What’s new in BlueCielo Publisher 2016

BlueCielo Meridian 2016 adds the following new fixes and improvements:

ID	Description
	SQL Server 2005 is no longer supported.
MRE-1085	A new setting EnableUseRenditionForLinkedDocuments has been added to the PublisherCapability.dat file that, when set to true shows a new publishing job option Use exisiting rendition for linked documents on the MERGING tab of the job. If that option is enabled and renditions already exist for the linked documents, those renditions are merged with the current document rendition instead of regenerating the linked renditions.
MRE-1259	A new option Use file extension of rendition has been added to synchronization type publishing jobs that use a Meridian vault as the source.
MRE-1333	A new rendering module for converting AutoCAD drawings to Adobe PDF format using the Teigha® components from the Open Drawing Alliance has been added.
MRE-1335	A new configuration page FILE EXTENSION MAPPING has been added to publishing jobs. This page is used to map source file extensions to rendering profiles or alternate actions for up to three rendering attempts. The options on this page replace the related options on other pages in previous versions of Publisher. Existing publishing jobs will be upgraded to default mappings after installing this version. Verify and adjust them as necessary.
MRE-1353	The Teigha DGN rendering module and the Teigha DWG rendering module now resolve xrefs that reside in the Meridian vault.
MRE-1360	When the Copy Content option is disabled for the Explorer synchronization job (and a rendering profile is not assigned) the job will now not use the local workspace of the server. This conserves disk space and may also have a positive affect on performance.
MRE-1427	MicroStation external references (title blocks, for example) are now rendered in monochrome if the parent drawing is rendered in monochrome.
MRE-1502	Long document names in BlueCielo Project Portal no longer generate PathTooLongException errors during rendering and watermark application.
MRE-1618	The Zoom to extents mode option of the Teigha DGN and Teigha DWG rendering modules has been removed. Page settings could not be applied when it was disabled. The drawing extents are now always rendered using the configured page settings.
MRE-1629	A new option Apply on first page only has been added to publishing jobs that when enabled, renders the watermark only on the first page of a multi-page rendition.
MRE-1641	A new rendering module for converting popular image and graphic metafile documents to Adobe PDF format using the PDFsharp components from empira Software GmbH has been added.
MRE-1666	The Teigha DGN and Teigha DWG rendering modules have been updated with Teigha 4.1.0. Adobe PDF rendition file sizes are noticeably smaller.
MRE-1670	The Teigha DGN rendering module now searches for SHX fonts in the folder C:\Program Files\BC-Meridian\Enterprise Server\Teigha.NET.
MRE-1672	Meridian Explorer synchronization no longer fails when it encounters unexpected duplicate references to a master document. Now the error is logged and synchronization will continue.
MRE-1695	Problems that caused black backgrounds and incorrect drawing extents in the Teigha DGN rendering module have been fixed.
MRE-1877	A new setting DoNotNotifyAnotherJobIsRunning has been added to the file GeneralPublisherSettings.dat. If set to true, it prevents Another instance of the job is currently running notifications if a frequent job is still running when it is scheduled to begin again.
MRE-1907, MRE-2068, MRE-2110	Selecting the AutoVue rendering module component during installation now installs two versions of the AutoVue rendering module: AutoVue – This rendering module is based on AutoVue Desktop 20.2.1 and is no longer being developed by Oracle. It supports page ranges, paper sizes, orientation, colors, and pen tables and those options are available in existing and new rendering profiles made with this rendering module. However, it does not support the latest versions of some file formats. This is the same version as provided by prior versions of Meridian Enterprise and is compatible with existing rendering profiles. AutoVue Desktop Deployment – This rendering module is based on AutoVue 20.2.3(Java server) and will continue to be developed by Oracle. It is installed as a desktop deployment on the Meridian Enterprise Server computer. It does not support page ranges, paper sizes, orientation, colors, and pen tables and those options are not available in new rendering profiles made with this rendering module. However, it does support the latest versions of some file formats. You may choose which rendering module best meets your requirements and create corresponding rendering profiles accordingly. For the list of input file formats that are supported by the AutoVue rendering module, see the version of Meridian Enterprise Supported Software that matches the Meridian Enterprise software. For the list of specific versions of the file formats that are supported for rendering, see the AutoVue documentation on the Oracle web site.
MRE-2074	The AutoVue and AutoVue Desktop Deployment rendering modules no longer support CALS GP4 rendition output.
MRE-2112	Oracle 10g is no longer supported.
