v2.6.0

This version focuses on Google account login support, automatic network connection optimization, and expanded Group Policy capabilities.

New Features

Automatic Connection Selection & Memory

For personal use, the type of network connection that has worked successfully in the past is now automatically remembered, and the proven connection is prioritized on subsequent attempts.

Key Benefits

• Improves connection stability even in complex proxy environments
• Reduces time spent on connection checks each time

Google Account Login Support

Users on the free plan (personal use) can now log in with a Google account in addition to a Microsoft account.

Key Benefits

• Users with Google Workspace or personal Gmail accounts can use the app without additional registration
• Power Viewer can now be used in environments where Microsoft accounts are not available

Administrator Features (Group Policy)

New items that can be controlled via the Group Policy file have been added. Administrators can use these settings to manage the usage environment within their organization in greater detail.

Added Policy Settings

Setting	Description
Server CV Download	Controls whether the CV used for eCTD viewing is retrieved from the server or uses only a local copy
CV List Tab Visibility	Controls whether the CV management tab is displayed within the application
Login Mode	Controls whether online login is required or whether offline use is permitted

Key Benefits

• Enables more flexible operation tailored to the organization’s security policies and network environment
• Some behavioral settings that previously depended on LicenseKey configuration can now be managed directly through Group Policy

Note: The Group Policy file schema has been updated. If you are using an existing Group Policy file, you will need to recreate it or have an administrator update it.
