    Fixes and Improvements

    • Fixed issue that led to an exception being thrown where an invalid file path was passed to GW2RegisterAnalysisFile.
    • Fixed issue where an 'unable to determine file type' message was returned instead of 'process mode 4 or 5 is not supported' when attempting to export an archive using the GWCLI ini file (process mode 4).
    • Further improvements to release memory back to OS after each session within a process.
    • Fixed issue that led to a rendering error 'namespace prefix inkscape for version on svg is not defined' affecting some reconstructed SVG files.
    • Fixed issue in GWCLI where default policy was used instead of returning an error, where an invalid path was provided via the -c argument.
    • Fixed issue that caused some PDF files to fail with the error 'Unspecifed JPX stream marker'
    • Fixed issue that caused some PDF files to fail with the error 'expected an OBJECT REFERENCE or NUMERIC type. Found malformed numeric '-...'
    • Fixed issue in PDF that led to some files with 'All Actions' content not being reconstructed.
    • Fixed issue in Word Search check version logic that led to an exception.
    • Fixed issue in the GWCLI summary report that led to missing information inside the 'AdditionalInformation' element.
    • Fixed issue in the GWCLI where files with extensions '.xml' and '.log' were not handled correctly when using the skipUnsupportedFile option.

    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.
