5.4 Build 449.6: Info on update released October 26, 2001 Through November 18, 2001

449.6 is a minor update to the 449.5 Build. The minor update was released twice under the same build number to avoid confusion. The AUP November release was done on November 27, but the November release is documented as November 18 since that is when the changes were completed and the CDs were burned. If you are new to 449.6, please read the 449.5 change history.

449.6 October release

wcOnline.exe

Fixed Problems with wcNavigator Connections. WcCore.DLL and wcGUIAGT.DLL files were updated.

New features

For WEB system, you can now have Mail Area and File Area description files display on the web during non-frame mode. (Detail)

wcBasic

New library: FileInfoLib.wcc/wch used for extraction file information. This module is used by the ANSI and WEB file uploader.
WEB MAIL: Changed the error "Creating Thread Object" to "Message deleted or Message not found" (HTML-READ MESSAGE.WCC)
ANSI Upload Private Files prompt will now loop check the response provided by uploader when providing a user name. (UPLOAD.WCC)
Fixed TIMEUTIL.WCX GetSecondsXXXXX() functions. It did not account for the seconds for past days, only seconds within the current day.
Enhanced HTML-WHO.WCC by adding Time (hh:mm:ss) column to display. The template changed: http\template\whos_online.htm

The following wcBasic changes fixed older WCX compatibility problems:

Renamed htmlutil-msg.wcc function WebConferenceListing() back to ConferenceListing()
Created HaveNewMailEx() and added back the old HaveNewMail() function to htmlutil-msg.wcc
449.5 added a new module called MSGLIB.WCC. For 449.6, this module was merged into msgutil.wcc. MSGLIB.WCC is no longer part of the plus pack.

Templates

In 449.5, uploadok.htm was renamed to file_uploadok.htm but it had the wrong information.
WHOS_ONLINE.HTM was changed to support a TIME column.

AutoUpdate (AUP Version Control)

New check files for AUP directories were created:

http\images\verinfo.dat
http\template\verinfo.dat
http\public\graphics\verinfo.dat

These files must not change for proper AUP updating. If missing, the entire directory will be updated.

Web file client

Numerous enhancements and some fixes to the Web file client

Added WCT support to many of the file templates.
Fixed some frame vs non-frame web page issues.
Added FILE_ID.DIZ import support via WEB uploads.

Note: Dynamic hiding of the prompt is only supported under IE 5.0+ browsers.
Netscape does not support DOM as of this time.
