List of changes introduced in this Service Pack

SP1 Major Enhancements

    Validate Expert and Online Validation - integration with Acrolinx
  • Acrolinx Content Optimisation software evaluates text against standards for terminology, spelling, grammar, style, tone of voice, and SEO (search engine optimisation).
    Its features can now be incorporated into Catalyst's Validate Expert using the Acrolinx SDK version 2.9.
    Please contact our Sales Team for full information.


  • Experts, Recycle Translations and Active TM Optimisation
  • Improvements in memory management for Analysis, Leverage, Clean Up and Project Division Experts implemented, resulting in improved results and stability of these features.
  • Speed, efficiency and stability of Recycle Translations and Active TM features enhanced.


  • XML File Support
  • The efficiency of XML parsing and processing has been enhanced, resulting in improved times for insertion, string list creation and editing of XML files in Catalyst.
  • Character references in attribute values now maintained on extraction.


  • .NET File Support
  • Embedded graphics within .NET files are now parsed into the Bitmap resources of the file for localisation
  • TTKs created using the COM API now include referenced assemblies.


  • Win32 File Support
  • Support added for visual view on Win32 dialogs containing controls new to Visual Studio 2010


  • Analysis Expert
  • The Analysis Bands reported by the Analysis Expert are now user configurable.
    By default Catalyst has 5 bands 50%-74%, 75%-84%, 85%-94% and 95%-99%. These ranges can now be modified. See here for further information.
  • In addition, the Analysis Expert now includes a band for MT (Machine Translation).
  • Analysis results for HTML and XML code segments were sometimes producing incorrect results, this has been addressed


  • Update Expert
  • In ezScript the user can now specify an individual file for update.


  • MadCap Flare Support
  • MadCap synonym file .mcsyns now parsed.
  • Alignment now aligns images in the UI and ezScript.
  • The language code of the ttk target language is now written into the flprj file on extraction.


  • Glossaries
  • Support for glossaries in Asian languages improved.


  • Licensing
  • Catalyst start-up time has been reduced. Improvements to the licensing model have been implemented so that all components are now read from a license as one block of information. This has significantly reduced the time to start the application, particularly for Alchemy Network License Manager users (ANLM).
    An update to the ANLM license is required for optimum performance - please contact our Support Team in order to update your ANLM license and avail of this improvement in performance.


SP1 Minor Enhancements

    File Support
  • New Config.xml option to extract only text (including unchanged source text) from .NET Winform binaries. See here for further information.
  • Resx files are now extracted if "Language Neutral" is specified as ttk target language.
  • Resx files are now extracted if an unmapped network drive is specified as destination folder.
  • Support for Visual Studio Projects enhanced.
  • Show All Strings on an XLIFF file now displays all strings, previously it had to be invoked on the Project Title.
  • Support for strings containing new lines of mixed CR LF and LF formats optimised, including tag and keyword positioning and Active TM results.


  • TBX Support
  • Catalyst now supports the full TBX format, previous support was limited to the TBX_Basic standard. Support for embedded XCS content has been included.
  • TBX files exported from Catalyst are now compatible with Term Manager.


  • Leverage Expert
  • Maximum sizes now leverage for .NET forms.


  • Separation of Leverage Expert and Active TM lists
  • TMs selected for use by the Leverage Expert are now no longer automatically made Active TMs (and vice versa), giving the user more control over these Catalyst features and limiting consumption of resources.


  • ezScript
  • Settings not present in an imported ini file are no longer set to true.
  • BAML Insertion during ezScript now outputs the "msbuild /t:updateuid" message where it would appear in the UI.
  • The Analysis Expert now validates the specified log path exists and outputs an error to the batch log if it is not present.
  • The batch log now reports TM and new ttk correctly for Leverage Expert operations.
