RELEASE HISTORY

New:

• Added a fully automatic routine for updates without the need for user intervention and with status notifications on the Windows 10/11 desktop. This new routine does not perform a BOOT in the computer, unless strictly necessary, according to and commanded by the MS-Windows. In these cases, all opened applications will be restored after the boot.

• The automated updating routine does not execute while PDFBUNDLE is in use. In those cases, a notification will be sent to the user's awareness about a new version.

• Added a routine that prevents protections and restrictions in PDF/A documents as regulated by ISO-19005/3, with friendly messages and automatic processes for this compliance.

• Several libraries were updated for security reasons (CVE compliance).

Fixes:

• Fixed a failure to issue an alert message when the user changed the DEFAULT certificate.

• Fixed a generation fault related to missing signature data when the user tested a protected and signed PDF 1.4 file in the PROTECT tab without any call/test in the SIGN tab.

• Fixed a fault that, on some occasions, prevented password protection during processing recovery.

New:

• The search of files for METADATA now is case-insensitive, for whenever the METADATA file has filenames in different case..

• Minor changes on some messages and topic names..

• LiveUpdate now is not automatic to avoid an Windows undesirable BOOT..

Fixes:

• Fixed the PASSWORD checkbox disable-event, now cleaning older passwords previously informed.

• Fixed the error on writing, into "PROBLEMS.TXT," an exception due to a file having fewer pages than the total signatures configured in SETTINGS.

• Auto-Recover now refresh its listing "by session". You do not need anymore to LOAD again your settings to force this refresh.

• Fixed a problem related to the FILENAME field of METADATA XLSX/XLS files containing a formula instead raw text whenever the pathname was not informed.

• Fixed an inconstant problem related to the default extension ("None") that sometimes raised an error PATH2, blocking the execution of the bundle.

• The METADATA info button was being disabled together with the METADATA checkbox. Now it is always enabled.

• Fixed an exception whenever the METADATA file was not found according to the schema.

New:
