# 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.
