Prev Next

Date of Release: 5 December 2025

New Features

  • New sysConfig option enable_export_xml_headers
    • Enables / disables writing out XML headers to content export streams (default is true)

Fixes and Improvements

  • sysConfig options enable_xml_streaming and enable_sisl_streaming are now removed.
    • These more performant streaming implementations (related to content export and content import processes) are now always enabled.
  • Updates to config.xml (example policy file), gwConfigurationManagement.xsd and gwEditorExport.xsd.
  • Fixed issue which was causing content export streams to fail validation against gwEditorExport.xsd.
  • Fixed issue in PDF where a non-conforming file instance did not surface the appropriate error message.
  • Fixed issue in PPTX where certain processed files contained invalid XML elements.
  • Numerous performance and stability improvements introduced across the Embedded Engine core libraries.

Defects and Limitations

  • 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
