-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Version = 1.1.9.4
Build date = November 2023
ESS Level = LCD8-2010-33
****************************** ATTENTION ******************************
 This update includes critical security fixes for the following CVEs:
    CVE-2023-45182
    CVE-2023-45184
    CVE-2023-45185
 IBM strongly recommends upgrading to 1.1.9.4.
 It is not recommended to run versions before 1.1.9.4.  But if you do,
 you might get unexpected prompts for credentials when you are also
 using a version before 1.1.9.4 at the same time (on the same workstation).
 Special instructions:
 In addition to updating acsbundle.jar on all platforms, any deployment
 on Windows that uses acslaunch_win-XX.exe (where XX=32 or 64) to start ACS,
 also needs to update acslaunch_win-XX.exe, acsnative.dll and acspcoc.exe.
 acslaunch_win-XX.exe, acsnative.dll and acspcoc.exe are updated
 automatically when you use any of the following methods to update ACS:
    1. An installation script in the Windows_Application folder
    2. A configured IBM i location with the command-line
         plugin "installupdates"
    3. A configured IBM i location with "Install Update"
         from the ACS main GUI (available from Help->About, "Check for Updates"
         when an IBM i location is configured for updates)
 
All other deployments on Windows that use these exe and dll files
 need to make sure the most recent versions of these files are being used.
 Failure to use these updated exe and dll files in combination with
 acsbundle.jar might result in a failed connection to the IBM i host.
 
 ****************************** ATTENTION ******************************
Enhancements:
1. Run SQL Scripts:
   - Syntax support for ENCRYPT_AES256 scalar function.
   - Insert from Examples extended for additions to SYSTOOLS
   - Recent files can be viewed with Alt+F R <#>                    https://ibm-power-systems.ideas.ibm.com/ideas/IBMI-I-3842
2. Schemas:
   - Added Details action to SQL Packages.
3. SQL Performance Center:
   - Improve usability of SQL Performance Monitor wizard when 
     selecting a specific job.                                                            https://ibm-power-systems.ideas.ibm.com/ideas/IBMI-I-1624
4. IFS:
   - Option from GUI to allow Sending and Pasting files to other
     systems through user's workstation when QFileSvr.400 prevents
     a direct transfer.
   - Upload option to Store to UTF-8 text file.                          https://ibm-power-systems.ideas.ibm.com/ideas/IBMI-I-3711
5. Emulator:
   - Add date and timestamp to Status History Log.               https://ibm-power-systems.ideas.ibm.com/ideas/IBMI-I-3778
   - Automatic copy function should not keep trim rectangle.
                                                                                                             https://ibm-power-systems.ideas.ibm.com/ideas/IBMI-I-3768
6. HMC Probe Utility
   - When connecting to a 5250 console, allow default SSL setting
     to be changed.                                                                            https://ibm-power-systems.ideas.ibm.com/ideas/IBMI-I-3813
7. General:
   - Check for Updates should provide a better error message when
     an internet connection is not available.                               https://ibm-power-systems.ideas.ibm.com/ideas/IBMI-I-3469
   - Support for a larger font size throughout ACS.                  https://ibm-power-systems.ideas.ibm.com/ideas/IBMI-I-1567
     To enable, set the property com.ibm.iaccess.FontSize.     
     The maximum size allowed is 25.
     This support is being made available for convenience and AS-IS.
     IBM is under no obligation to fix rendering issues that occur
     when setting this property.  Some known limitations are:
     a. text in some combo boxes and tabs might not display the entire
         text depending on the OS and font size
     b. text within the 5250 display area is unchanged (use 5250
          specific settings)
     c. text within the Run SQL Script editor pane is unchanged (use
          View->Font...)
     d. icons and other graphics remain unchanged

General Announcement:
FIPS compliance checking will not be supported in a future update.  As the requirements for FIPS compliance change and the
Java Runtime Environment (JRE) evolves, it no longer makes sense for IBM i Access Client Solutions (ACS) to attempt to
verify whether or not the JRE supports FIPS compliance.  The check box "Client SSL must be FIPS-compliant" currently
available at Edit-->Preferences will be removed in a future update.  Beginning with this update, if this option is checked,
a warning is displayed when visiting the Preferences panel informing the user that this option will be removed in a
future update.

This update includes several fixes including:
SE79815 OSP OSPM DISPLAY HANGS AND DOESN'T COMPLETE

     https://ibm-power-systems.ideas.ibm.com/ideas/IBMI-I-3481
     Note: To eliminate the extra terminal window when using ACS Desktop shortcuts or file associations, you must run the installation script for your installation located in the Windows_Application folder for this update or later.
General information about this update:
1. When using "Help->Check for Updates" to monitor IBM's web location for the next available update, this feature does not work for versions before 1.1.9.2 because all FTP requests to this web location have been disabled.
2. When using  "HMC Probe Utility" and "Virtual Control Panel", a change was made to use the standard SSH known_hosts file.
     That means you can expect to be prompted to accept the fingerprint of the IBM i server the first time you connect after installing this update.

General information about this update:
1. The heap size used by IBM i Access Client Solutions (ACS) will no longer default to 1 gigabyte.
   The heap size is determined by the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) and the PC available memory.
   In most cases, the heap size is set to 25% of the PC's installed memory.
   The heap size can be overridden by using the -Xmx option on the command-line, with a desktop shortcut,
   or by setting the JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS environment variable.
   The following examples set the heap size to 2 gigabytes:
   
        Example 1 (command-line or desktop shortcut):
        Start_Programs\Windows_x86-64\acslaunch_win-64.exe -Xmx2g
        
        Example 2 (setting the JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS environment variable):
        JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS=-Xmx2g
        
2. When using "Open Source Package Management", a change was made to use the standard SSH known_hosts file.
   That means you can expect to be prompted to accept the fingerprint of the IBM i server the first time
   you connect after installing this update.
   
3. Mac users that install their updates from a configured IBM i location using "Help->Check for Updates" need to:
   Install the update, restart ACS, run "Help->Check for Updates" a second time, install the update, restart ACS
   The second update is necessary to pick up the new Mac icon for the running application in the dock.
   
   
This update includes several fixes including:
