QCB-34538 FEC-358	QlikEmbed: issue resolving relative URLs	When a QlikEmbed website was hosted from the internal route {{/extensions}} in Qlik Sense, the URL to fetch {{import-map.json}} that QlikEmbed relies on, was resolved with a wrong URL due to relative URLs mapping to the wrong folder. This has now been fixed so that URLs are always correctly resolved based on the origin of the host.
QCB-34531	Insight Advisor Chat: issue with published apps	Fixed an issue where published apps with Insight Advisor Chat enabled were not reflected in Ask Insight Advisor.
QCB-33964	Security Improvement: Sentencepiece Library Upgrade	We have upgraded the Sentencepiece library used in our product from version 0.1.99 to 0.2.1 to address a security vulnerability. This update helps protect our customers' data and systems.

QCB-33782	Enable CPU Overload Tracker on Windows	Enabled CPU overload tracker related to Saturated property in /engine/healthcheck REST endpoint. Engine will now set Saturated to true if the Engine service is going over the CPU threshold. More about the Saturated flag see: Qlik Online Help
QCB-33776	Consistent Selection Order for Always One Value	The selection order for "Always One Selected Value" selections is now loaded correctly when opening an app. Previously, the order would update as soon as a new selection was made, potentially shuffling the order in which the selections were displayed to the user. This has been corrected, so the selection order will now be maintained based on the order of the fields, providing a more consistent experience.
QCB-33775	Exploration Menu: Scroll Position Preserved	The Exploration menu no longer refreshes when you make selections. This prevents the scroll position from resetting to the top of the menu, allowing users to maintain their place in the list.

QCB-33731	Improved Details for Master Item Filters	We’ve improved the details shown when clicking the information icon for filter panes that are also master items. Previously, the details were not displaying correctly. Now, all relevant details are properly shown in the details dialog.
QCB-33716	Listbox background image issue fixed	We fixed an issue where users would encounter a login prompt when using a background image in a Listbox, if the site was configured to use a virtual proxy.
QCB-33669	Data Load Editor Performance Enhancement	Data Load Editor (DLE) has been improved, reducing initial load time. The change prevents data preview from displaying previously loaded data upon opening DLE. Instead, clicking the "Preview data" button displays loaded data. This change: 1. Decreases the time it takes for the Data Load Editor to become usable 2. Speeds up the rendering of the Data connections panel
QCB-33657	Desktop Connectors: Fixed MSI directory resolution	The Desktop Connectors MSI now always sets the root directory to a fixed LocalAppData-based path, regardless of whether the overall Desktop product was installed via a "clean" or "custom" install.
QCB-33614	Updated version of body-parser	Updating body-parser to mitigate known vulnerabilities.
QCB-33612	Resolved issue with syntax highlighting for empty strings	We fixed a problem in the Qlik language parser that caused syntax highlighting to break when using empty double-quoted strings (""). This issue has now been resolved.
QCB-33610	Qlik Engine: Fixed unexpected behavior with complex dynamic properties	We resolved an issue where the getLayout function would cause engine crashes when evaluating complex structures of dynamic properties under a qHyperCubeDef.
QCB-33609	Visualizations: Fix on invalid visualization name	We've added a sanity check to prevent crashes when an invalid visualization name is encountered. This issue previously caused the master items section to fail to open.
QCB-33579	Data Load Editor: Consistent date display with Data Model Viewer and Sheets	Previously, the Data Load Editor would sometimes display dates differently than what was shown in the Data Model Viewer or Sheets. This mismatch occurred in scenarios where dates were used as primary keys. Specific properties have now been added to the Data Load Editor to ensure consistent date display and sorting, so the row IDs are handled correctly across the different components.
QCB-33538	Engine: Reload memory limit respected	The Join clause during Reload now respects the configured memory limit, preventing out-of-memory issues.
QCB-33534	Window Function: Improved Handling of If-Statements	We've resolved an issue where if-statements with a window function nested in the condition expression were being evaluated before the window function calculations were completed, resulting in incorrect results.
QCB-33526	Fixed issue with exporting data	The download option is now available in the context menu when right-clicking on a chart, as long as the exportData capability is enabled.
QCB-33516	Fixed Security Vulnerability in qs Package	The qs package in Qlik Sense has been updated to address a security vulnerability. This update resolves the issue and improves the overall security of the Qlik Sense platform.
QCB-33483	Bar Chart: Increased tooltip line capacity	The bar chart tooltip now displays more lines of information.
