    - Improved quality of printing to local printers, by supporting native PDF printing in common web browsers.
    >> Supported browsers: Chrome, Edge and Opera. Firefox and other browsers will continue to use PDF.js printing, i.e. rendering PDF pages as images.
    >> A new setting, DisableDocentricReportViewerNativePdfPrinting, has been added to the DocSystemSetting table, allowing you to disable native PDF printing system-wide if needed.
    - Report PDF Viewer (PDF.js) is upgraded to the 3.10.111 version.

    FIXES

    General:
    - The CoC extension for the SrsReportRunController.runReport and SrsReportRunPrinter.printReport methods has been replaced with a pre-event handler so that these methods are not visible in the call stack of later SSRS pipeline execution.
    When MS support finds any custom code in the error call stack, they often refuse to help our customers (even for apparent errors in the standard).
    - Removed the displayReportRunException() method from the SrsReportRunController_DC_Extension class.
    - Tracing: Fixed bug for the trace category PRINTMGMT - when this category was enabled, it changed the current Email print destination settings (caused by resolving email tokens), which in rare cases causes that generated reports (e.g. Customer account statement with multiple customers defined as criteria) are sent to the wrong recipients.
    - User-defined placeholders: Fixed the evaluation of XPath expressions containing some of the XPath functions (e.g. data-source) because an incorrect xml element (e.g. the root node of the argument representing a data source) was passed to the XPathExecutor object that is used to evaluate XPath expressions.
    - Improved diagnostics: Prevented the unhandled exception in Docentric Generator 'Invalid or unsupported culture' by throwing an error message when the dsLanguageId field in the DocDataSourceProvederParams class is set to an empty string and as such sent to Docentric Generator.
    - Improved diagnostics: Fixed displaying the message for removed invalid email addresses, although all email addresses are valid.
    - Print Management Data Entities: Support Transaction overrides for Project invoice proposal and Project contract.
    - (3.4.7.1) Fixed a bug where a combination of the Docentric AX Administrator, Docentric AX Power User and Docentric AX Template Editor security roles assigned to a user resulted in some fields in the Docentric AX parameters and Docentirc AX reports forms not being editable.
    - (3.4.7.1) Fixed a bug related to sending alert emails with Docentric. Microsoft made changes to the APIs for creating alert emails starting with the D365FO version 10.0.37, which resulted in the sending alert emails with Docentric no longer working.
    - (3.4.7.2) Fixed an issue that occurred when a report was printed via the Print archive print destination and the document type used for archiving refers to a SharePoint library for which the report metadata is configured. The PDF file was not updated with the metadata.
    - (3.4.7.2) When the maximum number of documents printed to the screen is reached, the remaining documents are printed to the SSRS File print destination. In this case, we need to redirect the printing to the Docentric File print destination when Docentric Viewer and the template are used to preview the documents. To achieve this we have extended the changeDestination() method of the PrintMgmtReportRun class.
    - (3.4.7.3) Fixed a bug related to alerts targeting a user group: alert notifications stopped being created for members of the user group configured in alert rules. The bug was caused by hotfix 3.4.7.1, which fixed an issue with alert emails not being sent with Docentric.
    - (3.4.7.3) Fixed a bug that occurred when the same print destination settings were reused when printing multiple documents in a single report run, e.g. when printing Free text invoices through "All free text invoices > Document > Print > Range".
    - (3.4.7.3) Fixed a bug that occurred when converting PDF documents with custom fonts into EMF and PDF/A formats using the Aspose.PDF library. In Docentric 3.4.7 version, PDF to EMF conversion is used behind the "Print to network printer" functionality in Docentric Viewer, while PDF to PDF/A conversion is used for PDF documents generated by SSRS Reporting Services.

    The Print destination settings form:
    - The 'Needed Permission' property for the Placeholders button in the SRSPrintDestinationSettingsForm form extension has been changed from 'Delete' to 'None' to make the button visible to all users (i.e. users with the System user role).
    - Fixed a bug when using additional email tokens. If a user uses a Delivery address purpose that does not have an email address assigned and then switches to a Delivery address purpose that does have an email address, the error message is displaying until the URL is not reloaded.
    - Fixed error messages for validating email addresses in the Cc and Bcc fields on closing the Print destination settings form.

