Bug Fixes
- Fixed a known issue that was causing the search or the download of a document which contained characters that require URL
encoding (
&,,,+,#,') in its file name to fail with an invalid query. - Fixed a bug that caused the Predict functionality to fail on documents with very dense text.
- Removed the 2000 documents import limit per session. Now you can have more than 2000 documents in a session, considering the limit of 2000 pages per import.
- Fixed a bug that was not allowing you to select more than 3 boxes when pressing
ctrlorshift. - Fixed a bug that caused an import to hang in processing until being timed out after the pod was restarted but the job did not resume.
- Fixed a bug that prevented the Predict function from extracting data from the entire document. Please note that the 10 page limit when using the function with Public Endpoints is still in place.
- Fixed a bug for Microsoft Read OCR where endpoints matching the
*.cognitiveservices.azure.comsubdomains were throwing anOCR endpoint is not validerror. - Fixed a bug that caused the Document Manager dataset import to mix up pages on documents with more than 10 pages.
- Fixed a bug that caused the download or the export of an empty dataset or only a small subset of the full dataset when the All labelled option was selected.
Known Issues
- Maximum import size decreased from 2GB or 2000 pages to 1GB or 2000 pages.
- Searching or downloading a document containing characters that require URL encoding (
&,,,+,#,') in its file name fails withinvalid query.
Improvements
Fixed a bug that was causing considerable memory consumption when Validation Station was run on Cloud with Action Center. Now, everything works as expected and memory consumption is within normal range.