QCB-33453	Qlik Sense: issue with update axis values when zooming	When zooming in/out of a scatter plot and then returning to the home state, the axis' ticks values are now properly updated.
QCB-33432	ws: Mitigate Known Vulnerabilities	This update addresses several security vulnerabilities discovered in the ws component. The changes made in this release help protect against potential exploits by improving the handling of certain input data. Customers are encouraged to update to this version to ensure their systems remain secure.
QCB-33390	Visualization: Fixed sorting issue	We've addressed an issue where the sorting order of data was not displaying correctly when viewing visualizations.
QCB-33354	Rollbar: Security enhancements	Updated Rollbar to address potential vulnerabilities, improving overall system security.
QCB-33302	Data Manager: Unique data connections required	Previously, in Data manager, it was possible to create more than one data connection with the same name and type. Data connections of the same name and type, within the same space were affected. This has been fixed so that each data connection name and type must be unique when added from Data manager. If a user attempts to add a data connection with the name and type of an existing connection, an error message will display after clicking the Create button.
QCB-33297	Map Chart: Optimized sheet loading process	Resolved an issue where map chart requests were sent prematurely during sheet load. The client now sends requests to maps.qlikcloud.com only when the map chart is loaded, improving overall performance and resource utilization.
QCB-33296	Pivot Table: Fixed text overflow	Text in the pivot table would overflow if indent mode was used in combination with two measures. This issue has been resolved.
QCB-33292	Visualization: Added padding to filter pane title	We've added padding around to the left for consistency.
QCB-33289	Visualization: Fixed issue with blue focus border in collapsed Listbox	The blue focus border that appears when a user interacts with a Listbox visualization was sometimes getting mispositioned when the Listbox was in a collapsed state. This issue has been resolved."
QCB-33288	Enhanced 500 internal error message	We've simplified the content on the 500 internal error page by removing the URL. This change improves clarity and adheres to security best practices by not exposing potentially sensitive information.
QCB-33270	Custom theme resolution improved	Custom themes were not properly applied in certain environments due to differences in API endpoints. This issue has been resolved, ensuring that QlikEmbed UIs now correctly display custom themes across all supported platforms.
QCB-33261	On-Demand Reportin extension error	The “On-demand Reporting” extension in the Dashboard bundle stopped functioning due to seemingly unrelated updates. The extension failed to detect the platform it was running on, which meant it defaulted to a generic error. A fix is now in place so that the extension functions again as expected.
QCB-33253	Windows Server: Published item owner info added	We've added the ability to view the owner information for published items on the Windows server.
QCB-33193	Line Chart: Fixed legend color issue	Resolved an issue in line charts with two dimensions and custom coloring where legend colors were sometimes displayed incorrectly.
QCB-33182	Engine Performance Improved with SMB 3.0.2	A third-party library update enables the use of RequireSecureSigning in conjunction with SMB 3.0.2.
QCB-33173	Optimize white space	Update extreme values of measure axis to reduce white space.
QCB-33163	Qlik Sense Visualizations: Problems displaying URLs with a '+' character in straight tables	The '+' character was encoded in links for the straight tables, causing problems when displaying URLs. We stopped encoding this character, so the URL is able to use the '+' character now.
QCB-33162	Insight Advisor: Date field recognition in Qlik Embed	Fixed an issue where Insight Advisor failed to recognize Date fields when using Qlik Embed: For published apps or users without update permissions, only library items are accessible when no business logic is applied. When business logic is applied, users can freely use fields regardless of app publication status or update permissions.
QCB-33159	Improved Pivot Table Handling of Null Values	Resolved an issue where pivot tables containing null dimension values exhibited unexpected behavior during collapse and expand operations.
QCB-33112	Table: Scrollbar whitespace	When users selected only a few rows in a table, the scrollbar disappeared, but the whitespace around it remained, making the last part of the table appear clipped. This issue has now been fixed.
QCB-33102	Qlik Engine: Enhanced Nested Dynamic Variable Handling	Resolved an issue related to nested dynamic variables within qHyperCubeDef. Previously, the getLayout function was inadvertently overwriting value expression data with the evaluated value when used in nested dynamic variables.
QCB-33059	Task Triggers: Expanded Validation for Custom CRON Strings	We've expanded the validation for custom CRON strings used in task triggers. The changes allow values from 0-59 for the minutes position and 0-23 for the hours position.
QCB-33043	Visualizations: Master item prioritization for ambiguous names	Enhanced the selection logic in hypercubes. When a measure refers to a name shared by both a master item and a field, the system now prioritizes the master item.
