July 2024 Release Hotfix 2
This Hotfix 2 for the July 2024 release replaces Hotfix 1, which caused an error during the update of some older versions when the July 2024 release was not installed beforehand.
Additionally, it resolves an issue that occurred after opening BIM models from the Property Explorer, as well as minor content-related anomalies.
The original Hotfix 1 for the July 2024 release resolves an issue with logging in to the Microsoft Azure AD service via OAuth2.
If you do not use this type of login, you do not need to take any action. You can identify this by the presence of a "Sign in with Microsoft" button on the login page.
What should you do if:
1. You are a hosting customer with eTASK?
You don’t need to do anything; eTASK will automatically install the new version for you.
2. You use the software on your own server and have not yet installed the July 2024 release?
Download the July 2024 Hotfix 2 directly. All changes from the July 2024 release will be installed cumulatively.
3. You use the software on your own server and have already installed the July 2024 release?
Download the July 2024 Release Hotfix 2 and install it if you are affected by any of the changes.
Installation of Hotfix 2 is required for a later update to the September 2024 release
eTASK.BIM
Bug fix: Reloading after opening a model
A behavior has been fixed whereby, after opening a BIM model via the magnifying glass in the Property Explorer, the next selection of any menu item caused the entire eTASK interface to reload. Magnifying glasses in other locations were not affected by this behavior.
eTASK.MyApp/Inventory
Bug Fix: Photo Saving Error in the Inventory App on Windows 11
Due to a change in Windows 11, it was temporarily no longer possible to transfer images from the Microsoft Camera app to the eTASK.WinApp/Inventory. This was resolved by re-releasing the app in the Microsoft Store. In this case, you do not need to install this hotfix separately; you can use the new app from the Store with the July 2024 release.

Bug Fix: Complaints Regarding Incoming Invoices
A bug has been fixed that prevented journal entries from being fully adjusted during the complaint process for an incoming invoice.
