There is a new feature EOL Format on the Home tab of the Ribbon allowing the user to fix or change EOL formats.
3rd party library upgrades

Update to use Microsoft .NET 8.0 Desktop Runtime 8.0.11 which is installed as a pre-requisite.

Update to use Analysis Package GLAP_2024_04-PD9.12.0 which are the libraries used to convert the Documentation file formats.

Enhancements:

Linefeeds with LF format in XML files are preserved and not converted to CRLF on extraction.
The original order of XML attributes is now maintained and alphabetical sorting no longer takes place.
When .NET forms containing duplicate IDs are detected on opening a ttk, Catalyst now reports this anomaly and an option on the Navigator right click menu allows resolving the issue.
.properties files which contain html markup can now be segmented on markup tags e.g. <br> or <p>.
New string list filter for Segmented Text which displays all segmented strings in the string list when selected.
Document Formats within .NET files now supported and parsed into Catalyst.
XML Interactive Alignment - IDs and markup columns displayed to help with better alignment matching.
TBX glossary - if a translated term is 'forbidden' or blacklisted, this can be validated against and a status shown in the Glossary pane.
Preview text rules on insertion is now available in the same way as for XML files.
Algorithm when applying keywords in segments which contain HTML tags enhanced to better mark up some results.
When multiple items are selected in the Navigator Tree, a count of the number is shown to the user in the Status bar.

Bug Fixes:

Glossary - Catalyst times out because of keyword but only for one string in heavily tagged segment - resolved.
ezScript Leverage - /D switch now loads the default leverage settings before the leverage task starts.
Character references now maintained on extraction when in embedded HTML files within Excel, Text or JSON file formats.
Strings that are passed to Acrolinx for verification sometimes had lower case letters converted to upper case - resolved.
