Changelog 13.40
| Issue Type | Ticket | Summary |
|---|---|---|
| Improvement | CF-766 | The Chrome MV3 extension now implements the heartbeat to keep the service worker active. This reduces the 'fail close' error rate when users leave a device or don't use the Chrome browser for a period of time. |
| Bug | CF-790 | The 13.20 release had two manifest.json files: one in dist/manifest.json and another in dist/web/manifest.json. |
| Improvement | CF-798 | Converted the Client Filter Polaris Scanning tool to the new version of Polaris. |
| Bug | CF-802 | The Client Filter 12.60 to 13.30 would not immediately download the 'nMonitor kwscan' data if pointed to an 8.1 or older Policy Server. |
| Bug | CF-803 | The Client Filter Chrome MV3 extension 'fail close' mode could allow script generated content to be loaded after showing the 'Policy Server Unavailable' page. |
| Improvement | CF-804 | Added a new error page to display when the 'service worker' is unavailable from the content script Filtering. Previously, the Policy Service generic error page was used, causing difficulties providing root cause analyses. |
| Improvement | CF-805 | Refactor of the Netsweeper Client Filter Chrome MV3 extension to change 'Asyncify emscripten' code to 'Proxy Sync Ctx' to avoid complex global locking. |
