## DISCOVER v1.3.2.73

#### Improvements

* Improved checksum validation logic for algorithm condition checks in scan engine rules.
* Updated Medicare checksum validation logic.
* Added Australian Medicare checksum support.
* Added Linux device support.
* Added support for scanning specific SharePoint folders.
* Updated Scan & Encrypt and Scan & Decrypt to align with the latest PROTECT changes.
* Added Linux device support.
* Added support for SSH target discovery using IP addresses.
* Include paths for Linux scans must begin with `/`, such as `/root/usr/desktop`.
* Added Email as a secure location for remediation copy and move actions. This excludes Gmail and Google Drive-based scans.
* Improved MIP component refresh stability in environments with slow MIP responses.
* Improved text extraction for Open Document files: ODP, ODS, and ODT.
* Added 17 checksum algorithms for data validation.
* Optimised server communication with aggregated action API calls.
* Improved report upload performance and reliability.
* `cert_verification` defaults to `0`, bypassing certificate validation for self-signed certificates out of the box.
* MIP label application now prevents duplicate labels.
* Added the `cert_verification` registry property with a default value of `0`. This bypasses certificate validation for self-signed certificates.
* Improved ODT text extraction in agent build `1.0.1.30`.
* Added support for modern standby.
* Added the `cert_verification` registry property with a default value of `0`. This bypasses certificate validation for self-signed certificates.
* Improved ODT text extraction in agent build `1.0.1.30`.
* Bundled C++ Redistributable as a prerequisite. Service and agent behavior is unchanged.
* Added support for modern standby.
* MIP Sensitivity Label data now appears in file details where applicable.
* SSH scans now report total size.
* Added wildcard support for include and exclude paths in local, WinRM, and SSH scans.
* Added SharePoint and file server as secure locations for remediation.
* Introduced `lite` mode for deployments paired with PROTECT. It enables Encrypt and Decrypt scan modes for SharePoint and file server.

#### Bug fix

* Fixed an issue with **SSH scans** where some files were not being scanned correctly.
* Resolved multiple stability issues in scan engine checksum handling.
* Resolved server API communication issues.
* Resolved remediation job stability issues.
* Resolved investigation job stability issues on non-Google Drive-based scans.
* Resolved an issue where SSH and local-drive scans detected no valid paths.
* Extended corrupted-file handling from file-server scans to all scan types.
* Resolved an issue where a corrupted file halted a scan. Scans now continue past corrupted files.
* Resolved a scan hang when connecting to specific server configurations.
* Resolved an access-token issue affecting MIP classification.
* Corrected delta calculation to use the organization’s configured timezone.
* Resolved a header and footer extraction issue in Word files.
* Resolved a crash from secure-location configuration during remediation.
* Resolved an investigation-section crash related to email processing.
* Cloud files are now correctly excluded from local-drive scans.
* Resolved an agent halt condition.
* Resolved a crash on network paths.
* Resolved size-reporting issues for SharePoint and archives.
* Resolved a remediation issue when SharePoint is configured as a secure location.
* Improved hit-detection accuracy in PDF files.
* Unique hits are now correctly reported in scan context.
* Added a timeout to regex pattern matching. This prevents scans from stalling on large documents.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.guardware.com/product-updates/discover/discover-agent-release-notes.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
