I just upgraded this morning to Flare 2023 R2 and immediately kicked off a build of our doc site only to see that it returned hundreds of 404 errors because the URLs no longer included underscores, whereas they did an hour before, when I built our doc site right before upgrading. I confirmed this behavior with the rest of my team.
Has anyone else encountered this, and do you know of a workaround? (We've already submitted a ticket to Flare, but I wanted to get as much info as I could.)

Re: Flare 2023 R2 doesn't seem to be replacing reserved characters
Thanks for pointing this out and opening a ticket. Yes, we have just upgraded and this is happening for us in our Tripane HTML5 output.
Example:
before upgrade: https://....url/installing_the_jade_database_utility.htm
after upgrade: https://...url/installing%20the%20jade%20database%20utility.htm
Our work around is to go back to 2023.
Example:
before upgrade: https://....url/installing_the_jade_database_utility.htm
after upgrade: https://...url/installing%20the%20jade%20database%20utility.htm
Our work around is to go back to 2023.

Turns out, Flare had provided my manager with a patch containing DLL that "fixed an issue where replace reserved characters with underscores does not work." We applied it and re-built our doc sites, and we are all good. So, this is resolved. But thanks for the swift reply!

I've found this problem as well.
The things that we plan and measure are the things that get done.

Yeah all my URLs have changed from underscores to %20 for spaces in filenames. I'm getting user reports for broken links every day.
