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.
