AutoPrint version history


8.14     Stability update - recommended for high traffic and cloud attached environments and for VM installations
           Fixed  Minor issues fixed.  
           Changed Logging format now cast in a static structure to facilitate individual, attached after-job-processing tools.


8.12.19 New User defined event reports can be created from local history data back up to 3 months.

           Improved System error E401 (printer process start failure) is now handled as a temporary event E411.

           Up to 10 retries are initiated before a severe error state E401 and measures are being issued.

           Improved More detailed print process monitoring under challenging system configurations (option)

           Fixed Occasional print-job logging dropouts (jobs were printed but not reported, 1 in about 50 jobs)

           Improved Robustness in potentially unstable environments (remote directories, remote printers and VMs)

           Improved Installer now cares for outdated previous versions populating the Windows 'Applications' table.

8.12.18
Improved Notification e-mailer now also connects to local SMTP relays anonymously.

8.12.17
Fixed  Empty print files could block a print channel permanently. Timeout function added.
            
Fixed  Installer process for version 8.12.16 eventually failed.

8.10.1   
Added User defined pauses between file-scans to support sorted input-file processing (opt-in).
   to      
Improved Print file recognition delays on linked SMB remote or virtually attached cloud folders solved.
8.12.15
New Deep print channel live test is available during setup.

            Checks the whole process path and provides a comprehensive print process report.

            Improved Printer status monitoring can be disabled. This allows AutoPrint to continue feeding the Windows printer spooler,
            while the physical printer is halted for user interaction.
            New Print channels accept ZIP files as input. The entire contents are extracted and printed one after the other.
            New Print jobs can be auto-routed to a defined backup print channel in case of a printer failure          
            New Text files can be directly send as raw data to special printers, like Zebra ZPL-code label printers
            Improved Blocking issues in critical networks resolved. Especially while processing incomplete print-files and files with limited
            access properties, like read-only flagged files, the affected print channel was likely to enter a frozen state

            Improved The setup- and operating database can be moved from the Windows default folder to any user-defined location
            New Files in synchronized cloud attached folders are now recognized
            Improved Print channel stability when directly feeding input files from slow web or cloud services or through web browsers
            has been significantly improved   Recommended update!

            New Enhanced preview / print page setup window for more intuitive scaling work with higher precision

            New Continuous system memory load balancing for improved OS stability under high concurrent printing loads

            New Static objects like masks, watermarks or frames can now be freely positioned and scaled, opacity added

            New Replaced graphic processing kernel including filters for excellent scaling quality

            New PDF-processing engine replaced to maintain current and future standard compatibility

            New Sleeping print channels can be activated for single jobs by command line parameter

            Removed PDF 'Direct print' option, all PDF pages are now rendered into memory
            Changed Free License pattern now limited to 25 print-jobs per day rather than per application start
