⚙️ Customization and Configuration​

Changed and Deprecated Properties​

No properties were changed or deprecated in this release.

New Properties​

  • tools.wkhtmltopdf.external.resource.urls.cleared (default: false): When set to true, external resource URLs (e.g. file:// references or external image links) are stripped from the source HTML before it is handed off to wkhtmltopdf. This prevents EML/HTML conversions from hanging when wkhtmltopdf attempts to fetch unreachable external resources from restricted network environments. Set in the application.properties of the TaskConversion module.

    info

    When enabled, images that depend on external URLs are not rendered in the converted document; base64-embedded images and other inline resources are unaffected.

Deleted Properties​

No properties were deleted in this release.

Technical Changes and Security​

  • Dependencies upgraded: Improvements to ARender security have been made by upgrading library versions. This proactive approach ensures better protection against vulnerabilities.

💻 API​

The notification payload delivered to JavaScript handlers registered via registerFollowLinkHandler now includes LEFT_POSITION and TOP_POSITION for cross-document (GoToR) hyperlinks whose target is an XYZ destination, in addition to the PAGE_TARGET field that was previously the only positional information available. The behaviour for internal GoTo hyperlinks is unchanged.

Action required for integrators: if your registerFollowLinkHandler implementation parses the destination string and assumes that LEFT_POSITION/TOP_POSITION are absent for GoToR actions, update your handler to accept and use these new fields. The returned coordinates are raw PDF coordinates (origin at the bottom-left of the page); rotation correction must be applied client-side if your target documents have rotated pages. See Document JavaScript API.
