Remote Print Management 5.1.0.95 released
The Elite version continues to track the Select version. Elite specific changes are called out below.
Summary of changes in version 5.1.0.95:
- Fixed a bug that cause the Append Bytes and Insert Bytes transforms to not work correctly when they were used together. The Append Bytes transform didn't append in this instance. Generally this should work for any transform combination now.
- The Text Markup to PDF transform now expects the input to be UTF-8, rather than trying to detect what the input is. This puts the responsibility back on the administrator to recognize the input data types correctly, as automatic code page recognition is still not a best practice.
- The email action now correctly reports when a wrong user login or password is used.
INTELLIscribe
We just released version 4.1 of INTELLIscribe
our LPR print client. The notable items for this release include the 64 bit port monitor. We programmed the install program to install the right 64 bit files automatically. Either way, if you are running 64 bit or 32 bit Windows, this installer and program will work for you.
This version of INTELLIscribe has been used successfully at many customer sites for several months as a beta. Where INTELLIscribe is a critical element at a number of sites, we felt it was best to let the program remain as a beta release and give time for problem reports to develop. However, where it has been stable, we simply removed the beta label.
Other changes include:
- the control file "title" attribute is now the correct file name. You might not notice this unless you were sending to a software print server such as RPM.
- in the previous version, a thread could hang which would cause the INTELLIscribe service to not shut down properly. This is resolved.
