Centralpoint Update 8.12.0
Date of Update: Monday, February 16, 2026
| Feature | Summary |
| Excel Viewer | Added .xlsm support to the Excel Viewer and improved error messaging for unsupported file formats. |
| Database Maintenance & Stored Procedure Improvements | SQL Server maintenance scripts have been upgraded to the latest Ola Hallengren maintenance solution. The CommandExecute, IndexOptimize, and DatabaseIntegrityCheck stored procedures are deployed to the master database, replacing older versions. DatabaseIntegrityCheck runs DBCC CHECKDB as part of the scheduled Clean Up process to detect database corruption early.
The cpsp_Maintenance stored procedure has been modernized to remove log shrinking operations, which can cause transaction log chain issues. DBCC UPDATEUSAGE is retained for keeping usage statistics accurate.
The cpsp_Initialize stored procedure has been hardened with idempotent login creation using IF NOT EXISTS guards, proper escaping of special characters in passwords, and replacement of the deprecated sp_change_users_login command with the modern ALTER USER syntax.
A new index on cpsys_DataCurrent.CreateDate has been added to improve sorting and paging performance when ordering content by creation date.

| Windows Server 2022/2025 & SQL Server 2022/2025 Support | Centralpoint now supports Windows Server 2022, Windows Server 2025, SQL Server 2022, and SQL Server 2025. OS and SQL Server versions are independently configured and auto-detected during installation and sync. Each site now runs in its own dedicated IIS application pool named after the system name, replacing the shared cpsys_Default and cpweb_Default pools. This improves site isolation so that a crash or recycle in one site does not affect others.
On SQL Server 2022, the database compatibility level is upgraded to 160, enabling Query Store with automatic plan regression protection, Accelerated Database Recovery for near-instant crash recovery, and several query optimizer improvements including Parameter Sensitivity Plan optimization, DOP Feedback, and persistent Memory Grant Feedback. On SQL Server 2025, the compatibility level is upgraded to 170, enabling Optimized Locking for significantly reduced lock contention, and ZSTD backup compression is configured as the server default for improved compression ratios.
On Windows Server 2022 and later where .NET Framework 4.8.1 is installed, the web.config targetFramework is upgraded from 4.8 to 4.8.1, enabling JIT performance improvements, faster application startup, and TLS 1.3 for outbound connections. Servers on Windows Server 2019 or earlier are not affected.
A prerequisite gate verifies that the ASP.NET Core 10.0 runtime is installed before proceeding with the 8.12.0 update. Servers missing the runtime will report an error with download instructions and skip the update until the prerequisite is met.

| Data Transfer > Office 365 | The Source Authorization control now allows administrators to customize and save the Microsoft Graph scopes used during OAuth authorization. Configurations using URL mode can use Sites.Selected to grant the application reduced permissions to execute the data transfer, rather than requiring the broader scopes needed by the Folder Picker. |
| FormCaptcha CpScript | Centralpoint now supports Google reCAPTCHA v3 Enterprise as an option within the FormCaptcha CpScript. Unlike reCAPTCHA v2 (checkbox), v3 operates invisibly in the background using a score-based risk assessment - no challenge is presented to the user. Administrators can configure a score threshold to control sensitivity. See the help file for documentation and setup assistance. |
