AutoPrint version history


8.12.11 New Deep print channel live test is available during setup.

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

            Improved Computer name can be added to email reports  


8.12.10 Fixed stability issue: frozen print channel activity after rare transient inter-process communication faults.
8.12.9   Improved stability while handling rare but challenging situations after disturbed cloud folder access or

8.12.8   printer spooler flaws.

8.12.7
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.

8.12.6
New Print channels now accept ZIP files as input. The entire contents are extracted and printed one after the other.

8.12.5
New Print jobs can be auto-routed to a defined backup print channel in case of a printer failure          
          
New TXT files can be directly send as raw data to special printers, like Zebra ZPL-code label printers
          
Improved Possible stability issues during interrupted spooler-to-printer transfer handled


8.12.4 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
          Fixed  Auto-orientation mechanism for plain text files is now disabled
          Fixed  User defined printer names can now  contain leading zeroes

8.12.3 New Files in synchronized cloud attached folders are now recognized
          Improved Minor changes in Setup - GUI


8.12.2 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!


8.12.1 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

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

          Fixed Several minor flaws in the setup flow


8.10.1 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

          Fixed Rendering issues with new type of PDF-files containing QR-code objects
          Fixed Rendering issues with bar-codes objects (black boxes)

          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

          Many minor GUI improvements

          
Important notes for updaters


8.7.1   New Regular Expression (RegEx) filter for pre-selection/exclusion of input files (option)

          New Print job file order can be set to none - FiFo - date - name (option)

          Fixed File names with leading numbers could randomly freeze a print channel

          Fixed Service install exe-path text back in quotation marks

          Minor GUI improvements, after-print work settings moved to printer settings tab

8.6.2   New Execution of an application-file/link added as possible error notification action (desktop-application mode only)

          New Static range of print-pages can be preset (print channel option for TIF/PDF multipage-documents)

          New Defined pause after each print process (print channel option)

          Fixed Encryption DLLs were not supplied through installer (email-host addressing)

8.6.1  New Redesigned main GUI for a more informative print channel monitoring

         New Comprehensive live-help system added to the setup area

         New Barcode and QR-code objects can be added to all printed pages

         File sorting function improved (was disturbed after processing error situations)

         File mask including wildcards can be added to input file folders

         Latest Windows access policy updates do no more affect AutoPrint, when operated from different user accounts
         Improved: printer/spooler error messagages are being reported more detailed

         Improved: temporary printer access issues are now being handled more relaxed, rather than burst-firing error messages (E400)

         Fixed Input files were ignored after a temporary printer access (E400) recovery

         Further improved stability in high latency and web-based environments

8.5.1  New A static input file name can be defined

         New HTML file type added to the scope of processed input file types

         Input files are being sorted by name at print channel operation start

         Operation under limited user account improved

         Different service owner accounts are better supported

         Virtual machines added to license agreement


8.4.3  Input file names containing "~" characters are optionally accepted

         Improved local database stability under high concurrent load conditions
         More relaxed error handling during network delays


8.03  Smaller setup window supports legacy server monitors

        Process logging into local file AutoPrint.Log
        Improved stability in high latency and web-based environments
        Accepting quote characters in file names

8.01  New Completely rebuild processing engine for further improvement of speed and overall stability

        New Multithreading and parallel processing kernel enables new speed dimensions on today’s multi-core CPUs.
        New Print jobs are now being started instantly on file input rather than one job after the other.

        New Each printer can be fed concurrently by multiple print-channels.

        New Each print-channel can hold individual printer settings, like number of copies, paper size, print quality or output tray selection.
               This feature is now included in all 3 license types.

        New Rebuilt setup GUI for easier and faster print-channel creation.

        New Live setup: during setup work the current print-channel processes remain active.

        New email notification option provides periodic and/or instant reporting on process summaries and eventual errors.

        Fixed No more desktop flickering on print-channels addressing different printers (application mode)

        Improved live processing monitor, for both, application mode and service mode
