    • Fixed an issue where it was not possible to open an svg file after processing with the Embedded Engine.
    • Fixed a segfault when processing BMP files on Arm64.
    • Fixed an issue when processing a docx file in export mode fails with the error message "Failure occurred while processing OPC nodes".
    • Fixed an issue in Word Search where all search rules were using regex mode despite being configured as text.

    Defects and Limitations

    • Archive Manager and Word Search Java wrapper compatibility is currently limited to JRE8.

    • Word Search analysis XML no longer reports structural content or changes.
    • Processing times may be impacted by changes made to licensing functionality.

    • Word Search
      • 'text' or 'regex' can not be the same for 'require' or 'allow'/'disallow' as this will regenerate the file and ignore the 'disallow' or 'require' setting
      • | symbol at the start or end of 'require' can potentially cause the Engine to hang
