Core 7.5.9 Release Notes

SSO authentication, sharing workflows, Aspera transfers, uploads, and overall interface reliability.

Core 7.5.9 delivers improvements across authentication, sharing, package management, file transfers, and the user interface. This release also addresses several reliability and usability issues to provide a smoother and more consistent Core experience.

Authentication & SSO

  • Improved guidance for SSO users
    Users with SSO accounts signing in through the standard login or password recovery flows receive clearer guidance, helping direct them to the correct authentication method.

  • Enhanced SAML security
    SAML authentication handling has been strengthened to validate assertion timing and expiration information, helping prevent expired authentication responses from being reused.

  • Improved SSO account reactivation handling
    Account creation and reactivation handling has been improved for SSO users whose account details have changed, reducing the risk of username conflicts.

Sharing & Packages

  • Configurable default share settings
    Default sharing preferences can now be configured at the system level to be on or off by default, including options such as notifications, forwarding, review mode, autoplay, group view, user visibility, and comments. When a site-wide sharing configuration is set, users can still override these defaults for individual shares.

  • Fixed recipient list display on package email notifications
    Package notification emails once again provide clear recipient information, making it easy to see who was included in a share.

  • Corrected Inbox and Sent package placement
    Packages created by the sender no longer incorrectly appear in both the Inbox and Sent folders.

  • Responsive sharing from the Inbox
    The Inbox now adjusts responsively when the Share panel is opened, keeping package information accessible while users prepare and complete a share.

  • Improved package file ordering
    Resolved an issue that could cause the saved position of files within packages to change unexpectedly.

  • Improved package upload reliability
    Resolved a background interface error that could occur after successfully uploading a file into an existing package.

File Transfers & Uploads

  • Removed Chrome extension prompt for IBM Aspera
    Core retains IBM Aspera Connect support for desktop for high-speed transfers while deprecating the Chrome extension requirement in preparation for its end of life support at the close of 2026. support for Aspera Connect.

  • Updated Aspera download guidance
    The Aspera troubleshooting experience now directs users to the current IBM Aspera download location.

Viewer & Administration

  • Improved Asset Viewer reliability
    Resolved an intermittent interface error that could occur when opening files in the Asset Viewer.

  • Improved dark mode visibility in Tag Admin
    The Add icon within Tag Descriptions is now displayed correctly in dark mode, making the control easier to identify and use.
