Release 4.77 November 19, 2010 barney

System would crash and upload a crash report on trying to print or preview a report. Occurs when c9 is started with a valid printer but the printer was later disconnected (i.e. c9 running on a laptop). Fixes in this version better handle this condition and report an error condition and allow the user to keep using the software
On update terminal software - automatically restart c9 with /warmup option. If server is running then restart with /server option instead
On crash - dump some usefull postgres stats -such as locks and activity
Fixed critical bug where transaction frameing would get out of sync - resulting in user actions being lost. Bug introduced with fixes to 4.72 that targeted fixing master file import. Specifically the change to optimise in manual txn frame selects with cursors was mis-implemented

Release 4.76 November 18, 2010 barney

Bugfix - do not put accounts spares invoice returns into cash till report
Dealership details - do not blank out sub email address like accounts if it is same as master address. This is confusing user experience
Dealership details - record dealer licence no and repairer licence no

Tweaked prop table index in c9 so it is considered to be case sensitive - to match postgres indexing schema

Release 4.75 November 17, 2010 barney

Fixed bug with setting master email and accounts email used for printing on portrait style statement

Release 4.74 November 16, 2010 barney

Import CSV/XLS file. Cope with situation where single CSV field may be longer than 256 bytes (when reading in a binary file by mistake - such as a corrupt .xls file - this may indeed occurs - previously would cause c9 to crash)

Release 4.73 November 15, 2010 barney

Modified c9 database access to respect NOCASE key option when building filter clauses. This will have further reaching impacts than just login. It should also boost performance because database indexes are optimised on assumption of casing but c9 code was not. So realigning c9 to database should yield better query performance results

Fixed bug with pos import parts - would not work for anything.
Fixed backup - was not backing up new sequence introduced in 4.72 for new loghead table
Added more intelligence for connecting to database server to try and cope with Yamaha's VPN. WINs host resolution stops working when VPN is active. To deal with this - we store alternate connection data for the database server which uses IP address - and this is created everytime we successfully connenct to the DB. So when VPN is running and host name based connect fails we fallback to using the last known successful IP address instead

Release 4.72 November 14, 2010 barney

Fixed bug with terminal configuration settings. When running two c9's simultaneously under some circumstances terminal setting changes would be lost when toggling between the applications quickly
Account Statements - provide a portrait style. (Existing landscape style is still available)
OPEA Export - option to automatically email order instead of saving to a file
OPEA Import - fixed potential high memory usage bug (PostgreSQL cursor optimisation would not work under some circumstances resulting in high terminal memory usage. This has happening during OPEA supercession check)
OPEA Import - Goto print preview automatically for import report
OPEA Import - Log import report into c9*.log file as the report builds up - incase of crash
OPEA Import - Save log import results in the database so they can be reviewed and reprinted later
Accounts - display notes icon on various account browsers to indicate whether or not account has a note
Reports - fixed printing of thin line and boxes. Sometimes lines would be missing in reports because of antialiasing effects.
