- Harley Master file import : supercession slot contained things which which are not part numbers. Such as "AFTERMARKET", "CFITMENTCOMMENTS" and "VINTAGEPARTS". Modified c9 so that on Harley import, if super cession slot does not contain a 'part' with at least one digit, assume the master file is dodgy and assume part does not supercede.
- Miner bulk mail merge:
- Detect duplicate SMS/Email could not handle SMS/Email with multiple lines. Now fixed

- Profit summary. Modified unit profit figure to factor in rebates, writeback and other costs.
- Website structure overhaul. Make it easier to setup data by centralising setup activities under business. Also includes useful things such as a consolidated image gallery viewer.
Bugfix with receiving orders. The system would allow you to receive Order A#, type in parts for Order B# and update parts for both A# and B#. But there was a bug; Order B# would not update it's status in such a way that things like F12 customer pickup would refresh and display new orders ready for pickup. Bug fix will exhaustively test all open orders that might be impacted by a receive order and update them if necessary.
- Modifications to printer sub system so it can cope with unusual printers, such as Zebra barcoder. Pre remote version of c9 did work, but functionality was broken with changes where c9 forced printer to use print setup attributes such as A4 paper etc. C9 now checks details of printer and only sets print job attributes if it is not going to cause print job to fail with an error.
- Account discount tab - also allow setting of discount % rate on this tab

- Bugfix with paying out a unit. Payout would not create a business activity record
- Bugfix with taking floorplan payments of any kind. Under some circumstances these payments would reflect on cash till report when they never should do any such thing.
- Modifications to online backup client. Some algorithm/bugfix tweaks: performance and state changes. Integrity of backups not an issue. e.g. backup would transmit incremental changes twice, because of a bug in windowing algorithm: doubling bandwidth required for online backups. Now only transmits once.
- Spares discounting - add ability to control what cost price to use. Options:
- Actual cost price : either lastincost or dailybuy depending on the situation
- Daily buy only
- Stock buy only
- Charts - added charts for reporting customer rentention and statistics relating to repeat customers
- Online backup - backup was not synchronizing correctly if there were many online backups running at the same time conflicting and overwriting one another. Backup was supposed to deal with this situation, but bug in software meant it was not working properly. Also design problems. Redesigned with server and client changes to ensure only one active stream of replication data is running at any given time.
Bugfix : version 4.188 introduced a change that could cause Point of Sale to lockup under some circumstances. This version fixes this.
