Fotoware Veloz - January 2026 update

Deployment  

This release is being gradually deployed and will be available on all tenants soon.  
 

Improvements 

  • Site Configuration: adding, editing, and configuring taxonomy filters are improved 
    In Archive details, administrators can now change the order of taxonomy filters for archives. Previously, this list was displayed in the order of selection. For more information, see Enabling taxonomy navigation in an archive.
     
  • Date and Time fields
    The manual date selector now displays only YYYY-MM-DD after a day is selected.
    Previously, it appended 00:00:00UTC in local time, which did not comply with the XMP date/time specification and could incorrectly set the date to the previous day for users in a timezone west of UTC. 
     
  • New archives are created with fewer automated access rights
    Previously, when creating a new archive in Site Configuration > Archives > Add archive, the default settings allowed crawlers to index the archive, and the access list included the Everyone group. This has been changed so that new archives are not indexed by crawlers by default, and the access list is now empty.  


Code maintenance

  • Analytics cleanup
    • Google Analytics and PIWIK reached End of Life in 2024. The remaining frontend code has now been removed to clarify that these features are no longer supported. 
       
  • FFmpeg update
    • Fotoware Veloz has been updated to use FFmpeg version 8.0, the latest release. 
       
  • Video transcoding modernization
    • Video transcoding has been updated to improve performance. 
 

 

Fixed issues

The following issues are fixed in this release;

  • Updating non‑SSO users via the User Management (Beta) API no longer corrupts externalIds or triggers 409 “duplicate” errors when updating other users. All valid update requests now complete successfully.
  • Windows Service Control Manager no longer times out when trying to start FWBackgroundService.
