This deployment contains bug fixes and performance updates with the addition of an Apple TV fix relating to QR code Login.

Mobile/Apple TV Improvements

• Apple TV improvements where earlier QR code or by URL wouldn't complete the login process on Apple TV. Users can now successfully log in using these methods and will be taken to the Core landing page.

Performance and Experience Improvements

• Duplicate files no longer mask others in asset groups, ensuring accurate sorting by name.
• PDFs that were appearing blank when viewing or downloading proxies now have been fixed.
• Administrators can now seamlessly impersonate user accounts without being logged out.
• Forensic job notifications are now reliably sent out.
• Improved load times for categorization tags thanks to new optimized caching logic.

Watermarking Updates

• Fixed: Users with "Change Watermark" permissions can now successfully apply custom watermarks to files when downloading packages.
• Fixed: Custom watermarks are now correctly applied when downloading assets as a zip file.

Reprocessing Updates

• Fixed: Videos with no audio now playback correctly.
• Fixed: Video transcoding jobs with missing "Audio Type Order Tag" now process correctly.

Package and Sharing Updates

• Fixed: Asset group order within packages now remains consistent, even after navigating to individual assets and returning to the main package view.
• Fixed: Improved performance, smoother navigation, and faster loading times for viewing and scrolling through large packages, especially those with multiple asset groups containing over 100 files each.
• Fixed: Adding files with numerous comments to packages is now significantly faster. Comment processing has been updated, preventing delays and improving overall responsiveness.
• Fixed: The subject field in packages will no longer randomly disappear, ensuring consistent display of package information.
• Fixed: Asset groups within packages now maintain their original order, even after navigating to individual assets and returning to the main package view. This eliminates unexpected sorting changes and ensures a consistent user experience.
• Fixed: The "Share" button is now consistently displayed after categorizing uploads, allowing users to share their categorized content without any issues.
• Fixed: Users who received a re-shared package with updated download permissions to download source without watermark, can now download source files instead of the proxies.
• Fixed: Resolved an issue in the Asset Viewer that prevented users from navigating through multiple PDF files. Users can now seamlessly view multiple files in sequence without encountering errors.
• Fixed: Resolved issues with Quickshare / Skip & Share. Shared packages are now categorized, searchable, and accurately display their assets.

Download Updates

• Fixed: Resolved an issue that caused intermittent errors when downloading files as a zip. Zip downloads should now function consistently without errors.

Search Updates

• Fixed: When deleting assets within a group, the "Delete" function now accurately removes only the assets that match the applied search or filter criteria. This allows for precise control over asset removal and prevents accidental deletion of the entire group.

User Related Updates

• Fixed: Standard users with "Create User" permission can now add company, department, and position information when creating new users.
• Fixed: Hotkeys for selecting user roles in the downloads filter are now working correctly. Users can again quickly and easily filter by user role without needing to manually type the full role name.
• Fixed: The app now properly handles session expiration and prompts the user to log in again.
• Fixed: Closed a permissions issue that allowed standard users to add files from view-only packages to their own packages, exceeding their intended access level.

Categorization Improvements

• Renaming tag values with a large number of associated files is now faster. This optimization also applies to asset group re-indexing.
• Fixed: Adding a new value to a multi-select tag field no longer removes existing values. You can now add multiple values to tags without losing previously selected options. This fix applies to both the "Edit metadata" interface and the upload panel.
• Fixed: Tag renaming directly from the “Browse” breadcrumb section is working efficiently with no further Javascript errors.
• Fixed: Removed an unnecessary pop-up message that appeared when editing asset metadata.

General Improvements and Updates

• Fixed: Proxy files now accurately reflect the colors of their source files.
• Fixed: Corrected typos on the MFA setup page for improved readability and clarity.
• Fixed: Thumbnails are now correctly displayed for productions on the dashboard when the "Productions" type is selected.
• Fixed: Resolved a console error in the Asset Viewer by updating a deprecated function.
