What is New in OmniRush v5.1

Major new features in v5.1:

 

* Requires OmniRush PDF module

Detailed Fix List:

 

 

 

 

Build 280:

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

***Database Connector***

FIXED:     Some SQL2000 systems would cause the database connector to choke.

    See http://www.zfirm.com/omnirush/kbase/93.txt for details

 

 

***FedEx***

FIXED:     FRP_Generator now allows signature release contract # to be saved

    into the FRP when Signature Release is checked.

 

 

Build 274:

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

***General***

FIXED:     Several small fixes related to Terminal Server in TSPrinterInstaller

    and TSPrintingPreferences

NEW:     RightFAX bridge support now in the internet fax module.

 

 

***Administrator***

FIXED:     Track aliases can now begin with punctuation characters.

 

 

Build 263:

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

***General***

FIXED:     Client only install on Win9x/Win2k connect.ini should be resolved.

FIXED:     Long, multi-part names, like: "Abbas Masood Liaqat Ali Shehab"

    would be scrambled by OmniRush name parsing logic.

ENHANCED:   Deleting users now mangles the user name, so that the user can be

    reimported without further hassle.

 

 

***Launcher***

FIXED:     Launcher now protects against two instances of Launcher getting started.

 

 

***Fax Module***

ENHANCED:   Hardware fax now gives detailed result codes (human voice, etc.)

 

 

***GoldMine Connector***

CHANGED:    The Goldmine DBIO will not allow itself to be configured to log into

    GoldMine as the same userid as one of the tracks.  This is a safety.

 

 

***Client***

FIXED:     If other contact has an email address, Client would prompt

    "contact does not have email address" when selecting the other

    contact.

FIXED:     When scheduling a call back, the time is updated to the current time

    each job.

FIXED:     The database is now queried after three characters are typed

    (with a longer pause) or four characters or more with a shorter pause.

    Space character is counted.

NEW:     When scheduling a call back, there are new options to auto-advance

    the date a day/wk/month

NEW:     Option above track list to show Print tracks.

 

 

***Viewer***

NEW:     Emailing out a fax can be done either with a MAPI email client

    (like Outlook), or the new built in email client (best for users

    who use GoldMine email and do not have a local MAPI client setup

    at every PC).  Email client set in File | Settings.

NEW:        MRU for fax description line.

NEW:      Option of static list of fax description lines, settable in

    File | Settings.

NEW:      If OmniRush is licensed for PDF, the Viewer can save and email

    faxes as PDF attachments (in addition to TIF).

NEW:     Ability to paste in bitmap from clipboard, and select area

    of fax to cut/copy to clipboard

 

 

Build 257:

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

***General***

FIXED:    Launcher now prevents two instances of Launcher from running.

NEW:    OmniRush can now install and coexist on the same PC

   with ArcServe, Backup Exec, and a number of other

   programs that are currently on the 'cannot interoperate' list.

NEW:    Examples now get updated when Updater is run.

NEW:       Merge Macro: &FullAddressOneLine

NEW:    GoldMine: OmniRush detects if jobs in have 'CREATEBY' = an OmniRush

   track name, AND if the OmniRush DB Connector is set to log into

   GoldMine as a track name.  Either situation can cause a problem.

   Now the DB Connector will shut down and log the reason.

 

 

***Client***

FIXED:    Reference line would not refresh from job to job

FIXED:     Navigation to other contacts now consistent with Viewer.

NEW:    Button 'Show Print Tracks' so the client can be used to

    submit to print tracks (great to print and link to GoldMine)

NEW:       Some new schedule ahead buttons on Schedule Follow Up Call

 

 

***Viewer***

FIXED:     On systems with only 256 or 16 colors, display is now much more

           legible.

FIXED:     Forwarding a fax in GoldMine, it would be from 'OmniRush', not

   from the user who did it.

 

 

Build 247:

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

***General***

NEW:    WindowsXP Support.  Notes:

              Wang/Kodak imaging is no longer included with XP.

 Microsoft removed it.  It can now be purchased on the internet

as a piece of software.  The main implication is that out of the box,

there is no useful TIF image viewer (XP Paint can open/save TIF

files, but does not have good zoom capabilities).

 

      To support XP, the Viewer has been largely re-written.  Behavior

of annotations and image viewing has changed slightly.  The good

news is that Z-Firm can now respond more directly to requests

for specific annotation functionality.

 

      XP broke the ability for applications to test for a valid

username/password.  When you enter the username and password

for OmniRush NT Services (in the OmniRush installer and in

the Launcher configuration in Administrator), OmniRush cannot

test if the password is correct.  It will just accept your entry.

 So if you put in a bad password here, you will only find out

  IF you run OmniRush in NT Service mode.

 

      XP: PCI Hardware Only:  Brooktrout ISA boards are not supported

on XP, and word is that ISA hardware in general is not supported

on XP.  At this time, we do not anticipate support for ISA

Brooktrout boards on XP.

 

NEW:    Tracks now have settable priorities.

FIXED:    Installer now detects MS Word v10 (Word XP)

 

 

***Print to Fax Client***

NEW:       Client will launch if contact manager is not running.

           Contact manager must be started before the client is printed to, however.

           This allows Client to be in startup group.

NEW:       Job status list available from the Client System Tray menu.

 

 

***Viewer***

NEW:    Will launch if contact manager is not running.

NEW:    Ability to print multiple copies of a fax, and page ranges.

NEW:       Better font control of text annotations.

NEW:       Rubber Stamp Annotation Tool

NEW:       Arrow annotation tool

NEW:       Status bar for printing, opening, saving.

