Zivver Office Plugin v4.0 Release Notes

Introduction

This document describes changes introduced in Zivver Office Plugin release 4.0

Release highlights

NTA 7516 ready: The Office Plugin in the latest version supports NTA 7516 legal compliance, allowing Zivver Office Plugin users to send to other NTA-compliant organizations messages using the NTA standards: availability, integrity, confidentiality, usability and interoperability. Zivver Office Plugin V4.0 also supports being able to receive messages from NTA compliant senders, delivering them directly to your inbox in a secure way. Read more (available in Dutch only).

New look: The colors of the plugin have been vastly improved to better meet accessibility standards required under the NTA 7516. The new blue has a higher contrast and will improve the Zivver experience for everyone that doesn’t have 20/20 vision. We’ve also improved the typography throughout the Office Plugin, e.g. more consistent use of fonts and font sizes.
