New FirstClass Client v10 is out

The FC v10 server should follow soon after.

This new client will be updated to all our customers sites that have our RA Service Contract.  You will find it on your client download page Your-Domain.org/ClientDownoads/

I also want to advise not install this client update if you are not going to be updating the FC 10 core server any time soon. Most of the new features and benefits are only working on a FC 10 Server and there are some known issues (see the list below). Due to these factors it may not be a benefit to use the FC 10 client at this time.  As always, administrate the version of the server with the same version of the FC Client.

If you have any questions please let me know.

Features, Fixes and Changes

• Added Wipe and Wipe status fields to Preferences -> Handheld tab (they were previously added in 9.1 but not moved to 10).
• Macintosh pasting improved.
• Space bar scrolling in message bodies moves one whole screen at a time instead of 1/3.
• MP3 player now supports QuickTime atoms in MP3 files.
• Search functions in the message body updated to work in UTF8. This includes selection by word, spell check, search and replace. All of these functions were broken in the presence of non-7-bit character codes.
• Search string is now highlighted when you open an item from a hit list. FIXED
• Opening documents via links (both in Help and elsewhere) now works properly instead of causing a 1081 error. FIXED
• Charset with UTF8 (OFF) and 9.1 server always stayed with UTF8, now adjusts to Mac Roman on Mac and Win Latin on Windows/Linux.
• A number of UTF8 issues have been fixed.
• Resized Server Monitor and Advanced Mail forms so that there should be enough space to display the text for all tabs on a single line, without wrapping. FIXED
• Folders corresponding to exported messages didn't begin with ___, which is needed for import to recognize that the folder represents a message. FIXED
• Missing strings in Preference form. FIXED
• Adding new contact from phone message now knows it's a phone number.
• The Linux client no longer crashes when clicking on the Messaging tab under Edit -> Preferences. FIXED
• Possible crash when receiving outlook mail. FIXED
• There are now only three types of calendars that can be printed: Day, Week, and Month views. Each type can be printed normally (similar to the on-screen view) or printed as a list (similar to the old Today List).
• Print Tasks, which prints a list of all ongoing tasks, applies only when printing a list.
• A view equivalent to the old Today List can be obtained by printing a Day View as a list with Print Tasks checked off.
• There are new properties controlling the data that can be printed. Users can optionally print end times, locations, icons, and the name of the person who created each event.
• A new property allows the user to specify that only events falling during working hours should be printed.
• Printing as a list is two-column unless one or both of Print Event Creator and Print Locations are checked.
• Print Layout has a new option to control whether the calendar header is printed or not.
• The list of open calendars is printed in the main calendar header (left of the mini-month views).
• Calendar printing now respects the user's time zone. FIXED
• Day headers use less space in list mode, and there is less space between events, allowing more events to fit on a page.
• Fixed errors with general header printing, so that the name of the person printing the file will always be displayed when requested.
• Fixed printing of calendar titles; the title is now a list of all viewed calendars.
• Monthly calendars now printing with the correct date range in the calendar header. FIXED
• Calendar printing now properly prints multiple months/weeks/days. FIXED
• Punch-through events and events with a colour explicitly set are printed with the appropriate colours in all views. FIXED
• An error where the print dialog could become useless (clicking buttons would do nothing) after printing multiple times on the Mac. FIXED
• Clicking 'Default' on the Print Layout dialog no longer resets all preferences. FIXED
• Cross Timezone makes calendar month view messed up. FIXED
• Current day highlight in month view now respects the user's time zone. FIXED
• Week view now properly highlights the current day. FIXED
• Incorrect dates shown in calendar when used in day/week/month views. FIXED
• When creating an event directly from the calendar pane, the letters A, M, and P are no longer interpreted as part of the time unless they form (exactly) AM or PM, and are not part of another word like Amusing. FIXED
