During the spring of 2025, we ran huge tests with are AI-module. Thousands of advertising files were run and we tuned the module. This new module validates all adverts, for both print and digital, and marks which ones in need for a human to check. All other adverts can be run through the workflow automatically without any human interaction. The system checks the adverts in accordance to the marketing laws of your country and will discover everything in the adverts which may cause problems or annoyance. This system has been used in full since June 2025 at Bonnier News.

Since a couple of months, Allied Press on New Zealand are using Cargo. This is part of a big structural upgrade where Allied Press will use Atex software for most everything, both at the advertising department and the editorial department.

We wish all our customers and partners a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
2024 has been a successful and eventful year, now we are looking forward to 2025 with anticipation.

The Norwegian newspaper group Mentor Medier has decided to go for Cargo. This is done together with a decision of replacing their CRM system with Cross-Advertising from Atex and the systems will of course be integrated. The project starts almost directly with the goal of having both systems live in the beginning of February 2025. 

Laidback Solutions have updated theCargo Dispatch/Admin software with log4j version 2.16 which mitigates the security risk CVE-2021-44228. FileTrain and Cargo Server does not include log4j.

If you need any help when updating, please contact us!

You can now download the 6.9.8 version of FileTrain from the product page of FileTrain. This update is only to have new installers for FileTrain. This has to do with supporting both the M1 processor and the Intel processor with the same installer. 

We have been made aware of a security risk with a library that is installed with some of our products, log4j. More details about the vulnerability can be found here: https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2021-44228

The security vulnerabilities discovered in log4j lately have been addressed and new release of log4j is available.

The products from Laidback may include jar files with log4j but our analysis have concluded that Laidback products are not affected by the security risks that have been found.

Even if the products from Laidback are not affected we will take actions and update the products that use log4j jar files with the latest patch. We will roll out patches as soon as they are available.

Faster download via FTP is the main fix in this version.

The latest version of FileTrain is available for download, see the product page. 

Tillväxtverket hjälper till att finansiera ett digitaliseringsprojekt med stöd från EU. Detta projekt har pågått sedan tidig vår och avslutas sent i höst. Laidback är glada och stolta över att vara ett av de utvalda företagen som får deltaga i projekt som detta som är mycket värt för mindre utvecklingsbolag.
