🚀 Upgrade Hazelcast for Enhanced Security

[Security] In this release, we upgraded Hazelcast to address a critical security vulnerability in version 4.2. This flaw allowed a remote unauthenticated attacker to manipulate data in the cluster with another user's identity. The vulnerability (CRIT 9.1 NVD - CVE-2022-36437) has been fixed, ensuring a more secure environment. #AR-16890

🔧 Fix for Shared NFS Configuration Issues

[Issue] We have resolved problems in environments where ARender Rendition servers were configured to use a shared NFS. Previously, features like document merging and image comparison were not working properly. These issues have now been fixed. #AR-15926 #TMAPR-5693 #TMAPR-5694 #TMAPR-5722 #TMAPR-5737 #TMAPR-5772

📄 Improved Word Document Viewing

[Improvement] We have upgraded DirectOffice to fix an issue with viewing Word documents in ARender. Previously, "X" marks were missing from checkboxes in the viewer, which has now been corrected. #AR-16878 #TMAPR-5655

🚑 Stability Fix for Broker Service

[Issue] A bug causing the search function to get stuck for 2 minutes, leading to a status change in the Broker (ARender Rendition micro-service) from Healthy to Unhealthy, has been fixed. This issue previously caused the orchestrator to kill the service, resulting in an interruption. The service is now stable and runs smoothly. #AR-16901 #TMAPR-5762
