Adobe discovered a serious bug in the April 2019 update of InDesign CC that affects Typefi.
After updating to InDesign or InDesign Server to v14.0.2 (released 02 April 2019), Typefi Desktop may fail to place one or more floating elements. In addition, searching using GREP expressions after updating to InDesign or InDesign Server v14.0.2 may only find some, not all, results.
If you updated InDesign or InDesign Server on or after 02 April 2019, please also download and manually apply this hot fix from Adobe:
Note: This hot fix is only applicable to InDesign CC 2019 and InDesign Server CC 2019. You can check the version of InDesign installed on your system by going to Help → About InDesign.
Adobe InDesign Server CC 2019 Installation Notes
The hot fix offered by Adobe consists of a ZIP file that contains a CopyPlugin.vbs installation script and the required files. Before starting the patch be sure to Stop the InDesignServerService and make sure all InDesignServer.exe processes are no longer running.
If you experience trouble running the supplied CopyPlugin.vbs installation script, you can copy the "Text Walker.rpln" file from the win64 source directory to: "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe InDesign CC Server 2019\Required" and overwrite the existing file.
It is recommended that you restart the server after this change.

Hi Caleb,
Thanks for Information.
Is it completely safe to move on Indesign CC 2019 server V 14.0.0? or should we wait for untill Indesign CC server 2019 stable version.
Please suggest.
Thanks,
Gaurav Gupta
Yes, it’s absolutely safe to install and use Adobe InDesign Server CC 2019 (v14.0.0; the initial release). We have v14.0.0 deployed in our Typefi Cloud infrastructure and are holding off the v14.0.2 upgrade until after Adobe provides an update to the TextWalker.plugin for InDesign Server that corrects this GREP bug.
InDesign Server is different from InDesign (desktop) in that updates must be manually applied (there is no equivalent to the Creative Cloud desktop application for InDesign Server). So you are in absolute control of when and which updates you apply.
