Enhancements to browser interview functionality impact your end users most. The same is true of software issues that affect your end users' experience with your templates and interviews. We annotate both improvements and concerns here (except bug fixes, which are annotated in the appropriate Readme or Release Notes file), so that you can alert your customers to the enhancements and issues that affect their user experience.
When constructing Silverlight interview dialogs long enough to grow scroll bars, be aware that users of browsers other than Internet Explorer (for example: FireFox, Chrome, and all Macintosh browsers) cannot use their mouse wheel to scroll. Mouse wheel events from browsers using the Netscape Plugin Application Programming Interface (NPAPI) are not recognized by the Silverlight windowless mode used by HotDocs to support pop ups. Users of these browsers must scroll using their scroll bars, not their mouse wheels. For more information, see http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd759034(v=vs.95).aspx#platform_dependencies.
On Windows, Silverlight is supported on Internet Explorer, FireFox, and Chrome.
On Macintosh systems, Silverlight is supported only on Safari : to use Safari to view Silverlight interviews, you need to change a setting in your preferences. Navigate to Safari> Preferences> Advanced; then deselect Stop plug-ins to save power.
Text watermarks do not work with any browser-based services (such as HotDocs Server or HotDocs Cloud Services). To adapt your watermark for browser-based deployments, turn your text watermark into an image; then use Microsoft Word's picture watermark feature instead of a text watermark.
You can now use the "Automatically select this option if variable is unanswered when displayed" option on a multiple choice option containing quotation marks.
