Special Upgrade Instructions

Update LibreOffice

If you are generating PDF documents, upgrade LibreOffice to version 7.2.5.

Bug Fixes

DEV-10690 - The PDF generation process is no longer losing system resources, causing the process to hang randomly. This was preventing PDF documents being generated until the PDF generation service (LibreOffice) was stopped and restarted.

This fix requires you to update to LibreOffice version 7.2.5.

DEV-10652 – Scheduled tasks and manually-run tasks now always merge correctly. Previously, occasional incorrect merges caused:

  • the scheduled task to hang before all work was complete
  • log messages for the manual task to appear in the log messages for the scheduled task.
