Written by coolorange | Feb 4, 2025 9:21:50 AM

Discover the latest updates to our products, designed to make your experience smoother and more efficient. Our development team has been hard at work fixing issues, boosting performance, and adding powerful new features. These improvements aren’t just about making things better—they’re about helping you work smarter and overcome challenges with ease. Explore what’s new and see how these updates can enhance the way you use our tools.

powerGate v25

  • Compatibility Issue: Upgrading to v25 may cause errors when opening custom ERP dialogs (Create, Change, Insert, Link ERP Item). This happens due to the renaming of the powerGate_256px.ico file (see v25.0.5 breaking change).

  • Improved Logging:

    • PowerShell ERRORs are now logged clearly without unnecessary WARN messages.

    • More detailed logs for exceptions in coolOrange.PowerShell.Cmdlets can be enabled by switching to DEBUG mode.

Check your ERP integrations after upgrading to ensure smooth operation.

 

powerGate Server v25

  • License Manager Change: The Windows Start Menu now shows the coolOrange-wide License Manager instead of the powerGateServer License Information shortcut.

  • New Product Icon: We’ve introduced a simpler, more recognizable icon for better consistency across our products.

  • Improved Console Logs: WARN messages now have a different color to make them easier to spot.

  • Updated .NET Requirement: The minimum required .NET Framework version is now 4.8.

 

powerJobs Processor v25

  • Folder Job Settings & Triggers: You can now configure Job Settings and Triggers for jobs designed for Vault Folders. (Requires powerJobs Client v25.0.13 or newer on workstations.)

  • Better Plugin Compatibility: Shared third-party libraries (like log4net) are no longer installed in the GAC but are now merged to prevent conflicts with other plugins and products.

  • Easier-to-Read Logs: WARN messages in the console now have a clearer color for better visibility.

These updates improve customization, compatibility, and usability for a smoother experience!

 

powerPLM v25

  • Shared third-party Libraries (e.g. log4net) are no longer installed into the GAC but are now merged to avoid conflicts with other products and plugins.

  • Changed color for WARN log messages in Console to make them easier to read.

 

powerVault

  • Optimized performance by reducing Vault API calls for retrieving folders in the following cmdlets:

    • Update-VaultFile -AddChilds, -Childs, -RemoveChilds, -AddAttachments, -Attachments and -RemoveAttachments

    • Update-VaultItem -AddAttachments, -Attachments and -RemoveAttachments

  • Fixed: Compatibility issue with other coolOrange products that use an older Logging version and redirect logs to the corresponding product
