Bug fixes
- While navigating through paged results, if you select a result and then navigate back, you return to the first page of results instead of the current page.
- An issue with the AXIOM Exporter was causing file locations to be displayed as the location in the case instead of the location in the evidence source.
- In the chat thread view, clicking a message that has a media attachment would direct you to the details page for the media artifact and not the message.
- URLs found in email bodies that were wrapped using " instead of " were not being blocked like other outgoing URLs.
- In some cases, issues loading the mobile device dialog would prevent an evidence item's details from loading.
- Some types of contacts that were available in previous versions were no longer showing up as results.
- On the User Settings screen, the default settings are sometimes displayed even if the actual value is different.
