IGP:DP 2.1.0 - Bug Fixes

  1. epub3 - the TOC does not appear in spine unless book contains BOOKTitlePage-rw. This has been fixed.
  2. CSS for .copyright-rw was appering in F00 and some was in F02 (partially duplicating what's in F00). This has been fixed
  3. Design Tools > Font Families > Insert Into Reader resets the Reader CSS of documents using the old Presentation templates. This update checks if the CSS is pre2012 and then shows a exception message.
  4. TIB - The following issues were fixed
    1. TIB would write "&" character as a named entity into the TIB database. The FX content stored it as numeric entity. This caused the FX and TIB block match to fail. And this would cause the Merge activity to run. Now, TIB saves the & character as numeric entity.
    2. TIB inserted the special characters into wrong location. During the merge operation, The TIB content is replaced with the modified FX content. The special characters inserted in the TIB is inserted into its position in modified block. To insert the characters, TIB tries to find the word before and after the special character. TIB would treat period as a separate object. Example, So word before would be the period(.) and word after would be I. If similar pattern existed in the content, the special character was inserted into the first matching position. Now TIB uses additional characters during word before and word after matching.
    3. TIB special character indicators also were not displaying in correct insertion position. This is now fixed.
  5. 5. Document Designer Bug fix for the DD font list.
    1. Failed to load because of AJAX timeout. Only Select was present in the dropdown list.
    2. Before the font list would get populated, but the current Document font did not get set.
  6. Document Designer Bug fix for TAH Migrated documents
    1. The TAH migrated document contains the DD properties in the C03 block. The existing code used to return that to DD instead of values present in DD block. This is now fixed.
    2. The TAH migrated CSS also contained the font family statement in galley-rw. DD would use this font family in the Font list. Now, DD always uses the DD properties Font family if it is available.
  7. Document Designer Galley Font family name overwrite bug
    1. When User saves the content in DD, DD collects the data and sends it to server for saving.
    2. DD CSS Middleware on the server extracts a list of the font families set by the user.
    3. DD then sends a request to the Font Manager to get the font declarations for the used Font Families.
    4. After getting the font data, It replaces the Galley Font Family name with "Galley". [This was a new requirement as we started to use term "Galley" instead of actual Font family name. The "Galley" itself was mapped to fonts using the Font schemes.]
    5. Now, If the same Font Family is used for header and footer, the above process replaces the family name with Galley. And the font stops applying.
    6. The Fix is to append the Galley font family data separately to the end of the C03 block.
  8. DD Galley Font family name overwrite Bug fix - When User saves from the DD, and the DD updates do not contain Galley FF update, The DD middleware cant get the Galley Font family name from the source CSS [because it has been named to Galley] and the C03 block loses the galley font family declarations. Now, the middleware get the font family name from the DD Properties and uses that.
  9. Writer Content overwrite bug fix for duplication of pages
  10. When the user and project names gets some similar matching then entry in group overwrite of project group or user group.
  11. CSS reduction was not working in case of font-family applied to a document from Font Scheme > Font Family.
  12. PDF Importer getting stuck - simple PDFs stopped importing
  13. Import Manuscript - the "Import" button has been muted, when the importing is in process.
  14. Updated for: removing "width" style when value is "100%" for.pc img selector from Reader CSS for Kindle format.
  15. Writer Interface - Content Block Loading Exception handling and fixed Locked by text
  16. FM2 Interface Bug - If the same fontfamily exists in more than one accounts, it shows the fontcount correct but font face wrong as select all font faces from respective family even if not all faces are uploaded in one account. This is fixed.
  17. TIB Bug fix - The following problems were fixed
    1. TIB would write "&" character as a named entity into the TIB database. The FX content stored it as numeric entity. This caused the FX and TIB block match to fail. And this would cause the Merge activity to run. Now, TIB saves the & character as numeric entity.
    2. TIB inserted the special characters into wrong location. During the merge operation, The TIB content is replaced with the modified FX content. The special characters inserted in the TIB is inserted into its position in modified block. To insert the characters, TIB tries to find the word before and after the special character. TIB would treat period as a separate object. Example, So word before would be the period(.) and word after would be I. If similar pattern existed in the content, the special character was inserted into the first matching position. Now TIB uses additional characters during word before and word after matching.
    3. TIB special character indicators also were not displaying in correct insertion position. This is now fixed.
  18. Digital Publisher Login bug - When a user logs in to one account and then closed account and logs in to another account, user gets logged into the previous account from where user was closed. This happens when the brower tab is closed directly. This is now fixed.
  19. Design Tools > Font Families > Insert Into Reader resets the Reader CSS of documents using the old Presentation templates. This update checks if the CSS is pre2012 and then shows a exception message.
  20. IGP CSV updates - the following updates were done
    1. char-underline – changed style to span
    2. igp-char-underline – was duplicate. Deleted the wrong style one
    3. igp-char-bold – b and i reorganized
    4. char-bold – b and i reorganized
  21. MS Import Bug Fix - In the manuscript import process, inline styles did not generate in case when user selects an entire paragraph in the manuscript and apply styles to it. In this case, <span> elements are not generated for inline styled content. However, style attribute has generated to that associate paragraph where the whole paragraph contents has applies a single style.
  22. Writer Archive import - In some case the imported document used to display a blank Writer CSS, when the Presentation template is not available on the destination Server. This has been fixed
  23. Typography Setup interface - The options which were not handled have been removed from the interface.
  24. Media Manager Audio/Video upload - When audio and video is uploaded, Application creates a representational image for media manager and mouseover display. If the audio filename and a separate image uploaded match, then the temporary image created for audio overwrites the image file during format generation. This is fixed by appending a rwapp text to the temporary audio online image file.
  25. Document Ownership - Changing the document ownership to a user, displays "Failed to change Owner" message, in case the document is present in Library and the actual owner of that document has been deleted. This is fixed.
  26. Index number generation issue - Index page numbers were not generating for TIB'ed paras.
  27. MS Import Bug Fix - Chapter basis grouping done in endnotes section. (The grouping of chapter wise endnotes was not handled earlier however this is now implemented in the processor.)
