Version 11.3.5.8 Release Notes

Review the new feature, changed feature, fixed features, security fixes, and known limitations in Version 11.3.5.8 for Automation Anywhere Control Room and Enterprise Client.

New feature

Enterprise Client
Support for Manifest V3 extension

Any of your existing automations that use Manifest V2 extensions for Google Chrome browser will be affected based on Google's planned deprecation for Manifest V2 extensions. By default, Enterprise 11 Version 11.3.5.8 (and later) supports Manifest v3 extension by default for the features that use Google Chrome browser. We recommend that you now implement a plan to switch your automations to use the Manifest V3 extension.

Automations that use Google Chrome Manifest V2 based extensions will stop working after June 2023. The deprecation timelines for Manifest V2 based extensions are currently under review and subject to change by Google. For more information, see:

Enterprise 11 upgrade considerations

When you attempt to uninstall the Version 11.3.5.8 patch, a warning message appears, and you cannot uninstall the Version 11.3.5.8 patch. You must uninstall the Version 11.3.5 base version.
Enterprise Client
When you install Version 11.3.5.8 patch in Silent mode, the Manifest V3 registry entries might not be present in the Registry editor. As a result, you cannot extend the Manifest V2 extensions using the group policy.
