D. Release Notes
New Features:
• Mailbox synchronization.
• Containers are not synched during the initial Personal synch. Only directory synching is done. This allows the user to select the container/s they want to synch and or turn on logging.
• Personal no longer runs the CPU at 100%. Laptop batteries should last considerably longer when running Personal.
• Support added for extended characters (UTF8).
Fixes:
• File left open issue (User's Desktop).
• Time zone setting preferences from the user's account should now be configured properly on the Personal server account.
• NDNs should no longer be generated if the user's Personal directory does not include the participants found in synched events.
• According to Personal's log, the Audit was suppose to run after Personal shutdown, but the audit did not actually run.
• Offline Conferences: Conference creation loop
• Cancel button on Replication form now works.
• Account registration: Passwords no longer limited to 12 bytes.
• Very old Personal Post Offices did not have the MailBox subtype set. Because of this, Personal has been changed to open the Personal user's MailBox by FID instead of type.
• Numerous changes made for supporting extended characters.
Known Issues / Limitations:
• On initial install, the FirstClass Personal server will run in a non UTF8 enabled mode, it will however automatically switch to an UTF8 enabled mode if connecting to a UTF8 enabled FirstClass Server.