QCB-33034	Hypercube: Fixed measure evaluation without dimensions	Resolved an issue where simple field measures without aggregation were not properly evaluated in dimensionless hypercubes. The evaluation now correctly follows the Only() rule.
QCB-33031	Measures: Fixed evaluation of simple fields with NULL values	Resolved an issue where hypercubes containing only simple field dimensions and measures without aggregation incorrectly evaluated to NULL. Now, when a measure contains one value plus NULL, it correctly returns the actual value instead of NULL.
QCB-33029	Multi-Session: Fixed OneAndOnlyOne Property Setting Issue	Fixed an issue where users couldn't set the OneAndOnlyOne property to false in multi-session scenarios. Previously, SetNxProperties failed to update this property. The fix eliminates the need for a GetNxProperties call before setting the property.
QCB-33027	Logout option now available for users with apostrophes in username	Addressed an issue where the Logout option was missing for hub users with an apostrophe (') character in their username. This fix ensures that usernames containing allowed special characters will see the Logout option as expected.
QCB-32980	REST Connector test connection issue	Fixed an issue where Test Connection in the Qlik REST Connector ignored encrypted header values and succeeded using stored credentials; it now validates using the credentials provided during the test
QCB-32943	Qlik Sense: Unable to make selections in Pivot Table using a touch device	Fixed an issue in the Pivot table from the Visualization bundle which prevent making selections on some touch devices.
QCB-32927	Legacy Table Sorting Option for Individual Apps	We've introduced a new script variable to give you more control over table sorting behavior in specific apps. Here's what you need to know: Variable name: QlikInternalSortKeyFieldTables Purpose: Enables legacy table sorting for individual apps Usage: Set the variable to 0 before loading any tables Syntax: SET QlikInternalSortKeyFieldTables=0; Important: The app must be reloaded for the change to take effect
QCB-32926	Window Functions: Improved Handling of Calculated Fields	We've resolved an issue with Window Functions. Previously, fields calculated in a preceding load statement were not properly recognized by Window Functions, causing them to be incorrectly interpreted as null values.
QCB-32884	Charts: Improved evaluation of simple field measures	Fixed an issue where charts using only simple fields as measures didn't always display the most recent values after selections. The HyperCube evaluation logic now validates Field State, ensuring charts show the latest field values when selections are made on associated fields.
QCB-32883	Sheet objects: Disappear after deleting another sheet	When two sheets reference the same object IDs, the objects will only be children of the first sheet (Sheet A). As long as Sheet A remains unchanged, there are no visible issues. However, if the objects or access to them are removed by changes to Sheet A (such as deletion), the objects will become "ghost objects" in the other sheet (Sheet B).
QCB-32813	Dimensions/Measures: Fixed access error for dynamic properties	Resolved a "State not found" error that occurred when accessing dimensions or measures containing dynamic properties using QIX internal type names (e.g., 'qSelectionObjectDef').
QCB-32784	PostgreSQL Security Update	New installations will be installed with embedded PostgreSQL version 14.22. When upgrading Qlik Sense the installed database will not be upgraded.
QCB-32730	Straight Table: Enhanced Expand/Collapse Functionality	In Fully Expanded mode, the expand and collapse buttons in Straight Tables are now visually disabled (grayed out) to indicate their inactive state.
QCB-32661	Pivot Table: Column width expression setting fixed	Fixed an issue in the Pivot Table where it was not possible to set the column width of a field as an expression.
QCB-32612	Simple Charts: Fixed Data Type Requirement Issue	We've resolved an issue with Simple Charts showing blank.
QCB-30908	Qlik Sense on Windows: Thumbnail not shown for on-demand app generation apps	Fixed an issue where the thumbnail of an ODAG (On-Demand App Generation) app was not displayed in Qlik Sense on Windows. Instead, the default Qlik Sense image was shown.
EN-6971	Engine setting for controlling receive timeout for qrs/dataconnections/all REST call	Added a setting for controlling receive timeout against the Repository endpoint qrs/dataconnections/all as this endpoint sometimes can take longer than 30 seconds to respond. Contact Qlik Product Support for guidance on adjusting this setting.
EC-1580	Address connector upgrade issues	This patch release addresses ODBC connection failures and slowness of loading connections in the Data Load Editor caused by missing or incorrect connector DLLs on upgrade. The DLL upgrade issues were caused by mis-numbered versions of the affected libraries. The version numbers have been corrected and upgrade will function as expected.
