The Document Generation Services log files have been updated for consistency with Document Generation Services and allows for better parsing by our logging solutions.
The following enhancements have been implemented:
In an effort to support returning XY coordinates for all fillable fields we have begun the development work. The first step in supporting this feature is creating a new element (eSignatureAndFieldSupport). This element will only pass XY coordinates for esignatures at this time. In a future release it will control XY coordinates for all fillable fields.

See the Using SignaturePointSet and eSignatureAndFieldSupport section in Using eSignature and Acroform fields for details on these two elements.
After submitting a transaction in Document Generation Services, users will now receive a response file containing the Package Documents, which contain <DocCustomData/> elements in the packages.
The new elements exist as children and grandchildren of the <r:DocDescriptor/> element. The <r:DocCustomDataItem/> elements contain the following DataItemName attribute values:
In a previous release, we had released First Page Barcode functionality, albeit in limited functionality.
First Page Barcode is now fully functional in Document Generation Services for SelectAndGenerate and Generate methods.
Users can now pass eSignature and Acroform values in the AncillaryOutput of a SelectAndGenerate or Generate request. For detailed information on enabling or disabling eSignature or Acroforms, see Using eSignature and Acroform fields.
The effective date for all products within the scope of this document for this release is April 14, 2016 for the CT environment and April 21, 2016 for the Production environment.
The latest version of Document Generation Services uses the Expere Engine version 2015.4. See the Expere Engine and Tools Change Log for detailed information on the 2015.4 release.
The Expere ListDocuments API is now available through DGS.
The ListDocuments option calls a base or custom package of documents defined by the customer. The list of documents in the base or custom package is displayed for the end user to select and use for a given transaction.
SQL scripts used with the Document Generation Services tables have been enhanced to remove any records older than seven (7) days. The scripts now remove the records on a nightly basis.
Summary: Users can now apply a barcode to the first or only page of a document. For detailed information on using this feature , see the Using First Page Only Barcodes webhelp page.
There were no external facing changes for this release.
Document Generation Services now utilizes a certificate when calling the callback service. The callback object now includes an authentication object, which consists of a username, password, and client certificate name.
Integrators should consult SelectAndGenerate Request, Callback, and CallbackAuthentication for detailed information on using certificates.
A new Management Services checkAliasesinAccount API is now available that determines whether custom content from a source account should be applied to a new account when using the Copy Aliases function in the Document Generation Services Management Tool.
For detailed information, see checkAliasesinAccount.
Document Generation Services now automatically allows access to base content; users are now no longer required to create an alias for base content in the Management Tool.
An alias is now required only if a library is pointing to custom content. When pointing to base content, the library will incorporate "Mortgage" into the alias.
A new API called ManageLibraries has been added to create a new alias and add account permissions to a library when cloning accounts.
See Management Services: Manage Libraries for detailed information on integrating with the ManageLibraries API.
The callback functionality has been enhanced in Document Generation Services to automatically reattempt upon a failed callback to the calling application.
Document Generation Services now reattempts a callback in the following intervals:
Logging enhancements have been implemented for Document Generation Services to include the duration for a request to complete and wait times. This will provide Wolters Kluwer with more information to analyze environments
