Bug Fixes:

  • [WP-1337]: SCAYT Core: SCAYT crashes when the browser localStorage is disabled.
  • [WP-625]: SCAYT plugin for CKEditor: “Unable to get property type of undefined or null reference” error in the IE11 browser console when SCAYT is Disabled/Enabled.
  • [WP-1172]: AppServer: Glibc and Glib libraries not found errors during the application installation on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.9 with Apache HTTP Server 2.2.15. 

Breaking Changes:

  • Web Interface. To get the performance benefits we replaced the older Common Gateway Interface (CGI), an interface between the web page or browser and the web server that runs the application, with newer and faster – FastCGI. Unlike CGI, FastCGI allows managing multiple CGI requests within a single process without creating a separate process for each request.
