  • No changes except a rebuild with the latest version of the PDF Library. This includes a JavaScript-releated security fix to the PDF Library API, which is part of the Report Generator. Although this issue will not impact anyone using the XML interface to the Report Generator, it could theoretically affect those using the PDF Library API to work with existing PDFs. Contact BFO directly for details on this issue.
