Other Changes

ID Salesforce Description
TRANS-3847 - Reports. Updated PDF generation logic. Updates have been made to the reports engine to correct issues when generating multi-page PDF reports in Internet Explorer (IE). As IE does not natively support viewing a PDF, Transtream previously generated an image and PDF version of the report, with the image used as the report preview. Now, only the first page of the report is returned in the image representation when requesting PDF reports within IE.
TRANS-3860 - HubCapp. Resolved handling of characters in Printer Name. Printer Names including the single quotation mark (‘) character are now handled correctly by the HubCapp Peripheral Agent. There is a new HubCapp Peripheral Agent 2.12.0.
TRANS-3863 - Shipping Apps. Corrected issue with Ultimate Consignee. Ultimate Consignee addresses now function as expected when country codes are used to set the country. Previously, if only the code was entered, the request would error.
TRANS-3874 - CANPAR. Removed unsupported carrier special service. Removed the special service COD - Guaranteed Funds for CANPAR.
TRANS-3883 - Desktop App. Updated ship request form. Sender Name and Department now display correctly on ship request forms.
