This release contains a fix for opening a RegistryView when Templafy Desktop applies changes for the Registry. Before that fix, Templafy Desktop used to open a 64-bit representation of the Registry when accessing keys in HKLM and a 32-bit representation when accessing all other keys as Templafy Desktop always runs as a 32-bit process. In this fix, we take into account the bitness of a user's machine and open a RedistryView that corresponds to that bitness.

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.
Why: Templafy Desktop previously did not support an event in WebView2 that would query the respective certificate on behalf of the user and therefore prevent the certificate selection dialog prompt.
How: By handling the respective event in WebView2, login can succeed without user's interaction (quietly).
Released to Stable in February 2022

Templafy Desktop uninstaller throwing exception for missing assembly System.IO.Abstractions

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.
Serialisation issue in Templafy Desktop logs
This release fixes an issue with returning incorrect response messages on unauthenticated requests.
Add workaround for issue related to WebView2 runtime in Hive
