We are glad to announce a maintenance update for Help+Manual 8.4. If you are using version 8 already and your maintenance plan includes updates until May 28, 2022, just download the setup and run it to update your current installation.
Changes in 8.4.4 Build 5960
- Configuration > Misc: when changing the option for Translation-friendly XML, topic time stamps and last edited by are kept by default (option to keep it is included in the dialog). This function is particularly important for the Help+Manual Translation Assistant.
- Project Report: extended, long and full project report now includes topic comments
- Equation objects: vertical alignment for “top”, “middle” and “bottom” added.
- Word/RTF import: keywords that contain a “: ” (colon + space) are separated into 2-level keywords.
- SVG Images: improved display of SVG images created by PowerPoint
- Screen Capture: the screen capture tool has additional functionality for stand-alone use.
Bug fixes
- DeepL Plugin: internal bug fix when encoding UTF8 payload for translation, which may have caused DeepL to return distorted XML in some cases.
- Figure labels: if the text line following a figure label object contained a topic-specific variable, this variable was not replaced with the current variable in the PDF table-of-figures (global variables worked). Bug fix for figure labels not included in the figure list (could have caused an endless loop and H&M crashing)
- HelpXplain in Webhelp: on computers with system locale Chinese (simplified and traditional), the loader script for HelpXplain presentations had the wrong encoding. HTML topic pages that hosted an Xplain contained damaged HTML code.
