The function MutualInfo() calculates the mutual information between two fields.
It is now possible to hide tabs in the container object. The object will show the first non-hidden object.
The Mekko chart can now show totals on top of each segment stack.
Support for the QVF file format was introduced already in the May 2021 version. With the May 2022 version the QVF format will be the default file format for new documents. The old QVW file format will still work and will be the default save format for existing QVWs.
If a server has two documents with the same base name but different extensions, the QVW will be inactivated. The meta and shared files will however be used also by the QVF.
There is no cross-compatibility between QlikView QVF files and Qlik Sense QVF files.
The QlikView Server services have been upgraded to .NET 4.8.
Previously, the Doc Admin cache was just in memory and was erased if the QMS service was restarted. Now the cache is persisted in a database.
Previously, the QlikView Server have had the functionality to send an email alert if any of the tasks would fail on the reload. Now we have added possibility to also include tasks that finished with warnings.
The 'Log collector' tool developed by the Qlik Support has now been integrated into the QlikView QMC. For a clustered environment, there are some limitations: Only the logs from QVS and QDS are collected.
The user document, created in a Loop and Reduce process, now contains information about the task name and last execution time. This is found in the document support information.
The system requirements for this release can be found under “System requirements” on the Qlik help web site. https://help.qlik.com/en-US/qlikview/May2022/Content/QV_HelpSites/System-requirements.htm
There are no upgrade notes for this release.
The following issues and limitations were identified at release time. The list is not comprehensive; it does however list all known major issues and limitations.
In previous versions, it has been possible to use links beginning with ‘qvp://’ to access QlikView files from a browser. This is no longer possible. Such links however still work when used by QlikView Desktop.

HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) is a policy mechanism that helps to protect websites against man-in-the-middle attacks such as protocol downgrade attacks and cookie hijacking.
In previous versions, a dialog opens off-screen if it at a prior time was used on a second monitor. This has now been changed. The dialog is now moved so that at least a part of it is visible on the existing monitor.
There is now the possibility to disable the RC4 encryption and only use AES128. The benefit is stricter security, however with the limitation that the 'Open In Server' command cannot be used on some Windows versions due to limitations in these operating systems. This also prevents all use of the QlikView IE Plugin client on these operating systems.
To disable the RC4 encryption, you need to make changes in the configuration files. See the following support article: https://community.qlik.com/t5/Official-Support-Articles/Disable-RC4-stream-cipher-in-QlikView-May-20...
