FileVista v9.0.0

Version 9.0.0 - July 22, 2024

• Changed: License keys are changed so please go to https://www.gleamtech.com/upgrade and acquire a new license
  key if you want to use this version (or higher). If your one year maintenance has not ended, you will receive a
  new free license key on the same page.

• Improved: Document Viewer:

  • Added:: New redesigned Document Viewer with new modern UI and new features.
    We now based our Document Viewer on the best PDF viewer "pdfjs".

    pdfjs is a great open-source project which is frequently updated and
    new features are being added to, however looks-wise it's ugly, or
    maybe let's say it looks outdated. How about getting the latest
    PDF features and fixes from pdfjs but having a slick look on the presentation side?

    Our pdf viewer is unobtrusive, we don't directly change code of pdfjs,
    we just include pdfjs in an iframe and at runtime override HTML, JS and CSS
    to offer a slick modern look and better ui structure and usability and new features.
    This way we can always update pdfjs to the latest version easily and
    get all bug fixes and improvements.

    Other pdf viewers based on pdfjs usually don't update the default look,
    and the ones that does usually miss functionality due to separating
    into components but partially implementing them or offer a bad/partial API.

  • Added: Document Viewer now supports 3 built-in themes: "slate", "classic-light", "classic-dark".
    When two values separated by comma is set, the second value will be the dark theme.
    Dark theme is used when a user indicates their preference through an operating system setting (e.g. light or dark mode) or a user agent setting.
    When single value is provided, dark theme is disabled, i.e. the only provided theme will be used always even when user prefers dark mode.
    Note that you can emulate prefers-color-scheme via browser's F12 dev tools to test dark mode which is normally activated according to user's OS preferences.

  • Improved: Mobile viewer is removed, instead same viewer will use large UI sizing for mobile devices.
    DocumentViewer.MobileMode property now specifies on which mobile device type to use large UI sizing.
    Note that device features are not detected, instead browser's viewport size is used to decide the UI sizing.
    So if you manually resize the browser window (or emulate a device via browser's F12 dev tools),
    phone or tablet size can be triggered.

  • Added: Document Viewer now supports 111 language files which are bundled with pdfjs project.
    However for some few custom text which are not inside those language files,
    DocumentViewer.Translations property is used to override.

  • Improved: As our new Document Viewer is PDF based, we only need one conversion step from now on,
    i.e. we no longer need the second step PDF -> XPZ, we will not need XPZ format and we will display PDF format directly.
    This will improve the stability and performance of Document Viewer beause some reported errors
    mostly occured when converting specific documents to XPZ format in second step.
    Converting to PDF in first step was usually stable.
    This will solve most of the weird native DLL crashes.
    In later versions, we will also try to ditch native DLL and go full managed for conversion to PDF.
    DocumentCache will trim unused .xpz files over time so you don't need to remove them manually.

  • Changed: For supporting new modern UI, browser requirements are changed.
    Browsers released in the last 2 years are okay, e.g. Chrome 98+, Safari 16.4+
    Legacy browsers like IE are no longer supported.

• Fixed: Scrollbars appearing in MessageBox when device pixel ratio is different than 1 e.g. when windows display scale is 125 percent.

• Improved: Updated installer.

FileVista v8.9.21

Version 8.9.21 - May 3, 2024

• Improved: Document Viewer:
  • Fixed: DocumentViewer.MobileMode will be treated correctly. When OnAny (default value) mobile mode will be active both on phone and tablet.
    In addition to UA parsing in previous version, feature and screen size detection will be taken into effect to correctly determine
    it's a phone or tablet (even in desktop browser's emulation mode).

FileVista v8.9.20

Version 8.9.20 - April 18, 2024

• Improved: Document Viewer:

  • Fixed: The following error in console on mobile which prevented loading of the document viewer:
    Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'top')
    The error was observed with Chrome on Android and emulated mobile views in browser's developer tools.
  • Improved: Mobile device detection to better detect new browsers.
  • Improved: Updated jquery to latest 3.7.1.
    Disabled unnecessary console message "JQMIGRATE: Migrate is installed, version 3.4.1"

• Improved: Updated embedded database engine to improve stability and performance.

FileVista v8.9.16

Version 8.9.16 - August 27, 2023

• Improved: Document Viewer:

  • Fixed: In DocumentViewer, remove bottom right grip icon as it overlays over scroll bar bottom arrow.

FileVista v8.9.15

Version 8.9.15 - April 24, 2023

• Changed: Compiling source code package now requires Visual Studio 2019 (16.8 update which comes with C# 9.0) (16.0.30709.132) as minimum.
  Requirement for consuming compiled DLLs is NOT changed (VS 2015+).

• Improved: Stability of AssemblyResolver.
  Ensured old log files are cleared, e.g. AssemblyResolver-xx.log and GleamTech-xx.log files.

FileVista v8.9.12

Version 8.9.12 - April 16, 2023

• Improved: Document Viewer:
  • Added: Cad formats (.dwg, .dxf, .stl) are now supported with our .netstandard2.0 DLL which means
    it can be used with .NET Core 2.0+ and .NET 5.0+ projects.

FileUltimate v8.9.11

Version 8.9.11 - April 11, 2023

• Improved: Document Viewer:
  • Fixed: DICOM format (.dcm) with JPEG compression did not work.

FileVista v8.9.10

Version 8.9.10 - April 7, 2023

• Fixed: In some cases, root folder quota was not respected, and chunks continued to be uploaded.
  A file that exceeds quota, will be rejected as expected.

• Improved: Document Viewer:

  • Fixed: Support for DICOM format (.dcm) was broken. Most files failed with "Index was out of bounds of array" error.
    We also added some features, i.e when converting DICOM files, we also render important DICOM tags on top-left and top-right
    corners of the image.
    Tags displayed on top-left corner: InstitutionName, StudyID, StudyDate, StudyTime, StudyDescription, Modality
    Tags displayed on top-right corner: PatientName, PatientID, PatientBirthDate, PatientSex
  • Fixed: DocumentFormat.Dib was mistakenly disabled/commented out so "object null reference error" was raised.
  • Fixed: With .NET Framework projects, AzureBlobFileSystem stalled (waited indefinitely) when creating empty files.
    This also caused DocumentCache to stall, as it tries to create empty .sourceName files.

FileVista v8.9.8

Version 8.9.8 - April 2, 2023

• Improved: Updated stability of GleamTech.FileUltimate, GleamTech.DocumentUltimate, GleamTech.ImageUltimate, GleamTech.VideoUltimate and GleamTech.Common.

• Improved: Document Viewer:

  • Updated jquery to latest 3.6.4 and jquery-ui to latest 1.13.2 for document viewer and ensured CSS is scoped.
  • Some type changes will trigger a cache migration as in v8.9.5 so be patient when you first open a document:
    With this version, DocumentCache will migrate this change automatically for you, it will scan the cache folder,
    update all .json cache info files, regenerate cache keys (due to json serialization change) and rename cache files to match the new cache keys.
    This migration will be run on first access to the cache, it can take few seconds to complete (may take longer for cloud folders).
    You can check the details and results of the migration in CacheMigrate.log in cache folder.

FileVista v8.9.6

Version 8.9.6 - March 7, 2023

• Fixed: Video thumbnails failed on older supported OS, i.e. Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 and Windows 7 SP1.

• Fixed: FileCache did not append to the existing log files (CacheTrim and CacheMigrate) correctly.