NEW:       Closing thumbnails reduces memory use of Viewer

NEW:       Can print individual pages, page ranges, and multiple copies

 

 

Build 232:

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

***General***

NEW:       OmniRush can coexist with Veritas Backup Exec v8.x

 

 

***Enhancements for ASP Operation***

NEW:       SLGXAPI.DLL can now be loaded specific to each DBIO.  Allows a single OmniRush

           server to service multiple SalesLogix installations concurrently that

           are not all of the same major or minor revision of SalesLogix.

           Note: Increase all BDE memory settings to run multiple DBIO's, and avoid

           using BDE based applications on the OmniRush Server.

 

 

***E-Mail Module***

ENHANCED:  Logic now more closely resembles SENDMAIL.  E-Mail module can now send

           to sites whose DNS lacks an MX record (single A record points to web

           and email).

 

 

***Administrator***

ENHANCED: Merge alias configuration UI was made more coherent.  Add/Modify functionality

          is now more logical.

NEW:      In merge alias configuration, SQL syntax is now highlighted, in a mono-spaced

          font, and includes line numbers.

 

 

Build 224:

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

***General***

FIXED:    Weakness that would case the OmniRush print driver to become corrupted, requiring

          reinstallation using the OmniRush updater.  (This problem was inherited

   from FaxRush, and is now resolved in OmniRush.)

 

 

Build 222:

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

 

 

***General***

NEW:      More options on track to allow CRM history record to have less notes.

 

 

***Database Connector Module***

NEW:      On SalesLogix, can now set DBIO to create history records of different

          types (email, fax, etc.) so that icon in history tab is correct.

FIXED:    SalesLogix, in some cases would pull extension info in with phone/fax numbers,

          causing downstream operations to fail.

 

 

***E-Mail Module***

NEW:      HTML now supported in body of email.

NEW:      Super-powerful HTML merging.  See OmniRush documentation for details.

          Supports merge macros, repeating groups, and custom SQL.

NEW:      Email track option to send merged RTF and static TIF files as attached

          PDF files (instead of native format).  Requires OmniRush PDF module.

NEW:      Supports SMTP Relay authentication for external SMTP servers.

ENHANCED: Integrated, internal SMTP relay server is now completely useable.

 

 

*** Fax Module***

FIXED:    Fax Server Module should wait for dialtone more consistently, leading

          to fewer 'no dialtone' failure.

ENHANCED: Error messages on failures are now the same as FaxRush in most cases.

          More detail and granularity than earlier versions of OmniRush.

 

 

*** FedEx Shipping Module ***

NEW:      Supports Canada origination for FedEx Express and Ground shipping.

          See OmniRush K-Base, search for 'canada'

 

 

*** UPS Shipping Module ***

FIXED:    Job reference not printing on label.

FIXED:    If end of day on Monday would fail, but Tuesday succeed, on Tue the Monday data

  would not get uploaded.  Now on every end of day, all pending, prior data

  is uploaded automatically.

ENHANCED: When deleting a shipment, notes are more explanatory.

 

 

*** Print Module ***

FIXED:    Some PDF files would print incorrectly.

 

 

***Administrator***

FIXED: Can now create Messageblaster/Envoy accounts with Mastercard type credit card.

FIXED: Print Raster Module: Cannot easily change printer settings now (which would lead

       to module mis-configuration)

FIXED: User list now in alpha order.

FIXED: UPS Modules can now have a comma entered (in case a dialing prefix is req'd,

       e.g. 9,)

ENHANCED: Generally, OmniRush requires that the OmniRush Server and Administrator

          be able to resolve each other's name to an ip address (using any

          of the several name resolution protocols that exist on a Windows network).

          Now the OmniRush server has much less need to be able to resolve

          the client pc (where Administrator is run).

ENHANCED: Monitoring of fax, shipping, email, and other types of jobs now

          provides useful information about the current job (e.g. company, email address,

          fax number, etc.)

NEW:   New shipping tracks get a default email notification text with merge codes.

NEW:   Administrator will now message user if you try to activate a module that is not        licensed.

NEW:   HTML import capabilities for HTML email.

        -Includes ability to auto-remap links from relative to absolute web paths

        -HTML preview built in

NEW:   Find File / Folder option to search ODMS for a file or folder.  Supports wildcards.

NEW:   Local menu option to copy path and file name in ODMS to clipboard.

 

 

***Print to Fax Client***

Fixed: 'import folder must be of higher level' error

FIXED: &FXREF merge code from client driven jobs

FIXED: Would not accept periods in the leading section of email address on print-to-email

FIXED: Printing to Rasterizer did not kick it open.

FIXED: Win98: Partial Print Driver Failure error msg.

FIXED: Win98: Result of rasterization not found error

FIXED: Win98: Temp dir clean up when fax job is cancelled.

FIXED: Client would remember prior contact on 2nd print to client job

FIXED: If printing-to-email, client would not allow periods in the first section of the email address.

FIXED: Unclear error 'import folder must be of a higher level'

FIXED: A number of issues with Client on Terminal Server are now resolved, including:

        -Client not popping up

        -Problems popping when using MS Word

        -Interaction between user session and console session.

       See the OmniRush knowledge base article for Terminal Server (article 80).

 

 

***Viewer***

FIXED: When forwarding, user list was not alpha sorted.

FIXED: Hot keys on wizard to forward/link

 

 

Build 202:

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

CHANGED: Brooktrout Installer now automatically puts the '-n' option

         in the registry for all PCI installations.  This should improve

         the 'plug and play' factor on Brooktrout installations.
