2022.1

Installer improvements
l Improved error capture, handling and messaging. (SHARED-40209)
l Significantly improved logging of Server Service installation. (SHARED-50796)
Korean Language Support
PlanetPress Connect 1.8 is now available in Korean, in addition to the other languages already
supported.Korean is not yet available in PlanetPress Workflow, however. (SHARED-40161)
Context Sensitive Help
Context Sensitive Help has been added to PlanetPress Connect. Selecting Help (via
button, or F1) in dialog boxes or screens will now generally take you to the Help page most
closely associated with the calling dialog box or screen. Context sensitivity will continue to be
incrementally introduced and improved hereafter. (SHARED-45766)
Database connection deadlocks resolved
We have added a timeout period to all Connect back-end database connectors, as well as
increasing the amount of database connection threads to better match the capabilities of the
hardware. This greatly reduces the chances of database deadlocks or bottlenecks when
processing jobs through either Connect directly or through Workflow. (SHARED-57240/57252)
Improved error handling of Merge Engine errors
In some rare circumstances XPCOM initializations would fail in Merge Engines. Thereafter the
Merge Engine would continue to run but would be unable to process any further requests.
Additional Merge engines would then be launched but the originals did not shut down,
eventually leading to resource shortages and subsequent job failures. This issue has been
addressed and XPCOM initialization errors in Merge Engines now cause the Merge engine to
terminate and restart cleanly. (SHARED-57270)
