Bug fixes

Improved error messages
Error messages related to Standard Business Document validations were at times vague and failed to clearly point out the missing or wrongly provided parameters. We have improved these response messages to show more accurate details with complete path and properties.
SCIGovtStatusCode
The SCIGovtStatusCode was erroneously filtered out when you retrieved notifications for a document that had been rejected or had a tax authority error.
UK MTD reporting
Country codes in Sovos Canonical Invoice for UK MTD reporting were limited to "GB". This caused errors when sending transactions with a different country code in the import and export cases.
India e-Waybill
E-Waybill did not show error messages as part of the HTTP response and missed the proper error codes in some cases. This made it hard to identify the reason for rejection.
GET notifications by documentId
If the IncludeBinaryData query parameter was set to "true", the API always returned the "404 Notifications not found" error message for all error types.
Archived document retrieval
When you tried to retrieve an archived document, the result would time out after 0.2 seconds (200 milliseconds).
Error display
When you used a non-TLS base URL, the error messages did not appear correctly when the TLS URL was required.
Generic error
The post-audit validation response returned a generic error instead of indicating whether the signature or the signer was invalid.
Tax authority errors
Error messages from the Chilean and Colombian tax authorities did not mention specifics and details for some error responses. This made it hard to resolve the issue.
