⚙️ Customization and Configuration
New Properties
arender.server.alfresco.disable.renditions(default:false) — CMIS / Alfresco connector (ARender Classic HMI). When set totrue, ARender never consumes Alfresco-side PDF renditions (cm:pdf) and always renders documents from their native content, even when a rendition already exists in the repository.registry.internal.use-locale-for-ids(default:false) andregistry.internal.use-time-zone-for-ids(default:false) — internal registry provider (Rendition Engine). Whentrue, the request locale / time zone is appended to the generatedDocumentId, producing one document instance per locale or time zone. The default (false) matches the legacyDefaultURLParserbehavior.
info
Standalone annotation storage: the internal registry provider (registry.default-provider=internal) now provides a file-system fallback for annotation create/read/update/delete when no ECM provider (FileNet, Alfresco, …) is configured. The /documents/{id}/annotations endpoints behave the same in standalone mode as with an ECM provider.

Technical Changes and Security
- Spring Boot
4.0.5→4.0.7 - Additional dependency hardening: Tomcat Embed updated to
11.0.21and the Docker FFmpeg upgraded to8.1.1. - common-mime
3.0.0→3.1.0. - Spring Security: In version 2026.2.0, the automatically added continue URL parameter has been removed from authentication-related redirects.
This parameter was introduced by newer versions of Spring Security (used with Spring Boot 4.x) but was not present in previous releases based on Spring Boot 2.7.x.
The parameter has been removed to maintain backward compatibility and avoid integration issues for applications that enforce allowlists of accepted URL query parameters.
Impact: If your integration was updated to explicitly allow the continue parameter, no further changes are required. Otherwise, authentication redirects will now behave as they did in previous releases.
Behavior Changes
- Text-to-PDF conversion of plain text files (
AR-18401). The conversion of plain text (.txt) files to PDF has been improved so that the original layout is preserved: long lines now wrap onto the following line instead of being cut off at the right margin, a Form Feed character (0x0C) starts a new page, and horizontal tabs are expanded to the next tab stop so tabular content keeps its columns.
Impact: Previously, any content extending beyond the printable width was silently truncated and lost. That content is now retained and wrapped, so the same text file may render across more lines — and more pages — than in earlier releases. Documents that relied on the old truncated output (for example page counts, line positions in downstream processing or annotations) may therefore look different after the upgrade.
