3.4.9 - March 2022

• Fix ClientCertificateRequested in Templafy Desktop: This release ensures the WebView2 browser will automatically pick the certificate if only one certificate is available when the site requests a certificate from the browser.

3.3.0 - November 2021

• Introduce retry mechanism in seamless SSO flow in Templafy Desktop: This release adds a resilience mechanism to Templafy Desktop's SSO login flow by retrying the SSO login request in case of failure. This feature has been added in the attempt to address issues that have been reported in different tenants, where some of their users would be presented with the 'Access Templafy' login dialog due to SSO login failure. The tenants that reported the issue, would in most cases have some network infrastructure component (VPN, DNS proxies, ...) that could impact network access during user session startup which can consequentially impact the SSO operation. The number of retry attempts (defaults to 5) and the interval between retry attempts (defaults to 2 minutes) used in the retry mechanism are configurable under the registry key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Templafy\Desktop with the following entries:
  • AuthenticationFailureRetryAttempts: Integer - the number of retry attempts
  • AuthenticationFailureRetryInterval: Integer - the number of minutes between retry attempts.
  • Please note that these keys are not automatically created and have to be added manually in order to change the default settings.

3.2.7 - October 2021

• Add workaround for issue related to WebView2 runtime in Hive and One: This release adds a workaround for WebView 2 95.x runtime issue as suggested by Microsoft. https://github.com/MicrosoftEdge/WebView2Feedback/issues/1860.

This installation mode is triggered by setting HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Templafy\OfflineInstallationEnabled = true. The packages and necessary registry entries are packaged into an offline MSI which is currently created manually.

3.1.36 - June 2021

• Error on decoding jwt in Templafy Desktop: We identified an issue authenticating users for Templafy Desktop with specific claim values.

• Implement post-update runners in Templafy Desktop: This version adds support for Admin configured corporate terms in Productivity area to be synced to Office applications dictionary when updates are synced to Templafy Desktop.

3.1.30 - May 2021

• Multiple instances of Templafy Desktop login page: We identified an issue where a new login window would show on the next check for updates even when an active login window was still open. This problem has been resolved by adding a check to look for the active login window and show the active window instead of creating a new window.

3.1.29 - May 2021

• Fix SonarCloud Failing, Security Hotspots and Code Smells Templafy Desktop: We added a security update to guarantee the uninstall process uses the cmd.exe from specific directory instead of relying on PATH environment variable.

3.1.27 - May 2021

• Copy the ClientVersion registry key from HKLM to HKCU in server mode: Templafy desktop now copies the ClientVersion from HKLM to HKCU to support the check for hive in the office add-ins. This will enable the office add-ins to work on hive in server mode.

3.1.26 - May 2021

• Install server mode packages: Show installed server modules in the modules tab Closed Templafy Desktop is able to install packages when installed by administrators using ServerMode installation parameter. When installed in server mode, Templafy Desktop converts enabled add-ins and installs them into %ProgramData%. In a similar manner as in Templafy One, HKCU keys will be converted to HKLM. Server mode currently supports installation of the following add-ins: Library, Check&ProductivityPlus and EmailSignature. Once the installation completes, installed packages will be displayed under the Modules tab of Templafy Desktop.

• Make Templafy Desktop download Delta packages when available (Hive): Templafy Desktop Client will now correctly use the delta package URL to download updates instead of always using the full package URL.

3.1.22 - April 2021

• Templafy Desktop does not parse the multiline string correctly: Templafy Desktop will now format multi-string registry values correctly when updating the Windows registry.

3.1.21 - April 2021

• Templafy Desktop will never update Add-ins if Outlook is configured to auto-start: We identified an issue where the package update for Templafy Desktop could fail if any Office Application was running with a recent version of the Templafy Add-ins installed. This happened because the Add-ins were locking certain files that Templafy Desktop was trying to update. This problem has been resolved by automatically renaming the files that are locked and adding them to the list of files installed during the update. The file will get a random suffix in the name and the extension of the file gets renamed to ".bak". If the Office Application restarts it will release the lock on this renamed file and then it will get removed on the next package update for Templafy Desktop.

