Release 2.6.2.9
+ [LSG00244288] HP DIU cannot be restored from Windows Taskbar if minimized during install progress then wait until install completed.

+ [LSG00246451] de-2lang: Some buttons are cut off on "Device Connection" screen if the device cannot be found.
+ [No-fixed] LSG00248680 - Installer - High contrast does not apply with windows Standard(Large)
Defect LSG00248680, when windows Accessibility Options are turned on to enable High Contrast settings with
Windows Standard(Large) font HPDIU UI is unusable, is caused due to Internet Explorer 6's inability to render
standard web pages correctly in High Contrast settings. An upgrade to Internet Explorer 7 resolves the issue.
Since Internet Explorer 7 is not available on Windows 2000, the following work around can be used to provide
an acceptable user experience using Internet Explorer 6 on Windows 2000:
1. In Internet Explorer, on the Tools menu, click Internet Options.
2. On the General tab, click Accessibility.
3. Select the following options:
a. Ignore colors specified on Web pages
b. Ignore font styles specified on Web pages
c. Ignore font sizes specified on Web pages

Release 2.6.2.7
+ Updated: Bacabod library to version 7.00.013.0. This release fixes a critical defect on Windows 2000 only where all SNMP requests would fail. The defect could also cause some devices to not be configurable after they were discovered.
--------------------------------------------------------
Release 2.6.2.6
+ Fixed: When a discovered device is selected and the user is returned to the connection type screen, IP Address will be selected as default rather than the host name.
+ The IP Address retrieval algorithm has been changed to retrieve addresses in the following order : Preferred address, IPv4 address, IPv6 address. The algorithm stops and reports the first valid address that is found. It also filters out IPv6 link local address as they can't be used to communicate to the device.
+ [LSG00241903] id: The name of the button "Help me find my device on the network" is cut off on "Device Connection" screen.
+ [LSG00239404] id: Some contents are cut off on the Device Connection screen if cannot find the device.

--------------------------------------------------------
Release 2.6.2.5
+ To be consistent with Mariner and INPW, HPDIU will stop reporting the fully qualified host name of the device and only report the partial hostname. Use of fully qualified host names don't seem to any benefits over partial host names during the discovery process. In fact, it seems to be the other way around: There are instances when partial host names get resolved properly when the fully qualified host names don't. User can still choose to manually enter the fully qualified host name of the printer to install it if they wish to do so.
+ When a discovered device is selected and the user is returned to the connection type screen, IP Address will be selected as default rather than the host name.
--------------------------------------------------------
