The formate eVo installer is now signed by a new certificate authority

Various fixes for the Plugin use and management, and Reviewer.

Dashboard and Web Monitor Server task “last run” reporting improved.

MS O365 email connection improvements in-line with MS changes and requirements.

T3LPD service depreciated and removed from install.

With the release of Formate eVo 24.6 we have removed the optional LPD Server utility that was previously packaged with eVo fulfilling the intention we announced some months ago

We are choosing to focus on where we can add value, and as the T3LPD service is not in common use we have removed it from the installation package. It is standalone, and the only impact on eVo itself will be the removal of the help topics.

Excellent and superior LPD servers are available such as those from Brooksnet , RPM Select and Elite,

RPM Remote Print Manager Select | Brooksnet

Although there are others, Brooksnet are leading providers in the LPD server market place, and bring the necessary focus and expertise to provide best in class products.

The latest release of Formate eVo (24.6) , is the first to have the install executable signed by a new provider.

As a consequence the details are changed from the previous name and provider, “Extra Resource Limited”, issued by DigiCert, Timestamp 2024 to the new sdetails, “Document Genetics (Extra Resource Ltd)” , issued by Sectigo Public Time Stamping Signer R36

How time flies! Back in 2024 we reported,

“Unusually Formate eVo v24 will continue for a few more months into 2025.

This is to allow us to review the underlying .NET basis of eVo and evaluate the work needed to move from the classic .NET framework (4.8.xx) as used now to .NET v8 (Core).

Alongside this we are going to take the chance to review the design and layout of Dashboard, with an aim of a freshen up and simplification, as we have to admit it has grown a little “cluttered” over the years.”

Well the good news, it is going great, the bad news it is taking longer than hoped. This is because we are doing a bit more than planned, and we have not stood still with the current framework based family, so put together the year has caught up with us.

We expect to have further news by the middle of 2026, until then watch out for new members of the v24.xx family