    Docentric Designer and Generator:
    - Fixed a bug that could cause an exception in the Live Preview pane when a template or preview data contained text with specific characters.

    Emailing:
    - (3.4.7.1) Fixed a bug when printing a report via Docentric Email print destination configured to use an email template with image placeholders and generating the DDSP alongside the report execution. The bug was caused by adding the same image placeholder twice to the placeholder map.
    - (3.4.7.2) Fixed an issue with duplication of additional email attachments when DDSP is generated alongside report execution.

    System and Utilities:
    - (3.4.7.1) Fixed a bug which can occasionally happen at startup of D365FO when the system detects hostname change and runs some preventive actions including clearing encypted fields. If some X++ exception happens in this process transaction is aborted and changed hostname is not saved, so the process runs again at the next startup.

    Docentric PDF Viewer:
    - (3.4.7.2) Fixed an issue where PDF file download with special characters in filenames (e.g., #, %) defaulted to "document.pdf". The PDF is now downloaded with the original filename including special characters.
    - (3.4.7.2) Fixed a problem where download buttons for Word and Excel were disabled for filenames containing special characters such as "#" or "%".
    - (3.4.7.2) Replaced the button images for Download PDF, Word, and Excel, enhancing the visual interface.
    - (3.4.7.2) Fixed the display of Download PDF, Word, and Excel button icons to ensure proper visibility when the web browser is set to "Dark mode". Icons are now optimized for visibility and compatibility across both light and dark browser modes.
    - (3.4.7.2) Fixed an issue where the drill-through links in reports generated as PDF documents when using SSRS report designs were not working.

    Emailing – Free Edition:
    - Docentric SMTP Email Provider improvement: Introduced maximum number of sent messages using the same connection. This configuration is helpful when using a custom SMTP email provider for mass emailing such as SendGrid to avoid hitting the provider's limitations.
    - When emailing a report using Docentric, you can now programmatically remove invalid email addresses from the To, CC and BCC fields during report execution, by subscribing to a new delegate DocPrintDestSettingsEmail.removeInvalidEmailAddressesDelegate().This way, you can prevent email sending failure that would otherwise occur. Learn more >>

    - Added the 'Report template file' button to the 'Report template' form.

    DDSP:
    - Added a new data field IsCbdDs (Is CBD data source) to the GeneralData > Misc data section in DDSP. This way, when for a report both ER-based and SSRS-based templates are used, user-defined placeholders can be defined more easily.

    System and Utilities:
    - Subscription expiration notifications: Only the System Administrator and Docentric AX License Manager security roles will receive email notifications by default (the initial configuration has been changed from all roles to these two roles).
    - The pack() and unpack() methods of the SrsPrintDestinationSettings and SrsReportRunController extension classes now use the SysPackExtensions class.
    - Extended the Personalization form (FormControlPersonalization) with a new control that shows Label ID of the currently selected form control.

This might happen when the field values were encrypted using a certificate different than the certificate used for the current environment.
    Cleared table fields:
    >> Additional email account passwords.
    >> Electronic signature certificates stored in the database.
    >> PDF encryption passwords.
    >> Integration user passwords participating in SharePoint extended security.
    >> Azure storage accounts connection strings.

    FIXES

    General:
    - Fixed Docentric extension of the Print destination settings form to allow other extensions of this form to run side-by-side.
    - Fixed deadlock when storing files to Azure Blob and File Storage in parallel (occurs only in batch because of in-memory SDK client caching problem).
    - Fixed race condition issue during sending emails in multiple threads using MailKit because of the cached instances of SMTP mail client.
    - The DocTableFieldsMetadata.retrieveExtensionFieldsMetadata() method is fixed so that fields of table extensions are not skipped unless the table extension is a Docentric extension.

