This topic contains historical information on changes, enhancements and corrections to XStudio PostMajik by version number and date. For the most recent changes and enhancements, see the What's New topic.
1.Enhancement. Support for Scheduled Events has been added. See the topic Scheduled Events in the Station Database Management section for information on how they work and how to set up and manage scheduled events.
2.Enhancement. When a XStudio PostMajik registration (license) expires or when an unregistered XStudio PostMajik trial expires, the server no longer shuts down completely. Instead, XStudio PostMajik stops all station posting activity and continues to run, although no station posting occurs. The change makes it easier to register the product, correct registration problems (most commonly an expired license), or work on setting up stations and their databases.
3.Enhancement. An option has been added to PostMajik Client to view the server error log on-demand.
4.Change. Using the [Tab] key to move among property fields in the station post item edit dialog has been enabled to ease navigation when editing a station post item.
5.Change. When a user manually stops the XStudio PostMajik server with PostMajik Client, attempts to auto-reconnect to the server's communication module are stopped. The effect is a reduction in error messages appearing in the system status windows. Since the user intended to stop the server, there is no benefit to attempting to reconnect until the user chooses to restart the server.
6.Fix. When editing an RDS message or message template, it was possible to make the first line blank (no text or variables) by simply pressing the [Enter] key. Since RDS messages are limited to one line, this had the effect of creating a blank message. Now, PostMajik Client checks to make sure there is at least one character (excluding the carriage return) when validating the message or template when the user is done editing.
1.Enhancement. Support for a "User-Defined" RDS encoder has been added. When using this encoder type, you must place any required identifiers (i.e., "RT=" or other command text) in your RDS post item templates. For additional information on using a user-defined encoder, see the topic on Supported RDS Encoders.
2.Fix. When changing RDS encoder types while editing a post item, some properties, including available text type options, did not update properly. The problem was particularly noticeable when changing from an encoder that supports only radio text to another that supports all options.
3.Fix. In version 1.0.2, a non-critical FTP log-out error was inadvertently forwarded for logging in a station's error log data table. The original behavior to log the error but not post it to the station's error log data table has been restored.
1.Enhancement. A new posting item option, "Write Data as ANSI Text" has been added. This option is enabled by default. When enabled, post item message text is converted to ANSI text before it is written to the output file. Some processors of the post item file may not be able to handle today's standard Unicode text and this option helps overcome any potential problems. Note that when you update XStudio PostMajik to this version, all existing post items are automatically updated and this option is enabled.
2.Enhancement. New post item template variables have been added. Included are the the Cart Category and 2 time stamps, one specifically for XML files (ISO8601 standard) and one for the day-of-the-week and time.
