Release Notes - Aligned Elements V2.6 (2.6.401/157.20382)
On November 7th 2022, we release Aligned Elements V2.6 (2.6.401/157.20382).
Please note that you are the only person in your organization that has received this notification. Distribute this email as you find appropriate.
Reason for this Version
This version contains a host of new features including:
- Trace Object Attributes
- Chapter Descriptions
- Trace Table based on Snapshots
- GemBoxPDf as standard PDF Converter
It also contains a large number of smaller features requested by Aligned Elements customers as well as a number of important bug fixes.
Please see complete list below.
Upgrading from previous versions
Aligned Elements V2.6 is backward compatible with Aligned Elements V2.4 and earlier. Opening a project for the first time with a new client will initiate a conversion of some of the internal data to a more performant structure. The data integrity is intact, and no information will be altered.
Note! As of Aligned Elements V2.5 SP 2, the User Group management contains a new User Group right for Locking / Unlocking objects. When upgrading a project from versions earlier than V2.5 SP 2, this right will be added to the project. The change causes a Message Box saying "Templates have changed. Database will be upgraded." Click "Yes" to proceed (our recommendation) and upgrade the project.
Note! As of Aligned Elements V2.5, newly created Users must do their first log in within 5 days of the user creation date! If more than 5 days pass, a Project Administrator must reset the created user’s password to grant the user a new window of 5 days to do the initial login.
