information on the issue that caused the error, so make sure the error is recorded in the Windows Event Viewer on the server.
  • All runtime pages (pages which contain the markup for the templates and Login pages) are no longer stored by browser and proxy caches.
  • Some unused web page files have been removed.
  • The cookie secure flag is now set for all requests that come from a HTTPS request. Previously, this was only set when the "Use SSL With Projects Server" configuration setting was enabled.
  • The number of HTTP verbs is now restricted to those that are used by the application.
  • The XML Entity attack logic has been improved. This is enabled by default and cannot be disabled since the DOCTYPE attribute is not used by the application.

ATS. Improved Shipment Consolidation

The Sales Order Number has been added to the Docket Number grouping functionality.

Generation 2 Projects. Removed Dependency on ProjectID for Project Group URLs

The ProjectID is no longer mandatory for Generation 2 group URLs. If missing, the application will now select the first project in the group for further logic.

Authentication Modes. Resolved Login Issues with Windows Authentication

Resolved an error returned when logging in using Windows authentication.

FedEx Server. Removed Total Duty Value Override

The Total Duty Override field is no longer passed to FedEx Server for any international transaction, as it has been superseded by new FedEx fields which are now printed on the documents instead.

FedEx Web Services Consolidated. Amended Behavior

Amended the way the ImporterOfRecord and ReturnTo address blocks for Consolidated shipments are set in the Connector xml so they get populated correctly whether the nodes exist or not.
