The import of the data is previously done manually by the user. The Preparation routine's root folder can be specified in the Options dialog box.	Custom Preparation Routine
Previously, when an app was deleted, only the entries from the SmartAnalyzer content database were removed. All additional files remained on the user’s hard disk. With SDK 5.0, you can now determine which files will be removed or retained when the app is uninstalled, because it is possible that additional files are also used by other apps.	Additional Files

The Caseware root certificate will expire in early 2022 and needs to be renewed. This root certificate is used to create developer licenses. Based on this developer licenses the apps are created. The SDK 4.1 version therefore includes two developer licenses. Which of the developer licenses you can use depends on the IDEA version for which you want to create an app. You need one license to create apps for IDEA 11.3 or higher, while you can use the other one to create apps for IDEA 11.2 or previous versions. Select the proper developer license in the status bar of the SDK by clicking on Active License.	Using the different licenses
It is possible to add the action Perform Tagging to a workflow.	Workflow Actions

With the current SDK version you can edit content items created with an SDK version based on older IDEA versions (i. e. from IDEA 10.1 to 10.3).	Audit Test, App Definition, Standard Import Routine
SDK version 3.3 supports Visual Studio 2017.
Dialog projects developed in Visual Studio will only be saved together with the project if the dialog project has been created within the content item project folder. If a project contains such an external dialog project, a message will be displayed to notify you.
Due to an error expiry dates containing a day (or month) value less than 10 could not be used. This error has been fixed.
