FIXED:     Groups are now sorted alphabetically (case 9915)

 

FIXED:     The ACT USER1-10 fields, if changed to a different datatype could cause

           the OmniRush plugin to fail. These fields are no longer used. (case 9728)

           flow into ACT notes. (case 9032)

           without the activity link (case 9565)

 

***Toolbar***

           works with the new GoldMine session -- restarting GoldMine is not needed.

           (FedEx only)

OmniRush Build 769:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

ENHANCED:  Commerce module passes more information to Authorize.NET (such as contact name)

 

FIXED:    Issue introduced in OmniRush 7.0 related to Microsoft Outlook (full Outlook,

          not Outlook Express). Problem is related to HTML email bodies on emails

          that have attached files. The attached files would not be accessible in

          Outlook.

          Fix requires that Email Track option 'Add Outlook-style ... part' be checked.

 

FIXED:    Rare problem where heavily formatted HTML would be slightly tweaked

          by OmniRush in a way that would affect formatting if the receiving

          email system used IE or an IE based control for viewing HTML.

 

FIXED:    In some cases, a low resolution fax that OmniRush forwards by email would become

          a 22" long PDF (case 134)

 

OmniRush Build 768:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

ENHANCED:  MSCRM DBIO: In Administrator, for an MSCRM DBIO there is a 'test connection'

          button. This button now actually does an insert/update/delete on the CRM

          system via the CRM API to validate that the credentials have write access

          to the CRM system.

 

FIXED:    In some intermediate builds, if an '&' was in the CAL.NOTES field

          it would not merge into message.

 

FIXED:    HTML Email templates: In some cases, if an HTML tool created lines of HTML

          longer than ~990 characters, the HTML would be properly wrapped to prevent

          excessively long lines (as lines over 256 chars can cause some older

          mail servers to malfunction). However, due to bugs in the IE browser, this

          change would make small changes to the rendering of graphics in the received

          email.

          Now the HTML lines are not modified, but there is an email track setting

          to turn on the line-length-management feature again.

 

OmniRush Build 767:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

FIXED:    Email: In some cases, if an email had an HTML body and file attachments,

          Microsoft Outlook would not show the attached files. This issue only

          affects Microsoft Outlook (not Outlook Express).

 

OmniRush Build 766:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

FIXED:    Benign MSCRM DBIO error to effect "...SOAP Server Application Faulted

          8004022eThe object ..."

 

OmniRush 7.1 Build 765:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

FIXED:    Email jobs that fail:   

   a) Helo command rejected: need fully-qualified hostname

   b) Error: 161: 501 Invalid host name zf-darth.

   c) Error: 161: 503 Error: send HELO/EHLO first

   d) Error: 161: 554 5.7.1 HELO greeting "zf-darth" suspect - RFC 2821

   e) Error: 161: 450 <zf-darth>: Helo command rejected: Host not found

   f) Mail considered spam due to:  Message-Id is not valid according to RFC 2822    2.9

 

FIXED:    Unable to set the SMTP relay port to a value higher than 200

 

FIXED:    Universal Client on multi-database SalesLogix systems:

   New selector in Settings area to select the DB connector to associate with the SLX DB.

 

FIXED:    Fax Viewer: In some cases drag & drop of a fax from the New inbound area to

   a folder would cause the folder to disappear. (case 103)

 

FIXED:    HTML templates that had sections of <script> with attribute tags, e.g.

   <script type="javascript"> would have the script sections modified by

   OmniRush.

 

FIXED:    The OWN: override code would not work when used in an OXP file.

 

FIXED:    DHL & FedEx: Address2 was truncated in some cases.

 

FIXED:    RDS.EXE would terminate on some Windows2003 systems with the latest hotfixes.

 

NEW:    When doing in inbound DID lookup, a log entry is made in the fax module log

          if there is no match, to aid in configuration.

 

OmniRush 7.1 Build 751:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

FIXED:    In some cases, an Open SQL DBIO configured for pass-through SQL

          would require that a SalesLogix DBIO also be added to the license.

 

OmniRush 7.1 Build 749:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

FIXED:    When doing TIF->PDF conversion for email, on some systems 1 of every 10 or every 30

          PDF's might have a black page.
