Hi all,
I'm happy to announce that Language Weaver Edge 8.5.3 has been released and is now available from our download servers.
This version is a patch release that contains the following improvements and fixes:
What's New?
- Rebranding to Language Weaver
- SDL Machine Translation Edge is now Language Weaver Edge
- Logos, colors and fonts have been modified according to the new Language Weaver brand
- The product feature scope remains unchanged and all existing product features available in the former SDL Machine Translation Edge 8.5.2 are available in this new release: it is a new version of the same product, with additional fixes, and only the name and look-and-feel have been changed
- New features include:
- Add the ability to disable individual users in the Users page
- Add documentation for the Metrics REST API
- Add a new "Observer" role with restricted rights to only view Metrics
- Add new Monitoring metrics to view Translation engines word per minute throughput
- Fixes include:
- Improve language detection of Chinese input and mixed Latin-CJK input
- Improve character encoding detection for Html files
- Allow customizable SAML attribute names in main configuration file
- Add Localization of Languages on the Translate page
- Add missing Translate button on the Translate page when the Instant Translation setting is disabled
- Reduce latency when exporting Adapted LPs
- Fix dictionary highlighting issue to prevent concatenation of adjacent words and prevent highlight of adjacent non-dictionary words
- Prevent a rare threading deadlock that may cause a Job Engine to stop processing new jobs while performing the tokenization
- Reduce memory usage of the Job Engines when they process large dictionaries
License consideration when upgrading:
- If you are already using MT Edge 8.5.2, you can safely upgrade to 8.5.3 and no new license is needed.
- If you are upgrading from 8.5.0 or 8.5.1 on Windows (Bare metal / VM) or Linux (Bare metal), you can safely upgrade to 8.5.3 and no new license is needed.
- If you are upgrading from 8.5.0 or 8.5.1 on Linux Virtual Machines, due to security improvements introduced in 8.5.2, the service will now run with a non privileged user. In some virtual environments, a new license may be needed after the upgrade. If you are running on Linux Virtual Machines, you may want to get a new 8.5.3 license generated before running the upgrade. Please ask a new license through your gateway account, with the current myhosts.json of your Edge setup.
- Direct upgrade from other 8.X previous releases is supported, but an 8.5 license will be required. The new license can be requested through your gateway account, and it can be generated based on your current myhosts.json file (there is no need to wait for the upgrade to be done to get the license generated - we can generate the license in advance so it can be available when the upgrade is performed).
