New features added since CorporateTime 4.2

• Authentication-Compression-Encryption (ACE) framework increases the level of security of CorporateTime. Chose what type of authentication, compression and encryption mechanisms to use, and a system that can react if the preferred mechanisms are not available.
• Users can toggle between different sets of sign-in preferences. The system stores each set of preferences and the Connection Manager switches between them.
• Powerful text searching capability extends the way users can access data in their agendas. You can specify whether to search for a string or an attendee, in an Agenda, in an event field, or over a time range. Perform single string searches, sub-string searches and case-insensitive searches.
• Open up to the rest of the Internet by communicating with non-CorporateTime users. External e-mail notification allows you to add any e-mail address to the distribution list. Send a vCalendar or iCalendar attachment or a textual description in the body of the e-mail message.
• CorporateTime 5.0 includes an HTML-based context-sensitive Help system, which is fast becoming the Help standard of choice.
• Print using new features such as the ability to print declined meetings and to print in colour.
• Improved performance through such techniques as data compression.

New features added since CorporateTime 4.1

New features added since CorporateTime 4.0

• The initial release of CorporateTime 5.0 (Build #1000928) will not work with CorporateTime Server 4.0. We have fixed this limitation and have re-shipped the application. If you are using CorporateTime 5.0 (Build #1000928) with CorporateTime Server 4.0, please upgrade to CorporateTime 5.0 (Build # 1001004).
• When downloading using CorporateTime 3.4.2 with CorporateTime Server 5.0 or later, your off-line password will be changed to an empty password. When migrating from CorporateTime 3.4.2 to CorporateTime 5.0, you will be asked for your off-line password after you have migrated the off-line files.
• In order to have the complete CorporateTime 5.0 feature set, you must use CorporateTime Server 5.0 with the Enhancement Pack 1 or CorporateTime Server 5.1.
• The Address Book settings will not be saved when you change them to display other information.
• Exporting an Event in the ASCII file format will not export the location information. (#10816)
• If you create a repeating meeting while working in the MEZ-1MESZ time zone, you will see yesterday's date in the Additional Date field. (#11527)
• If you give Access Rights to a user and then download his Agenda, you will not have access to his Tasks. (#11655)
• When importing a file, clicking on Cancel will not always stop the process. (#11831)
• Reconciling your Daily Notes, Day Events and Meetings will cause more than one dialog box to appear. (#12641)

• Reminders do not appear by default when importing a vCalendar file. (#13308)
• When doing a directory search, first or last names that contain a space must be entered using "^" to replace the space. (#13309)
• When performing an Agenda Search, you may receive a message stating that no match has been found. It is possible that the server has not even been reached in that time period and so you are advised to try again. Your system administrator can change the time interval setting by adding the following parameter to the ENG section of the server unison.ini:

    [ENG]
    eventsearch_maxlookthroughlimit = 5000
(#13380)
• Automatic Sign-in is enabled with Windows 2000 and NT. With Windows 95, Windows 98 and Windows ME, the Automatic Sign-in box appears to be enabled even though it is not. (#13484)
• In addition to these limitations, here are those of CorporateTime 4.2:
• Writing to a device that is not ready (e.g. a drive with no disk inside) causes a Critical Error.
• Clicking List Dates on the Repeating tab of an Entry dialog box erases any date previously added using the Additional Date feature.
• When printing an Address Book Entry using F11 or File | Print Selected Entry, any Personal Notes and Notes are printed without carriage returns.
• If you change your on-line password, your off-line password is automatically modified.
• In the CorporateTime 4.1 User Guide, the 4.2 Appendix for Wireless Message Notification is inaccurate. For up-to-date information on configuring your mobile device for notification, refer to the on-line help included with the product.

• When printing an Agenda for an extended date range, it is possible that more days than requested will be printed up and that the events shown on the printed page will not correspond to those scheduled in your Agenda. (#11000)
• When there are no default reminders, reminders that are set in the New Meetings | Reminders tab disappear when you select "Apply to all" in the General tab. (#12687)

• If you attempt to reschedule an instance of a recurring Day Event or Daily Note while in the In-tray, that particular instance is removed from your Agenda. You can click on Parent set to make that Event or Note reappear. (#12960)
• In the Day View and the Week View, you can scroll up and down to see the meeting blocks. However, the time bar on the left will not change with the appropriate meeting times. (#13235)
• When two Agendas are open and the user tries to print his own Agenda after doing a print preview, the second user's Agenda will be printed. (#13278)
• The Unison.log file always appears on the user's desktop. It can be deleted but will reappear every time the Agenda is opened. (#13295)
• If you create a group meeting that repeats over several days and select "Conflicts: Display" to discover that more than one instance has a conflict with another meeting, those meetings will have red Xs displayed beside them. However, if you are in the Repeating tab and delete one of conflicting repeating meetings, the red X disappears from any other meeting that may also have a conflict, even though "Conflicts: Display" is still selected.
