Fixes and minor improvements

Description of change

Reference

Performance improvements have been made to the Select dependencies function in the Create Package wizard and Modify Package wizard in the Release Manager. The improvements include a significant reduction in the time taken to display all components associated to a selected item (such as processes, objects, work queues, credentials and environment variables) in large environments.

BP-4436 (BP‑4776)

A change introduced in 6.8.0 under BG-4494 that prevented Action stages from adding item tags to locked work queue items, incorrectly prevented sub-processes and objects from tagging work queue items locked by their parent process. A fix has been applied to allow sub-processes and objects to successfully tag work queue items that are locked by their parent processes.

BP-4044 (BP‑4775)

The additional Tesseract third-party prerequisite libraries are now included in the Blue Prism installer. These are required for Optical Character Recognition (OCR) in processes where the Read Text with OCR option is selected for a Region element in a Read action. Previously, in deployments using Blue Prism 6.5 or later, processes using OCR failed and a Tesseract system error displayed, informing the user that the program could not start due to missing DLLs.

BP-4531

An intermittent issue has been fixed where a web page, or content embedded in a web page, attempted to connect to the Chrome, Edge, or Firefox browser extension before the extension had loaded, which resulted in the process failing to run.

BP-4835

Browser extensions

Browser extensions allow Blue Prism to interact with web pages and applications presented in a browser, so that business processes that include such applications and web pages can easily be modeled.
