Resolved Issues

Issues of previous versions that this version solves.

General

  • Important: Fixed an issue affecting all clients that could render the Graphic Hub connection unresponsive and required a restart of the client application (VIZGH-7792). It is highly recommended to upgrade all Graphic Hub applications to the latest versions.

Graphic Hub 3.8.0

  • Important: Fixed a possible unexpected termination when running in mode Main or Replication with an unstable network (VIZGH-7631).

  • Important: Fixed a possible unexpected termination where a file handle was released, although it was still in use (VIZGH-7793).

  • Fixed a permission issue where other users were able to create files in a project or folder where the write permissions were restricted to user rights only (VIZGH-7620). Now only the owner and members of the Administrator group can create files in a folder where the write permissions are only set to user rights.

Graphic Hub Terminal 3.8.0

  • Important: Fixed an issue where cleanup tasks may not trigger when the Graphic Hub is bound to a specific network adapter (IP) on hosts with multiple IPs (VIZGH-7735).

  • Fixed an issue where Graphic Hub Terminal required certain registry keys to send e-mails through SMTP with SSL enabled and restricted to only accept TLSv1.2 and/or TLSv1.3 (VIZGH-7529).

Graphic Hub REST 2.8.0

  • Important: Fixed an issue where Graphic Hub REST may get unresponsive and requires a restart when Pilot operations generate a large amount of changes and update messages that are distributed to the clients (VIZGH-7631).

Graphic Hub Manager 5.8.0

  • Fixed a display issue in the license details dialog with WIBU licenses (VIZGH-7590).

Graphic Hub ImEx Agent 2.0.0

  • Fixed an issue where Graphic Hub ImEx Agent required certain registry keys set to connect to GH REST with SSL enabled and restricted to only accept TLSv1.2 and/or TLSv1.3 (VIZGH-7572).
