Lasernet Release Version 9.10

Release date: 6^th November 2020

New Features and Fixes

The purpose of this section is to outline the new features and fixes of the components of Lasernet Version 9.10.

Lasernet Server

• Improved the deployment method of objects to the server, to avoid lock issues caused by third-party tools such as Anti-Virus, backup tools and Windows Indexing Services.
• Added retry logic in the connection to Azure SQL in case of transient faults, caused by the Azure infrastructure having the ability to dynamically reconfigure servers when heavy workloads arose in the SQL Database service, preventing the Lasernet service to temporary connect.

Lasernet Developer

• Added support for loading certificates from the binary JobInfo.
• Added support for Windows environment variables in module parameters (similar to JobInfo substitution) by adding a % sign as prefix/suffix before and after the environment variable name.
• Added support for multiple selection of grab files in the Revert dialog box.
• Added support for auto-selected grab files in the Commit dialog box, if they are added or modified and attached to a form selected for commitment.
• Any node, in the Commit/Revert dialog having added or modified objects, are now extracted by default.
• Fixed minor issues for the ordering of multiple item line names configured in the OCR Engine module.

Lasernet OCR Editor

• Some Danish characters looked blurry after the introduction for rendering of Asian characters. This is now fixed.
