Summary
Version 17 includes several new features and a number of bug fixes: What's new in version 17?
During the pre-release period, testing focussed on the following areas of the system:
Automatic tagging of references
Version 17 includes a number of significant improvements to the Tag x-refs function. Lawmaker will now identify both internal and external references and tag them.
Our testing focused on the new behaviour of the automatic tagging function in a variety of document types, using real-world documents. Where references were missed or tagged incorrectly, we worked with the development team to refine the tagging algorithm further. We have included those refinements in the final Version 17 deployment.
Documents containing the newly tagged references were then used in end-to-end tests, to ensure that existing Lawmaker functionality is unaffected by the refinements to the automatic tagging function and the tags generated by that function.
Generation of citation footnotes in SIs
Version 17 gives users the ability to automatically generate citation footnotes in SIs. The content and format of these footnotes was tested using real SI content
Issues found during testing
We identified a problem with the tag x-refs function and the ‘remove reference tag’ action which affected some references in documents containing line numbering. Where a reference extended over the end of a line, using the automatic tagging function or the ‘remove reference tag’ action (from the right-click menu or the floating toolbar) would sometimes remove both the XML tags and the textual content of the reference. Only the reference tags should be removed. This has now been fixed.
We identified a bug which prevented images displaying in the Editor. This has been fixed.
