KINNEXUS 3.2 FEATURES

Kinnexus 3.2 is a minor upgrade to Kinnexus 3.0, the previous official release. It fixes some bugs and enhances some features. Changes listed here are those which may interest end users. A number of modifications to server features and improvements in server stability are not listed.

E-Mail and AutoMail

  • Some 3.0 users had difficulty with changes to mail settings disappearing on some machines. 3.2 corrects this.
  • On some occasions on some machines, Windows does finish closing a newly-generated PDF attachment in time for that file to be attached to a new mail message that is opening. Kinnexus 3.2 waits longer for the attachment to become available.
  • The Mail Attachment Properties dialog now includes a progress bar to show Kinnexus' progress creating a PDF file for attachment to an e-mail message.
  • If a PDF file to be created and mailed exceeds 10 pages -- and may therefore be too long to be e-mailed -- a warning now appears, and the user is offered an opportunity to cancel the process.
  • In the Mail Attachment Properties wizard, "Format" is renamed "Report," and "Layout" (which was generally unused) is removed.
  • Kinnexus 3.2 supports the option to have a copy of each automail message to a contact saved in the Kinnexus user's Sent box.

Searches

  • Saved search properties now include the option to exclude a search from the To Do list.
  • It is now possible to search for NULL values in a field.

Wizards, Reports, Etc.

  • Text fields in data entry wizards now allow multiple lines.
  • Office resource sharing is fixed, so reports, list views, configurations, etc., belonging to the office can be made available to users within that office.
  • A screen redraw problem in the form editor is fixed.
  • The form editor is more stable.
  • Wizard branching is fixed.

Miscellany

  • Installation, icons, etc., now support Windows Vista.
  • Cold starts are now faster in the phase where the server selects resources to be transferred to the client (user's) machine.
  • Software updates no longer happen automatically. Instead, a user must download an update from www.kinnexus.com. This change accommodates stricter security in Windows XP and Vista.
  • The automatic mapping (geocoding) of listings is faster and more accurate.
  • The occasional "KxLib out of memory" error is much rarer.
  • A bug in the mechanism which can connect different types of data (associated dataclasses) in a Kinnexus database is fixed, allowing much better handling of such things as open houses.
