Issues fixed in FM 7.1 release

Question

Adobe FrameMaker 7.1 for English, French and German was released on January 10, 2004. The following is a list of issues fixed in this release.
250374
FDK: FA_Note_PreSetAttrValue notification not sent for new elements. If a client subscribes to FA_Note_PreSetAttrValue events, it will get a notification when one changes an attribute by double clicking it in the Structure view. However, on creation of a new element through the element catalog, if an attribute is set, no notification is sent.
This issue has been resolved.
277554
FDK: F_ApiUnStraddleCells() does not work as expected.
When unstraddling cells through the API, all the cells except the leading cell have no paragraph end marks (they are completely empty). Clicking into such cells takes the text cursor to the location of the table anchor. Inserting a character into the paragraph with the table anchor seems to correct the table.
This issue has been resolved.
310049
FDK: F_ApiImport shows a dialog upon import of SGML entities.
When importing an SGML fragment by reference using F_ApiImport, FrameMaker displays a dialog asking whether the text inset should be updated automatic or manually. This setting should be controlled from import-parameters.
Currently there is no way of creating a client that imports a large number of SGML text-insets without having a user sitting by the keyboard and clicking OK for each imported entity.
This issue has been resolved.
314764
FDK: F_ApiDelete does not work properly on elements inside a TextInset. When you try to delete an element that is part of a TextInset, the whole TextInset is removed.
The work around for this is to unlock the text before calling F_ApiDelete and to lock the text after this call. The calls to unlock and lock the text are given below:
To unlock - F_ApiSetInt(docId, insetId, FP_TiLocked, False);
To lock - F_ApiSetInt(docId, insetId, FP_TiLocked, True);

Non-unique ID tags cause inconsistent hypertext links due to multiple entries in the HTML export. If there are conflicting IDs in different documents of a book, non-unique ID tags are generated which cause this behavior.
This issue has been resolved.

This issue has been resolved.
529757
(don't include) Marker element gets included and merged in PDF bookmarks with previous heading. In FrameMaker 6.0, the document prints to PDF as expected--the bookmarks in Acrobat PDF contain the Section2/Heading as expected, such as:
Spark Plug Threads
and Lamp Base and Electrical Fixture Threads
In FrameMaker 7.0, the document prints to PDF with the Section2/Heading merged with the Run.head marker element, even though Run.head is in the ''Don't include'' list of elements in the PDF Setup dialog box.
This issue has been resolved.
534856

This issue has been resolved.

TaggedPDF:fmpdfreflow plug-in - display of PDF file not good for shaded table cells. When table cells have shading in them, the PDF file does not show all the content of the shaded cells. This happens on Windows only.
This issue has been resolved.

PDF generation on UNIX translates CMYK colors to RGB.
This issue has been resolved.
567784
FP_InsetFile has a value of "BadFileName" when SGML importing misses a graphic data file. If you import an SGML file that would read external graphic files and these data files are missing, then skipping or ignoring them results in "BadFileName" pathname for each object property. This makes FDK API Client not get FP_InsetFile property value for the FO_Inset object.
This issue has been resolved.

FrameMaker works very slowly or returns an internal error. When processing a document that includes many EPS image files, FrameMaker creates many FRMxxxx.tmp files in the C:\Documents and Settings\Account Name\Local Settings\temp\ folder. The xxxx is a hexadecimal number. Even after quitting FrameMaker, the FRMxxxx.tmp files are NOT deleted, and the same document creates different FRMxxxx.tmp files after being opened again. The template files pile up in the hard disk for the Account/user, until the xxxx reaches ffff, the maximum number for the 4 digits of a hexadecimal number. At or near this time, FrameMaker works very slowly or stops with internal error:7004,6643018,6765315,6712018.
This issue has been resolved.

The text in the markers gets included in the PDF Bookmarks. Do not include textual content of marker elements, such as Index markers. This is because if you do, the Acrobat bookmarks can appear created if the element has:
where Indexterm contains the marker text:
<$startrange>PDF Creation;<$endrange>PDF:Good;How To:Create Good PDF
... You will end up with an Acrobat Bookmark containing:
How To Create <$startrange>PDF Creation;<$endrange>PDF:Good;How To:Create Good PDFGood PDF ... which is not desirable.
This issue has been resolved.

footnote element mapping to Frame Footnote is commented in Rules defined for XDocBook. In application definition of XDocBook in $FMHOME/structure/xml/xdocbook/app, footnote element mapping is to FM Footnote element. However, this rule is commented since past few releases. As a result, any (xdocbook) XML document with footnote is shown as invalid in FrameMaker.
This issue has been resolved.
624472
Revision remark (revremark) element is mapped to different element names in EDD and rules. Rules for XDocBook in $FMHOME/structure/xml/xdocbook/app translate revremark to RevRemark. However, EDD (ECM) defines Revremark as mapping for revremark element. Hence a valid xdocbook XML document with revremark is shown as invalid (with unknown RevRemark element) in FrameMaker.

Read this SAP Note - Note 1487853 - SAP NetWeaver MDM 7.1 SP07 Release

Similaryly read for SP06 fixes at - http://help.sap.com/saphelp_mdm71/helpdata/en/be/e0048b426b4c20957078b61ec71e46/content.htm
These links gives you an idea of what all changes are going to come into your new system. So unless you upgrade to SP07 i.e. the latest version and test it in DEV/Sandbox environment you should not plan to move ahead in Production. This is always recommended but there is very less chance that the already working solution will not work as expected after the upgrade.