    - Fixed the Docentric Upgrade Manager scripts errors related to encrypted fields: Before running the upgrade scripts, the encrypted fields in Docentric tables are now validated and the invalid fields are cleared.
    - (3.4.4.1) Improved startup logic and logging when database is not synchronized, which can happen only on DevBoxes (Tier 1).
    - (3.4.4.2) Docentric report setup: Fixed reloading System templates:
    >> Fixed the 'Object reference is not set to an instance of an object' error when reloading Docentric reports and their templates for the first time.
    >> Fixed the error where the first report record was being shown on template reload, instead of the first invalid report record on first template reload from workspace.
    >> Fixed the error with positioning on the first invalid report in Docentric report setup after reloading Docentric reports and their templates for the first time.
    - (3.4.4.2) Tracing: Fixed bug for the trace category PRINTMGMT and the trace event ON_PRINTMGMT_LOAD:
    >> Fixed the 'Object reference is not set to an instance of an object' error that occurs for a Print management report when the report runs (with or without using Print management) and the Destination field in Print management setup is set to the value '<Default>'.

    >> Improved import/export of PrintJobSettings and QueryPacked container fields by following the recommendations from MS:
    >> Deleted the unnecessary string fields from the entity table:
    > PrintJobSettingsStr
    > PrintSettingsQueryPackedStr
    >> Renamed the container fields in the entity table:
    > PrintJobSettings -> PrintJobSettingsV2
    > PrintSettingsQueryPacked -> PrintSettingsQueryPackedV2
    >> Deleted the unnecessary container fields from the staging table:
    > PrintJobSettings
    > PrintSettingsQueryPacked
    >> Renamed the string fields in the staging table:
    > PrintJobSettingsStr -> PrintJobSettingsV2
    > PrintJobSettingsStrFilename -> PrintJobSettingsV2Filename
    - Docentric Print Management Settings and Docentric Print Management Settings Package Data Entity:
    >> Fixed the bug where invalid Print management override setting with an empty ID (i.e. empty Account number for Customer/Vendor) was imported, corrupting Print management settings and preventing Print management setup from opening.
    >> Fixed the bug where override-specific information (node-specific IDs, i.e. Account number for Customer/Vendor) was exported only for the legal entity from which the export is executed.

    FIXES

    General:
    - Fixed saving in Email history: From D365FO 10.0.21, Docentric SMTP email provider cannot store information on outgoing emails in Email history. The reason is a new parameter of the SysEmailHistory::insertNew() method.
    - When Email body HTML editor is used in the same session with CK Editor added by MS in D365FO 10.0.16, the "An unexpected client error occured" error message appears. This is fixed by using iframe.

    - (3.4.0.1) Emailing: Bare line feeds (LF) without the carriage return character (CR) are found in the email message body when print settings are loaded from SysLastValue. This is a MS bug but a workaround is created to replace each occurrence of LF with CRLF field in the email message body.
    - (3.4.0.2) Saving reports larger than 2MB to SharePoint didn't work after switching to CSOM SharePoint APIs. In the SharePoint picker document libraries and folders were reverse alphabetically sorted.
    - (3.4.0.2) Additional email attachments: When loading attachments from a custom record, security check of user rights to access the record and its attachment was incomplete and returns a false result in case that no record-matching menu item exists in the system.

    Docentric Designer and Generator:
    - Fixed bug: the format() XPath function didn't format date/time values properly.
    - Printing in on-premises environments: Printing reports to network printers was occasionally causing errors and even system crashes due to a print dialog invocation and multithreading issues.
    - PDF encryption is temporarily reverted from AES128 to RC128 encryption due to random decryption issues. This does not affect business processes in any way.

    - eInvoice attachment: For the Generate DS print destination, eInvoice is attached to Journal (and it shouldn't be).
    - When emailing reports using 'Open email before sending', Bcc recipients weren't added to the downloaded email message. The same applies when downloading email messages from (Batch) Email sending status, Print archive or Docentric Viewer (Preview before print).
    - Email token redirection: The redirection didn't occur when posting and printing is done without using Print management.
    - The Print destination settings form: When Print archive is selected as the target print destination, 'Print archive note' was not enabled if 'Save in print archive?' was turned off.

From this version on the current user email will be used as From for such cases.
    - Added filter per Status of outgoing emails on the Email sending status form. This grid column is bound to a display method so filtering in the grid is not possible.

    File print destination > Save to Attachments:
    - You can now set up Restriction (Internal/External). So far, reports were always attached by Docentric as Internal documents.
