New Product Features and Enhancements
The new features and fixes (since FirstClass Server 10 Build 817 and Internet Services 10 Build 9.988) are listed in this section.
Note that FirstClass Server 10 and FirstClass Internet Services 10 now require 64-bit machines. In addition, more memory may be necessary and the network store will be significantly larger.
For Windows machines, Windows 2008 64-bit and Windows 2003 64-bit are supported. FirstClass Server no longer runs on Windows 2003 32-bit or Windows 2000.
FirstClass Server
- General server performance improvements.
- Improved performance of notifications to users of events (particularly new deliveries to conferences).
- Improved performance of checking to see if sessions have any timed objects (desktop tinkle, Who's Online lists that auto-refresh, etc.) that refresh automatically.
- Improved Server monitor updates with respect to thread pools.
- Enhancements to gateway performance, fix for idled sessions with active transfers.
- Pool file cache buffers to help diagnose (and potentially slightly relieve) performance issues.
- Search more intelligently drops back to classic search, depending on the options selected and the query provided.
- Fix for partial matches not terminating the directory search when looking for an exact match.
- Fix for a timing bug that could send a new message without the unread flag on.
- Fix to send correct task limit numbers to the client
- Strengthened the check of when to suppress partial uploads.
- Fix for attachments with high ASCII characters.
- Fix for "wrong session found" issue.
- Check added to avoid crash during subscription removal.
- Unsend of messages now scans from the most recent message to the oldest, instead of the other way around.
- Change to allow large files (>2GB) to be mirrored properly.
- Fixed a crash in the mirroring code when deleting the fault queue on disk at startup.
- Fix to avoid expiring messages from the IS mailbox during a single container audit.
- Auditing the index will now have less effect on the remainder of the system, particularly when multiple full audits are run in quick succession.
- Change "My shared documents" folder into a conference.
- Audit can now expire users with longer than 31 character Userids.
- Index auditing is no longer performed by the MTA task and is therefore more aggressive about removing invalid entries in order to ensure memory consumption is more reasonable.
- [Windows] Disable the close box on the console window.
- [Windows] Fix Summary Traceback to contain more relevant frames in the (unlikely) event we crash.
- [Linux] Fixed problem where GetLargeMemoryInfo() could return negative values.
Internet Services (IS)
- OpenSSL library updated to addresses a man in the middle security vulnerability.
- TLS now functions properly when set to required
- Fixed uninitialized variables that were causing SMTP's SSL version checks to not function correctly in their default state.
- Fixed crash processing the CDUP command when at the root directory.
- Fixed typo that caused reverse index order to return inconsistent results for lower pane view filters.
- Fixed several WebDAV errors (bogus international dates, incorrect URL formatting for items in some Windows clients etc.).
- Fixed ResolveURLElToObjIDIndex so that it can resolve non-local URL elements when necessary.
- Tightened sanity checking of style structures. In particular, if fed a bogus list of style objects, the saved list size is reduced to prevent crashes.
- Fix for empty auto-fill reply bodies for items with dAltBodies.
- Fix for decoding MIME attachments
- Accept longer MIME part boundaries than the max specified in the RFC, but report (at level 1) about it.
- Fixed ordering problem in MIME types sort function.
- Changed resource loading criteria so that the presence of any site-specific resource files (not just icons.rez / pictures.rez / sounds.rez) causes IS to cache said resources as "site specific".
- Prevent the IdleIntegrityCheck from attempting to "repair" items locked for the purpose of dumping the cache.
- Fix for CRLF's being stripped from the plain text message bodies.
- Include the date&time in the dropout detection report.
- Fix problem with 'disappearing' message bodies when a message is RETRed more than once via POP3.
- The system close box is disabled on console windows to prevent unhandled application shutdown.
- Track sanity responses from the server so we can better detect link failures, especially on OS X and Linux.
- Reset the receive size for each stream when reading blackholed connections.
- Increase the blackhole read size to avoid clogging the TCP stack.
- Notification for APNS is now supported in IS.
- Redo some code to eliminate a potential source of SMTP crashes.
- Improved efficiency of configuration change checking.
- Fixed some missing close calls in SendContainerForm.
- Changed the redirect code for case-sensitive "login" tokens to 301 instead of 302 for all but the desktop.
- Use CleanAddress for outbound internet addresses instead of supporting the old comment,address,sitename format so that the workaround of using email,sitename in contact email field produces better results.
- Added the identity of who is logging in, or whether it is a public connection, to the task list entry for the login state.
- Added additional sanity checks in ::DoSendForm: .
- HTTPSendError: added some additional sanity checks to ensure that error templates are correctly unlocked once sent.
- Some additional sanity checks to prevent cross-interpretation of rendering and filling cache items.
- Plain text body: only need to clear hidden attachments once.
- Fixed crash when decoding improperly terminated base64 buffer.
- Better error handing when chunked memory manager returns NULL, so that attachments are silently mangled.
- Added config file option to disable the chunked memory manage (SET_DisableChunkedMemoryManager). Default value is 0 (false).
- Fixed an issue where the first SMTP transaction log entry after opening the file was discarded.
- Multi-line SMTP responses are now handled for all commands.
- Fix for non-break space handling to avoid errors with trailing 0xa0 characters in UTF-8 Japanese/etc. characters.
- Fix potential Japanese crash when receiving HTTP POST data.
- Added support for the Chinese GBK character set.
- Fix for irregular UTF-8 plain text output.
- Only allow UTF-8 in AltBodies, and only if Unicode is turned on in the server.
- Don't generate an empty text/plain part if we only get an dAltBody part (the output format is forced to only text/html).
- Fix an issue where excess data would be appended to the dAltBody part in inbound SMTP messages.
- Corrected aggressive whitespace stripping that resulted in single spaces being stripped between X-FC- tags outputting lang strings.
- Fixed error handling skinning instructions for X-FC-BODY under some circumstances.
- Fixed several potential logging crashes in X-FC-BODY (HTTP Script at level 4).
- HeaderMatch Document 10.0 SP1
- Disables compression to avoid an issue in IE6 when handling compressed HTTP transfers after a redirect.
- Defined interface constants and basic setup for the OTSM Screenreader templates.
- Several fixes to correct protocol issues with specific WebDAV clients, particularly WinXP's OS DAV mounter.
- Ignore traditional FirstClass Web UI selections in the user preferences for sites with a OTSM template set defined in their .siteprefs.
- Set the "clientlogintype" switch appropriately when using OTSM templates.
