Version 3.19.0

  • A new button is available to update the AppSecret. Users can use the existing download button to get the new configuration.

Updates
  • Vera announces the support for Symantec V15.8.

  • Vera expands the support for SharePoint. Users can now use the VIB/EIB functionality for protected files hosted on SharePoint.

  • Vera announces the support for PDF files rendering by OnlyOffice cluster.

  • Vera announces the support for the Outlook new UI with the JS add-in on MacOS.

  • Vera announces the support for MangoDB 4.2. MongoDB version 4.0 will reach End of Life (EOL) on April 30, 2022. Atlas clusters currently running MongoDB 4.0, which will be automatically upgraded to MongoDB 4.2 after April 30, 2022.

  • Vera announces the end of support for Microsoft IE11 for VIB/EIB:

    • With the Vera 3.19.0 release, the View-in-Browser/Edit-in-Browser (VIB/EIB) functionality is no longer supported on Internet Explorer 11 (IE11). Other browsers, such as Microsoft Edge, Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, and Safari, will continue to be supported. There are no changes to file types, sizes, or any other capabilities of VIB/EIB.

    • This decision is prompted by several factors. Microsoft has set IE11 on a sunset path, with O365 already not supporting it, and planning to withdraw operating system support for IE11 in Q2 2022. Usage of IE has been steadily declining in the Vera user base, with Edge increasing share. As a security company, Vera always recommends using the newest, best-supported version of software. This includes Vera's underlying Javascript libraries, which are also dropping IE11 support with this and subsequent releases.

  • Vera announces the end of support for the following MacOS applications in the upcoming releases:

    • AutoCAD, AutoCADLT, Reader, and Adobe Illustrator version 2019 in the upcoming Vera Release 3.20.0.

    • Outlook shim in the upcoming Vera Release 3.21.0.

    • Office 365 version 15.41.0 and earlier in the upcoming Vera Release 3.20.0.

NOTE: For viewing secured PDF files on MacOS, users can use Vera Preview.
NOTE: For Outlook support, users must upgrade to the Vera JS add-in to continue to using Vera with Outlook on a Mac.
Fixes
  • Fixed an issue where export and dashboard counts do not match:

    • Fixed an issue where the Statistical reports included some duplicate users.

    • Fixed an issue where some leftover content remained during a npm install/npm build.

  • Fixed an issue where Excel experienced slowness when Vera is installed.

  • Fixed an issue where Office 365 latest and Office 2019 – V.16.57 applications were crashed when Vera 3.18.x is installed on Mac. This issue is fixed for all Vera supported OS X versions.

  • Fixed an issue where securing a large file failed using Veracmd.

  • Fixed an issue where TAD Vera client (3.17) service stopped from time to time with the "Event 1000, application error" message on the Windows application logs and caused the key syncing to stop.

  • Fixed an issue where now admin has the option not to show the login button on the download page if User portal access is disabled.

  • Fixed an issue where the error messages provided too much information when you log in to the Vera portal.

  • Fixed an issue to merge the duplicate users and now the user count matches the export count.
