Fix:
-
Fixed an issue introduced in 19.0.0 that prevented the release of print jobs that were in the hold/release queue at the time of upgrading.
If you have a version earlier than 19.0.0, you can upgrade at any time and your print jobs will be retained and releasable.
If you have installed 19.0.0 or 19.0.1, we recommend upgrading outside of business hours to minimize the impact of lost jobs.

-
Database Schema for SQL server: Updated the database so SQL server can accept and store special characters from character sets other than Latin (for example, characters with umlauts or accents, .Arabic characters etc.). A database update is required.
Important: SQL Server Express has a maximum database size limit of 10 GB and upgrading requires some free memory. So when you upgrade to Release 19.0, make sure the data in the PaperCut NG/MF database is less than 8 GB or the upgrade will fail. If the database is larger than 8 GB, contact us. [PC-14602]
