In this situation users, were taken straight into PhonePad without logging in, but they were unable to send or receive messages and the Address Book was blank (this was because the user wasn&#8217;t actually logged in).\u00c2\u00a0 Code has been added to check for these inconsistencies in the configuration and to prevent this from happening. In addition, PhonePad will in most cases tell you how to fix the problem.\u00c2\u00a0 These errors are now also logged to ErrorLogViewer.<\/li>\n<li>\u00c2\u00a0A lot of error handling built in to PhonePad had suddenly stopped working due to an obscure bug.\u00c2\u00a0 This has been fixed.<\/li>\n<li>The configuration checks within DBConnect have been expanded with some additional checks and more detailed information on how to correct any issues.\u00c2\u00a0 The interface has also been improved and it&#8217;s now possible to print out the configuration checks so you have something to work from.\u00c2\u00a0 In other words, if DBConnect finds some things wrong with your PhonePad configuration, you can print a hard copy (or export to PDF) of what is wrong and how to fix it (or you can send it to us so we can tell you how to fix it).<\/li>\n<li>Some users have been experiencing Access Denied errors when trying to save settings in DBConnect, due to over-restrictive Windows permissions.\u00c2\u00a0 To get around this, all applications in the PhonePad suite have been changed to allow the configuration file (PhonePad.ini) to be located in one of a few different folders.\u00c2\u00a0 Where the Access Denied errors occur, DBConnect will automatically and transparently store the configuration file in another folder.\u00c2\u00a0 All PhonePad applications now know how to locate the file so this should happen without any user intervention.<\/li>\n<li>A problem was discovered with opening <em>text<\/em> messages (not to be confused with SMS messages) in the Sent folder.\u00c2\u00a0 Due to a bug in sending <em>text<\/em> messages, the messages would be successfully sent but the copy of the sent message would be missing an internal identifier, preventing the message from being viewed.\u00c2\u00a0 This has been fixed.<\/li>\n<li>When PhonePad was run in Remote Mode (aka client\/server), if the connection to the server (DBServer) was lost PhonePad would appear to freeze or hang.\u00c2\u00a0 In fact, what was actually happening was that PhonePad was continually trying to reconnect to the server.\u00c2\u00a0 This behavior has been changed so that PhonePad will try to automatically make 5 reconnection attempts and then tell the user that the server connection has been lost.\u00c2\u00a0 The user will be given the option to attempt again or to close PhonePad.<\/li>\n<li>The PhonePad installer has been modified in an attempt to make it a little less confusing when installing PhonePad.\u00c2\u00a0 The Installation Guide has been updated in line with these changes.<\/li>\n<li>Searching for text in the Subject field resulted in an error.\u00c2\u00a0 This has been fixed.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>You do <strong>not<\/strong> need to run <strong>DBUpdate<\/strong> after installing this specific upgrade (there have been no database changes), <strong>unless<\/strong> you are upgrading from a version prior to 4.22.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We are pleased to announce the release of PhonePad Version 4.24 (4.24.0.1).\u00c2\u00a0 This is a maintenance release that addresses a number of important issues: An issue was identified where PhonePad would start with no user account when PhonePad was not configured correctly.
