Job Creation Presets: External Sorting change
introduced in 2018.2
Versions prior to 2018.2 did not correctly save the line end characters for external sort
configurations in Job Creation Presets, which meant the job could not be externally sorted. This
issue has been fixed in version 2018.2. However, Job Creation Presets created with an earlier
version may still have the wrong line end character for external sorting. To fix this, open the Job
Creation Preset in the new version, reset the line end setting in the sorting options and then
save the preset.
Engine Preferences: Backward Compatibility Issues
introduced in 2018.2
l Prior to version 2018.2 Connect allowed a mixture of internal and external engines. As of
PlanetPress Connect 2018.2 this is no longer allowed.
When upgrading to PlanetPress Connect 2018.2 from such installations, the pre-existing
settings will not only no longer apply, but can cause scheduling preference conflicts for
the Merge and Weaver engines.
To fix this, any pre-existing Connect installation that was running a mixture of internal and
external Merge and Weaver Engines must first restore their scheduling preferences to the
default values. This can be done by clicking on the Restore Defaults button in the
Scheduling pages of the Server Preference or the Designer Preference dialogs.
l The Designer's scheduling settings are only updated correctly for the user actually
performing the update.
Business Graphics: Backward Compatibility Issues
introduced in 2018.1
As a consequence of changes in both the user interface and the underlying technology,
Business Graphics made with a version prior to PlanetPress Connect 2018.1 may not display
correctly when opened in version 2020.1.
The currently known backward compatibility issues are listed here:
