Glasswall Foresight temporarily removed

We have removed Glasswall Foresight from this release. We plan to bring it back in a future version of Meteor.

The Meteor installer no longer installs Foresight. When you upgrade from an earlier version, the installer removes any existing Foresight installation. The Foresight setting stays visible in Meteor but is disabled, and Meteor processes files with the Engine and Glasswall Conform as before.

Fixes

The file details panel no longer shows a Foresight warning on files that Glasswall Conform processed.

Known issues or limitations:

1. Different Archives files format not supported (Gzip, Tar).
2. Synchronization of very large folders may reduce performance.
3. New functionality limited to Windows.
4. Word 1997-2003 (.doc) files containing an embedded item will not have results for Find and Redact. Clean file will still be returned.
5. Homoglyphs will be used as a match when processing however will not show as matching in the UI in Find and Redact.
6. Redaction will only work with single byte UTF-8 Characters.
7. Find and Redact is case insensitive.
8. Lookahead and Lookbehind regex patterns will cause Find and Redact to silently fail.
9. Some PDF files that would be blocked are being regenerated.
10. Field code: comments items show as removed embedded object in the analysis report.
11. Files with a filepath longer than 255 characters long will fail to be processed. You can work around this by doing one of the following:
    • Enabling Win32 Long Paths via Group Policy (Computer Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> System -> Filesystem)
    • Adding a DWORD Registry Key called LongPathsEnabled with a value of 1 at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\FileSystem
