5.5 Build 450.2: Info on update released July 9, 2002

Special notes about this update

V5.5 Build 450.2 is a minor update over 450.1.
HOWEVER, it is a major update if you are upgrading from v5.4.449.6 previous versions. You should read the AUP 450.1 history changes.
A converter tool is required (convertwc55.exe) to convert from v5.4.449.6 or less to v5.5.
Before you run the AUTOUPDATE, make sure Wildcat! is shutdown completely. AUTOUPDATE does tells you to shut it down, but some people don't read the initial screen.
After you run the AUTOUPDATE, you need to do two things:

Run Convertwc55.exe if you are upgrading from v5.4.449.6 or anything less. If you currently have 450.1, you don't need to run this conversion utility.
Run AddPrompts.exe to update the language prompts. A new switch /FULL was added to perform a complete prompts update.
Previous, it only added new ones. If you converting, you need to use the /FULL switch.
If you have a license for wcReports, you should also run wcReportsUpgrade.exe

WCSERVER.EXE had a kill date of May 31. Removed and immediately re-released on May 31.
Wildcat! SDK function, DeleteFileRec(), now honors the TFileRec.NeverDelete option.
Note: automated tools expecting to be able to delete records, must be aware of the records NeverDelete flag.

AUP distribution of wcRefresh.wcx was recompiled for LFN support. (More about wcRefresh)
Note: It was missing from distribution since 449.6

AddPrompts.exe was updated.
For 450.1, customers were required to copy the prompts.new file over the language\wildcat.wcp to get the full new 450.1 prompts.
The AddPrompts.exe utility did not change existing prompts nor did it remove old prompts.
The new 450.2 AddPrompts.exe now has a /FULL switch which will allow you to update prompts which has changed and remove old prompts.
TIP: Run AddPrompts.exe /FULL , allow it to analyze the changes and then answer N to the "final update proceed" question. Then review the log file addprompts.log to see what prompts were changed.
If you modified any of the base package prompts, you will lose the changes if you perform a /FULL update. Make a backup of the language\wildcat.wcp or use the WCPROMPT.EXE utility to export the current prompts to *.PRM files.

Fixed Convertwc55.exe utility to read the configuration data path to locate the files database.
Converter now copies the SystemPassword (if defined) from the from HKEY_CURRENT_USER wildcat folder to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE wildcat location. This eliminates the need to run wcSYSPW again to reset the password in the new location.

Fixed bug reading badly formatted BASE64 messages.
Note: wcMail v.5.5.450.2 was AUP released on June 7, 2002, 5:00pm

Fixed some compatibility problem with wcReports (in general VB applets)
If you have Microsoft OCX missing files when you run wcReports, use the wcReportsUpgrade.exe setup to install the missing files.

Default Security Profile home page now works for HTM and WCT extensions. The *.WCT file is searched. If not found, the *.HTM is searched. If not found, the default index page is used.
Fixed redirection to proper default home page after a new questionnaire is completed. The fix includes support for default Security Profile home page.
Updated MIME_TYPES.CFG with new mime types (i.e., text/html xml required for IE browser)
Fixed all web pages escaping/unescaping issues originating with fixing bug of downloading of files with long file names.
Fixed extra "/" in URL when URL has "PUBLIC/"
Fixed a bug in 449.5 where a new user account created, but did not complete the quesnew questionnaire did not delete the account.
Web Server IP Address Binding - unofficial support item! (Detail)

Added support for outgoing e-mail footers (no X-headers are supported since it will require extension header parsing). Only the conference 0 footer will be read.
SMTP will now strip the "/" string found in the user name prior to authentication. I believe this will help users who have virus protectors designed to have a SMTP login field format of "username/domain" as part of the virus protector shell. However, if the user disables the virus protector, the setup is still there in the SMTP client thus causing authentication errors (user "username/domain" user not found).

File Owner can no longer delete a file, only the File area Sysop (this was added in 450.1, but was incorrect)
File Owner/sysop can now overwrite/replace a file.
New FTP trace log option (Detail)
Anonymous FTP Connections limits (Detail)

Restored the call type in wcRadius back to DIALUP call type. This fixes the multiple logon problem.

POP3 will now strip the "/" string found in the user name prior to authentication. I believe this will help users who have virus protectors designed to have a POP3 login field format of "username/domain" as part of the virus protector shell. However, if the user disables the virus protector, the setup is still there in the POP3 client thus causing authentication errors (user "username/domain" user not found).
Fixed a minor bug with the "TOP x y" command, shows double dots.
Fixed a BASE64 conversion buffer overwrite bug.

New file wciphlpapi.dll is now distributed with WINSERVER.
A new DLL called wciphlpapi.dll is now required by WINSERVER. This new DLL resolves the 450.1 dependency on the Microsoft IP helper library (iphlpapi.dll) which is not found on NT 4.0, Win 9x systems unless it was specifically installed by the user (usually software developers or some other Microsoft application).
What this means is that, a) v5.5.450.2 will once again work on ALL Windows operating systems, and b) that wcSMTP will fall back to only using 1 DNS server address when the Microsoft DLL (iphlpapi.dll) is not installed on the machine. When installed, wcSMTP will support multiple DNS address lookups.
"Check for Mail" access check. ANSI/TELNET Logins only.
A popular request was "How do you disable the automatic check for mail during logins?" The typical answer was wcBasic recoding of the LOGON.WCC module. Now ANSI/LOGONS will check to see if the user has "Check for Mail" access. You can set/unset the access in wcCONFIG | Access Profiles | Menus
