A Quick Guide to ScriptX 8.0

This article is a quick guide to the features and updates made to ScriptX 8.0.

Line by line information on new features, updates and fixes are available on the full history log.

Do I need to upgrade?

No, but obviously, you should also update if this release provides new features you need or resolves issues you have encountered (see the history).

Are there any breaking changes?

Yes, if :

• You are using Enhanced PDF printing.

  Please see Installing Enhanced PDF Printing for details.

• You have compiled an application that references an older version.

  The Type Library is now v8 but is backwards compatible. You will only need to edit source if you have variables directly declared to older interfaces.

  Simply update references to the new Type Library and if required change variable declarations to the latest interface versions. The interfaces themselves are backwards compatible.

  You should not have to change any other code, simply re-compile.

What's new?

ScriptX 8 is built for Internet Explorer 11 making it a leaner release and introduces separation of installers for Enhanced PDF Printing.

A new feature is the ability to control the smallest scale factor that will be used when scaling content to fit.

It also brings together all the bug fixes made since the release of ScriptX 7.7.

If you require to continue support for earlier versions of Internet Explorer then continue to use ScriptX 7.7 which continues to be maintained but not actively developed.
