Released to Insider in March 2022
Templafy Desktop Client 3.4.9
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.

Templafy Desktop Uninstaller was not removing all installed files because of missing assemblies. This release fixes that problem.
Released to Insider in November 2021
Templafy Desktop Client 3.3.0
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.
Released to Insider in October 2021
Templafy Desktop Client 3.2.7
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. In a similar manner, the same workaround has been added for Templafy One Desktop Client 2.5.93

Multiple instances of Templafy Desktop login page

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.
Templafy Desktop Client 3.1.29
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.

Templafy Desktop Client 3.1.26
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.

Templafy Desktop Client 3.1.22
Templafy Desktop does not parse the multiline string correctly
Templafy Desktop will now format multi-string registry values correctly when updating the Windows registry.
Templafy Desktop Client 3.1.21
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.
Released to Insider in March 2021
Templafy Desktop Client 3.1.18
Templafy Desktop fails to update when package has Office startup files

Templafy Desktop Client 3.1.14
NullReferenceException when Templafy Desktop 3.1.13 updates
This release fixes an issue introduced in the previous release for Templafy Desktop.
Templafy Desktop Client 3.1.13
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.
Released to Insider in February 2021

We solved an issue where clicking "Check for updates" in the settings UI would clear the list of installed add-ins.
Templafy Desktop Client 3.1.8
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.
Templafy Desktop Client 3.1.7
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.
Templafy Desktop Client 3.1.5
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.
Templafy Desktop Client 3.1.4
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".
Released to Insider in January 2021
Templafy Desktop Client 3.1.3
Templafy Desktop Client 3.1 not able to connect to websiteWhen 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.
Templafy Desktop Client 3.1.2
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).
Templafy Desktop Client 3.1.1
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
Templafy Desktop Client 3.1.0
- Revoked for issues with Host 2.2
