# R1490 (29-Nov-2024)

This release introduces new features as below:

> #### What's New

* **Autocomplete Subscriber Agreement (Validation Agent Portal):** When a document is manually uploaded for EV pre-vetting orders, the subscriber agreement will now be auto completed in the Validation Agent portal. This should streamline the process of completing the necessary legal and compliance steps for extended validation certificates.
* **Different Certificate Download Formats:** Users can now download certificates in various formats, giving them flexibility depending on their system requirements:
  * **DER Encoded Binary X.509 (.CER):** A binary format commonly used for certificate files.
  * **Base-64 Encoded X.509 (.CER):** A base-64 encoded version of the DER format, which is suitable for web applications or email transmission.
  * **Base-64 Encoded X.509 (.CRT):** Similar to the .CER format, but sometimes used for different certificate types or services.
  * **Zip:** A compressed file format that may contain multiple certificates or related files.
* **emSign Retail - Multi-Year Subscription for EV Products:** There is now the option to subscribe for multi-year periods (1, 2, or 3 years) for EV (Extended Validation) products. This option allows users to secure EV certificates for a longer duration upfront.

## 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.certinext.io/documentation/release-notes/r1490-29-nov-2024.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.
