Fixes and Improvements

• Fixed issue in bmp that led to some text files being wrongly identified as bmp files during file determination.
• Fixed issue in pdf where the optional content groups "Intent" field was only allowing array values. Now allows name or array values as per ISO 32000-2 8.11.2.1.
• Fixed issue in Word Search that led to some non-conforming files being written out unprocessed.
• Fixed issue in pdf where some files failed with the error "FAILURE_LOG_SYN_TRAILER_2555318497 Unexpected additional Trailer key 'Info' found".
• Updates to gwConfigurationManagement.xsd

Defects and Limitations

• The JavaScript wrapper is currently excluded from the release package. This will be reintroduced in a subsequent release.
• Archive Manager and Word Search Java wrapper compatibility is currently limited to JRE8.
• PDFs generated via the MS Outlook Adobe plugin are not supported.
• Word Search analysis XML no longer reports structural content or changes.
• Processing times may be impacted by changes made to licensing functionality.
• Processing files using multiple threads is not supported. Spawning multiple processes is advised in order to facilitate parallel processing.
