Applies to: `Alchemy`

!!! note

    To view issues you may encounter when using Alchemy that we are working to address in future releases, see [Known issues](https://docs.cloudhouse.com/public/overview/known-issues/index.md).

## Auto Packager

### (Released 24th September 2024)

**New Features**

- The license expiry date is now displayed within Auto Packager, in the footer of every page so you can keep track of how long before a Packager token expires.
- Auto Packager no longer ignores the Global Assembly Cache (**GAC**), ensuring all important changes are tracked.
- Files captured under the User Profile are now stored in a dedicated folder in ProgData. A notification is displayed in Auto Packager when this occurs.
- Arguments in the install command have been updated to ensure a silent install when a dependency on VC 2005 Runtimes is detected. Previously, a status bar displayed during installation when VC 2005 Runtimes was detected.
- Package Runtimes updated to version 4.7.2408.3771.
- AAV updated to version 4.7.2408.28156.

**Bug Fixes**

Previously, Auto Packager would crash when COM+ could not be queried. This issue has been fixed with this release. Now, a notification is displayed when COM+ cannot be queried.

## AAV

### (Released 20th September 2024)

**Bug Fixes**

- The Jedit application would previously crash when clicking on the **Install** tab. This has been fixed with this release.
- As part of Package Isolation configuration, using a variable the same length as the variable name, the variable expansion would previously fail. This has been fixed with this release.
