Fixes and Improvements
Support for SQL Server 2012 and 2014 has been dropped, making SQL Server 2016 the minimum supported version.
Terminals, User Interfaces
Prevented installing the terminal with the Payment feature enabled on Ricoh IM 2702 devices, as payment is only supported on Ricoh SOP G2.5+ models with SmartSDK ≥ 3. This avoids reservation failures on IM 2702 where only “stop on zero” cannot be reliably supported. (SBT-5283)
Improved Sharp ET scan reliability by allowing a new scan to start only when no previous job is still being processed, displaying a clear error screen if the device is busy. (SBT-5307)
Fixed HP embedded terminal authentication registration so the Sign-in method list shows only a single entry (even when Card, PIN, and Username/Password combinations are installed) instead of duplicate records. (SBT-5364)
Installation and Administration
Management now reuses the existing proxy configuration (useProxy, proxyUser, proxyEndpoint, proxyPassword, proxyAuthenticate) for all external communication. This enables user-based authentication on scan connectors in environments running behind a proxy. (SQC-8736)
Data synchronization issue between components fixed. The issue affecting cache data storage may result in the loss of statistical data and job history, and the inability to see far-roaming print jobs on the terminal. (SBT-5380)
CLI User Replicator USERUPDATE now handles non-existent users consistently with PINCARD by avoiding generic HTTP 500 failures and instead reporting which records were applied, along with a clear “user does not exist” error. Missing users are either explicitly logged and skipped or cause an informative abort, ensuring batch updates don’t silently partially apply without actionable feedback. (SBT-4591)
Fixed an issue where IMS Proxy could not start because IMS Server failed to load proxy configuration. (SBT-5362)
Fixed an issue where editing the default entitlement would fail. (SBT-5384)
Fixed upgrade pre-checks on MSSQL. (SBT-5361)
Fixed an issue where Client V3 auto-update could get stuck after a failed download on unstable networks, preventing further retries and leaving the client unresponsive until the Spooler service was restarted. (SBT-5283)
Adjusted V3 client retry logic to prevent excessive network traffic when Job Service is unavailable. (SBT-5367)
Printing
Improved handling of large LPR submissions from FPS to prevent duplicate print jobs. (SBT-5370)
Fixed an issue where Client V3 Emergency printers could be missing due to incorrectly cached access tokens. (SBT-5372)
Improved Client V3 batch printing reliability for KM devices over IPP/IPPS by handling interrupted job data sends with retry and proper failure reporting, preventing jobs from getting stuck in Printing. (SBT-5375)
Updated Client V3 IPP print job monitoring behavior so jobs that fail during transfer are no longer polled indefinitely. (SBT-5376)
Fixed Client V3 issue in Emergency Print where saving recently used devices after a successful print could fail when delete-after-print and Offline Print were enabled and recent-device storage was on. (SBT-5385)
Client V3 now immediately reflects changes to the Emergency Print (Offline Print) enable/disable setting without requiring a restart. (SBT-5392)
Scanning
WPS now correctly handles SMTP credentials provided as domain\username by preserving the full username for authentication. (SBT-5393)
Security Mitigation and Enhancements
Updated the bundled MSSQL JDBC driver to the latest version, introducing TLS certificate validation (the server certificate must now be provided to the installer or an insecure flag explicitly used with a warning). Support for SQL Server 2012 and 2014 has been dropped, making SQL Server 2016 the minimum supported version and preventing direct automated upgrades from SafeQ 5 on those databases (PostgreSQL unaffected). (SBT-5329)
Added a new ACL permission, “Reporting – view own job list,” enabled by default to maintain backward compatibility. When disabled by an administrator, users can no longer view their own job list in Reporting or via the dashboard widget, supporting stricter GDPR-related access requirements. (SBT-5317)
Various security mitgations (SBT-5360, SBT-5369)
Embedded PostgreSQL was updated to version 18.2 (SBT-5353)
Product extensions (or customizations)
Customers who use YSoft SafeQ extensions or customizations should contact their Y Soft RSM or Customer Support Services for compatibility verification with the new Build. We recommend testing all extensions before applying a Build update into a production environment.
