198: Build 21.3.9 released
Dave Nichols, 04/02/2008

Build 21.3.9 has now been released (04/02/08).

This build has been tested in-house, however we cannot guarantee it to be problem free.

The major changes in this release are:

• Nearly all browses now have the ability to be alphabetically sorted on any column. This requires that all records are loaded, then sorted before being displayed. So its not advisable to do it on very large lists (like you entire materials catalogue).
• All browse prints now use the List & Label report engine and not the Clarion one, so results should be more consistent and controllable.
• The concept of a read-only user has been introduced. Read-only users do not consume user licences. They cannot change anything, they can only 'look'. What they are allowed to see is controlled using the normal security scheme.
• A secure remote backup facility has been introduced. This is available to all on the support scheme and allows you to backup critical data (like the Match-IT databases) to a remote store across the internet. The mechanism is fast and secure.
• The concept of a default-set has been introduced. This is most useful in the context of configuring new customers. Setup a default set for say, German, customers, then every time you add a 'German' customer just attach the German default set to it. This is done via the Apply This Set default.
