DataNow Affinity - Version History

To find what version of Affinity you are currently using, go to the Licenses tab in the Options dialog. The version will be listed in the lower left hand corner of the screen.

Affinity updates can be applied by downloading and installing the latest installation package from http://www.umdata.com. The installation package will automatically update any Affinity version that is already on the workstation. You do not need to uninstall the previous version. You do not need to obtain a new license to install an update for the same major product version. Multiple versions of Affinity can run at the same site without conflict. You do not need to plan a major deployment to update all workstations at the same time.

1.0.184 - March 19, 2008

1. NEW: Multiple template search items can now be combined using the OR operator in the Image Enable Screen dialog. Only AND combinations were available previously.
   


2. NEW: Wildcard-style searches are now supported for template fields in the Image Enable Screen dialog.
   


3. FIX: If Affinity is launched implicitly due to a request for an instance of ImageEnableScriptingObject in a program or script, the user will be prompted to log on unless they have configured Affinity to log on automatically. In some circumstances, the logon dialog could be obscured by other windows. To prevent the logon dialog from getting lost, it is now displayed as a fixed top-level window when Affinity is launched implicitly. The logon dialog will still display normally (not a fixed top-level window) when the user launches Affinity manually.

1.0.183 - February 16, 2008

1. NEW:  When the LF Client is loaded and opened from the Toolkit, LF hides the main file browser window, and opens a second window to display the file browser or search results. When the user closes the visible window, and unless they use File > Exit from the menu to close the entire application, the hidden browser window remains open in the background, tying up a connection/license. Affinity now detects this scenario and closes the hidden window, freeing the license. By default, a maximum of 10 seconds will pass before Affinity unloads the client.
   
   In environments where other solutions using the LF Toolkit are present, it may not be desirable for Affinity to unload the LF client automatically. This feature can be disabled or reconfigured to use a different time threshold. Please contact support for detailed instructions if necessary.
   
   If a user opens an electronic document from the LF Client and closes the browser window, but leaves the electronic document open, they will receive the following prompt when Affinity unloads the client. 
   
   “There are electronic documents open. If you exit this repository, you will not be able to save any changes to the repository. Do you still wish to exit the repository?”
   
   This is the same behavior the user should expect if they were to exit the LF Client from the menu using File > Exit. To avoid this message, users should be trained to close the electronic document before closing the LF browser window.
   
   
2. NEW:  In some cases where two screens in the same application are very similar, Affinity may not be able to differentiate the screens. Screen recognition sensitivity is now configurable per application. Please contact support for instructions to configure this feature if required for your target application.
   
   
3. BUG FIX:  The folder browser dialog would raise the error “Type Mismatch” if a shortcut to a folder was encountered.
   
   
4. BUG FIX:  The floating toolbar sometimes appeared blank or painted incorrectly in Windows Vista. This occurred most often during startup if Affinity was set to log on automatically, or if the toolbar orientation changed when repositioned.

1.0.163 - January 30, 2008

1. BUG FIX: The following error was raised incorrectly during registration and license activation if the current Laserfiche server had zero read-only licenses.
   “An internal error occurred during validation. Please contact support."

1.0.160 - January 12, 2008

1. NEW:  Affinity Quick Start guide added to installation. This is a PDF file that is launched after installation. It can also be accessed from the Affinity Programs group in the Start menu. The quick start guide includes information about new features such as the MS Office full-text search utility and product activation.
   
   
2. NEW:  Microsoft Word/Excel full text search feature. This feature can be enabled per-user in the Options dialog. 
   
   
3. NEW:  Product activation feature allows both full and demo licenses to be acquired immediately over the Internet from the Affinity Licensing server. First-time installation at a site will guide the user through the activation/registration process.
   
   
4. NEW:  Hot keys (keyboard shortcuts) can be assigned to screen capture functions (searching and adding new documents). Hot keys are configured in the Options dialog.
   
   
5. NEW: The Affinity installation package now includes the Laserfiche runtime. The runtime does not have to be installed separately.
   
   
6. NEW:  The user’s local executable filter is automatically updated when a user logs on to Affinity the first time.
   
   
7. BUG FIX:  Floating toolbar did not always show outline or windows contents when dragging.
   
   
8. BUG FIX:  Session icon menu would not close automatically when losing focus.
