To prevent issues when certain fonts are missing from the terminal machines you are automating, the default fallback font has been changed to Consolas.

We have added support for SCO ANSI and Tandem T653x terminals in the Terminal Session activity.

Starting with this update, the Terminal Activities pack now supports automating in ANSI terminal emulation.

Resolution change support has been added for Direct Connection and HLLAPI providers.

In order to offer a more reliable and versatile solution for creating automation processes with Terminals, the Terminal Activities Pack now harnesses TurboSoft'sTTwin OCX interface, which significantly improves the way Windows-based applications access legacy software systems.

We have further increased language support by adding Turkish, Portuguese (Portugal), Spanish (Latin America), and Spanish (Spain) to the list of languages present in the UiPath Platform.

Three new languages, German, South Korean, and Portuguese are available for the UiPath.Terminal.Activities package.

We want to reach out to the entire world and make automation a language everyone can speak. So, starting with this release, the entire platform is available in Chinese.

To align with the Package Signing feature, the Terminal activities pack has been officially signed by UiPath.

This new year brings two more languages in the entire UiPath Platform - French and Russian. Since we layed down the foundations of localization in our previous release, we are continuing our efforts in bringing you a more immersive experience and lowering the language barrier bit by bit.

The moment is finally here - the entire UiPath Platform has been localized, so that you can have a truly immersive experience, from install to design and execution. Now, besides English, you can access everything, including our online documentation, in Japanese.
