DOORS Bridge 1.7 Build 74

Published June 17, 2024

# Comma-separated list with the names of DOORS object Rich TEXT attributes, that should NOT be converted into codebeamer Wiki markup,
# but instead should be treaded as pre-formatted plain text. Leading and trailing whitespace is regarded as part of the attribute name,
# so do NOT add extra whitespace around commas! Commas within an attribute name must be substituted with the special placeholder ~|

Bug fixes None


DOORS Bridge 1.7 Build 73

Published April 23, 2024
Notes Bug fix release, no functional changes.
Bug fixes You must login to see this link. Register now, if you have no user account yet.

Added an additional check for PNG previews created by DOORS, to check, that they are not a 1x1 image, in case the OLE application for the embedded OLE object is not installed on the DOORS Bridge server.


DOORS Bridge 1.7 Build 72

Published April 8, 2024
Notes Bug fix release, no functional changes.
Bug fixes You must login to see this link. Register now, if you have no user account yet.

Restored the original logic, to let DOORS provide PNG previews for embedded OLE objects, because at least for embedded Word and Excel documents, the result is better.
Only if DOORS fails to provide previews for all embedded objects, then DOORS Bridge will creates all necessary PNG previews from the exported raw RTF itself!


DOORS Bridge 1.7 Build 71

Published November 15, 2023
Notes Bug fix release, no functional changes.
Bug fixes You must login to see this link. Register now, if you have no user account yet.

DOORS Bridge will automatically wrap legacy DOORS rich text into an RTF envelope, even if the rich text already contains nested RTF envelopes

Bug fixes You must login to see this link. Register now, if you have no user account yet.

So DOORS Bridge not longer relies on DOORS, to provide PNG previews for embedded OLE objects,
but instead creates all necessary PNG previews from the exported raw RTF itself!
