    • Optimised reporting to take advantage of PostgreSQL. Takes a few seconds now, instead of about a minute
  • Bugfix with character encoding on the database. The way extended characters like the degree (°) symbol were being written between java and postgres was incorrect. Storage of such characters in postgres is incorrect. Would cause writes to database to fail under some circumstances. (i.e. selling parts with such symbols in header, where header length was full up 30 characters). Bugfix corrects for this by firstly correctly managing encoding between c9 and postgres. It also contains support to detect and attempt to properly decode incorrectly coded characters (coded into database as UTF-8 when should be encoded using ISO-8859-1)
