Important notice: FontExplorer X Server version 1.6 requires

FontExplorer X Pro version 3.1.x for Macintosh or FontExplorer X Pro

version 2.3 for Windows. It is not compatible with older client versions!

Before updating a server version always make a backup of your server files. You can use the backup function in the server administration section of FontExplorer X Pro.

Changes in Version 1.6.1

Resolved Issues:

• Fonts uploaded to the FontExplorer X Server version 1.6 were sometimes missing after restarting the server. This could also be seen after restoring a backup or after server replication, both of which require a server restart
• Fixed an issue where login was slow when connecting to servers with many nested sets and folders
• Server error messages were not shown correctly when the language was set to French
• LDAP directory was not displayed correctly when accessing Open Directory (Mac client only)
• With "Hide Library" enabled, users with "Write" permissions on Sets were able to select File>Import
• Connection between server and client was periodically lost during font upload/download
• After a long connection (more than 8 hours) users were not notified that their login had expired and were forced to quit the client in order to log in again
• In the LDAP Configure Domains window, the Domain Name field allowed entry of IP addresses. An error is now displayed when attempting to save the configuration
• In the LDAP Configure Domains window, the Domain Name field was labeled "IP or Hostname" in the German and French translations. This has been changed to "Domain Name" (German: "Domänen-Name:" French: "Nom de Domaine")
• After upgrades of server with LDAP Authentication enabled, administrators were not automatically directed to LDAP Configure Domains window and instructed to enter domain information
• Windows server panel Backup Destination now allows selection of a network directory for backup
• Offline usage information in the small info panel is not displayed accurately when not logged in to the FontExplorer X Server
• Slave servers would sometimes fail to automatically restart, especially after long replications. This would require manually restarting the server panel and the server to correct the issue
• Slave replication would loop if replication time was less than a minute
• LDAP Synchronization would occasionally assign users to the wrong group

Server New Features:

• The Slave server will now attempt to restart itself multiple times in the event of restart failures after replication (Windows only)
• The Windows server can now be configured in the Logging tab to send email notification of server crashes

Server known issues:

• Due to changes to better handle concurrent user load, server upload and download times may be slower than those seen with FontExplorer X Server version 1.5
• OS X 10.4 only: "Check for updates" will fail when updating FontExplorer X Server software version 1.6 to version 1.6.1. A message "The update is improperly signed" will be shown which must be responded to with "Cancel update". Workaround: Download the new server version from the FontExplorer X website at www.fontexplorerx.com/download.
