Impex release information
Release Type: Patch
The IMPEX 5.8.3 release
This is a patch release fixing an issue with importing scans on the ICC. This was reported to us by a customer after we had already released the 5.8.2 patch release so we are making a new patch release just for this fix. We have not seen this in our development, staging, or production systems but the logs from the customer were clear that it can happen.
ICC fixes
- Importing a scan where the metadata field for a file was NULL led to an import failure. The fix was to also handle NULL fields, treating it as an empty string when processing the scan report. The stations will continue to try and upload the scan to the ICC and after this patch release it will succeed. No data will get lost.
