Page Breaks inside Lists
Support has been added to allow the splitting of lists across pages. This includes Widows and
Orphans control for ordered (<ol>) and unordered (<ul>) lists.
The Orphans CSS property specifies the minimum number of lines at the bottom of a page and
the Widows property specifies the minimum number of lines after the page break. To prevent
page breaks inside these elements simply add page-break-inside: avoid; to your stylesheets.
A formatting dialog for these elements will be added in a future version. (SHARED-14092)
Installer improvements
Improved error capture, handling and messaging. (SHARED-40209)
Korean Language Support
PrintShop Mail Connect 1.8 is now available in Korean, in addition to the other languages
already supported. (SHARED-40161)
Context Sensitive Help
Context Sensitive Help has been added to PrintShop Mail Connect. Selecting Help (via
button, or F1) in dialog boxes or screens will now generally take you to the Help page most
closely associated with the calling dialog box or screen. Context sensitivity will continue to be
incrementally introduced and improved hereafter. (SHARED-45766)
Database connection deadlocks resolved
We have added a timeout period to all Connect back-end database connectors, as well as
increasing the amount of database connection threads to better match the capabilities of the
hardware. This greatly reduces the chances of database deadlocks or bottlenecks when
processing jobs. (SHARED-57252)
Improved error handling of Merge Engine errors
In some rare circumstances XPCOM initializations would fail in Merge Engines. Thereafter the
Merge Engine would continue to run but would be unable to process any further requests.
Additional Merge engines would then be launched but the originals did not shut down,
eventually leading to resource shortages and subsequent job failures. This issue has been
addressed and XPCOM initialization errors in Merge Engines now cause the Merge engine to
terminate and restart cleanly. (SHARED-57270)
