New Features and Enhancements​

Improvements and Fixes​

  • ScrewDrivers Administration UI updated to provide better feedback of focusing items within tabs.
  • ScrewDrivers Reports now reports the application server as "SourceMachineName" and, when installed on a ScrewDrivers Print Server, the Print Server as "MachineName".
  • ScrewDrivers Print Server fixed a bug when communicating with APF application servers.
  • ScrewDrivers Scanning fixed several memory related bugs that could cause client side crashes.
  • ScrewDrivers Scanning fixed a server side bug related to scanning profiles.

Known Issues

This version is in-compatible with Server 2012 R2 OS. Server 2012 R2 OS is still supported by previous versions.

  • If the ScrewDrivers Administration active tab is Reporting, the report viewer will hide portions of the File->Options or Help->About windows due to a technical limitation. A workaround does exist, just change to another tab view before displaying the File->Options or Help->About window. We do not expect this to be fixed in a future version.