3.1.18 - March 2021

• Templafy Desktop fails to update when package has Office startup files: This release fixes the issue where a Desktop Client update containing packages with Office applications' files would fail. New updates containing Office applications' files will complete successfully.

3.1.13 - March 2021

• Implement proxy bypass list from registry: This release makes it possible to configure a proxy server and proxy bypass list to be used by the browser component that is embedded in Templafy Desktop. The following registry key entries are now optional:

• • HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Templafy\ProxyIsEnabled
    Type: REG_SZ
    Default: false
    "( false | true )"
  • When this is set to 'true' it enables configuring a proxy server. Without configuring any other related registry keys the proxy server will be resolved from the Operating System by checking what proxy server is used for the tenant url configured for Templafy Desktop. This however does not support a proxy bypass list.
  • HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Templafy\ProxyServer
    Type: REG_SZ
    Format: "<domain/ip>:<port>"
  • When ProxyIsEnabled is set to true, this setting overrides the system configured proxy settings and use this proxy server on all requests issued by the embedded browser component (WebView2).
  • HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Templafy\ProxyBypassList
    Type: REG_MULTI_SZ
    Format: "<domain/ip1>;<domain/ip2>"
    Domain/IP range must follow Java's convention by using the wildcard characters '*' as suffix or prefix.
    Example: "192.168.202.* ;*.yourdomain.com"
  • When ProxyIsEnabled is set to true the resolved Proxy Server will not be used for these addresses.

3.1.11 - February 2021

3.1.8 - February 2021

• Templafy Desktop Client 3.1 does not refresh entire settings UI after update completes: We identified an issue where the settings UI was not properly refreshed after package update. This has now been resolved, and all the settings should now reflect the correct state after the update is completed.

3.1.7 - February 2021

• Update Templafy Desktop Client 3.1 to WebView2 1.0.705.50: We have updated the WebView2 library to version 1.0.705.50, which includes a new native cookie manager. This made it possible for us to remove some custom workarounds from the previous versions, where native cookie support was not available.

3.1.5 - February 2021

• Templafy Desktop Client 3.1 defaults to TLS 1.0 on Windows 7: We have identified an issue when Templafy Desktop runs on Windows 7. By default, Templafy Desktop will use the system default TLS version, which on Windows 8, 8.1 and 10, will automatically select TLS 1.2 or greater. On Windows 7 the system default is TLS 1.0, in which case we are now explicitly enabling TLS 1.2.

3.1.4 - February 2021

• Missing information in the log when starting client 3.1 if WebView2 in not installed : We fixed an issue where a missing WebView2 Runtime version was logged as an empty string. Also, when no authentication method is explicitly set in the registry, we no longer write the redundant log entry "Authentication method: not set".

3.1.3 - January 2021

• Templafy Desktop Client 3.1 not able to connect to website: When Templafy Desktop Client 3.1 is started from Host 2.2, the default TLS protocols are insufficient for accessing Templafy Hive. To solve this, we now make sure, if the client is started from a host version below 3.0, the default TLS version is set to TLS 1.2.

3.1.2 - January 2021

• Templafy Desktop Client 3.1.1 seamless SSO never times out: An issue with Seamless Single Sign-On caused the process to be stuck and never time out. This would affect users that didn't authenticate using SSO or where the seamless SSO couldn't complete (e.g. email authentication).

3.1.1 - January 2021

• Templafy Desktop Client 3.1: This release contains all the same features as released for Templafy Desktop Client 2.5 for Templafy One: Replaced all instances of Internet Explorer with WebView2 Removed support for Office versions below 2016 Added proxy support In order to run Templafy Desktop Client 3.1, the following prerequisites needs to be installed:

• • Templafy Desktop Host 2.0 or above
  • .NET Framework 4.7.2 or above
  • WebView2 Runtime
• Templafy Desktop Client 3.1.0 runs as x86: The new Desktop Client 3.1.0 was incorrectly targeting a wrong platform (x86) making it incompatible with Host 2.x (AnyCPU). This resulted in the Host not being able to load the client and display an error dialog. This is now resolved, and the client is now targeting AnyCPU making it compatible with both Host 2.x and 3.x.

3.1.0 - January 2021

• • Revoked for issues with Host 2.2.
