EPF 26.1.0.1 (January 2026)
This version of Eggplant Functional (EPF) contains a change to the OCR Engine that increases the size of the installation executable. This has no detrimental effect on the functionality of EPF.
Previously the container images for EPF hosted on quay.io and the IronBank container image repository contained ubi8 in the image name. We are no longer updating the ubi8 container images. The latest container images drop the ubi8 and are named simply "fusion-engine", for example quay.io/eggplantsoftware/fusion-engine. For more information, see Deploying Eggplant Functional (Fusion Engine) in Containers.
Defect Fixes
- Resolves an issue when using two Helper Scripts that reference one another which could cause EPF to crash. Please keep in mind that doing this is not a best practice and may cause other issues, but it will no longer cause a crash. (CRD-1837)
- Removes extra % sign that appeared in “Text Not Found” error dialog when the searched string contained a "%". (CRD-1931)
