Release Notes

Version 5.3.7  (03 June 2024)

Enhancements

• Members
  • When adding new Friends & Family records, the Allow Check-In switch defaults to off. This is now controlled by a new membership preference, so it can be set to default on or off.
• Views
  • A saved search query can now be assigned to a View so it runs automatically when the View is opened. The default saved query (current functionality) still runs when no specific "Auto Query" has been set for the View.
• Database Backups
  • The Backup Timeout preference now has an option for 0 (wait indefinitely) and a max of 3600 instead of 120 seconds to allow for slower connections (for hosted database) or larger databases.
  • A new Backup Validation preference controls whether the system will attempt to open and verify the "Completed" message is included in the finished backup file. On large databases, the backup file can be very large, and opening the file to read it can result in an out-of-memory error. Since it is rare that a backup is invalid when no other error occurred, this preference enables you to turn off this final check.
  • Backups are now initially written to the system temp directory, then copied to the desired destination after completion. This should elimininate issues where the selected backup location is a synced folder like OneDrive or Dropbox, because the constant syncing can interrupt the backup process and cause "file in use" errors.

Problems/Issues Fixed

• When saving basic criteria that includes "NOT LIKE" comparison, the "NOT" part is omitted and it is stored as "LIKE", resulting in the opposite search result.
• An error occurs when sending email when the machine name of the sender exceeds 20 char.
• An error occurs copying the backup file from the temp directory to your target location if the locations are on different physical drives. (5.3.7.1)
