Fixes and Improvements
- Fixed issue in gif affecting some analysis report content items where
gw:TotalSizeInBytes
was reported incorrectly. - Further performance optimisations improving processing times and memory usage where running content export/import.
- Updates to the Java Wrapper to include the GW2RetStatusErrorMsg API.
- Fixed issue causing processing failures where longer policy files could not be loaded.
- Updates to gwConfigurationManagement.xsd and example config.xml policy file.
- Updates to the Java wrapper, adding the libjsg library as a direct dependency. This will better enable signal chaining without specifying LD_PRELOAD when setting up the environment. See Installation - Signal Chaining When Using Java for further details.
Defects and Limitations
- The Alpine library is currently excluded from the release package and will be reintroduced in a future release.
- The JavaScript wrapper is currently excluded from the release package and will be reintroduced in a future release.
- The 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.
- Word Search functionality is provided as Beta:
- 'text' or 'regex' cannot 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 where using regex search policies
